Oddball is an adorable sheepdog who just
will not listen. He’s supposed to protect
Farmer Swampy Marsh’s chickens from
prowling foxes, but instead, his main pastime
is tearing through town and knocking things
over—he’s number one on the Warrnambool
dogcatcher’s most wanted list. But when the
oceanside town is threatened by potential
closure of the penguin sanctuary that financially
supports most of the town’s inhabitants,
including Farmer Marsh’s daughter,
Oddball becomes an unexpected hero. Turns
out, Oddball does have a knack for protecting
flightless birds, so long as they’re black
and white. Grab the whole family and treat
them to one of the sweetest, cutest films you
ever will see, complete with an environmental
message and (spoiler alert) a very happy
ending. And the best part? It’s a true story!
