The way Sheep Detectives poetrayed grief in a way that was eminently relateable to a small child while not being patronizing, all by introducing the flock's ability to forget and Mopple's refusal to. Mopple taking the thematic role of a parent explaining death and grief to their child, first in terms of distant euphemism and then more directly when it cannot be avoided. Lily realizing that Mopple has seen death already, in the way a child grieving for the first time realizes that grief is something their parents have experienced before. The message of facing grief head-on, because the alternative is forgetting the love that led you to mourn, is told so so simply but not condescendingly so.
Good movie go watch it
