Meet the voices of the star-studded flock of sheep in “The Sheep Detectives” Out in PH cinemas this May 6

Herding a voice cast for a whole flock of wooly characters is no mean feat, but there’s an additional twist to finding the right actors for The Sheep Detectives. Every sheep has its own unique personality, but the actors’ delivery and mannerisms would directly influence how their sheep would be fleshed out through animation. 

“We actually capture footage of the actors while they’re recording—multiple angles of their faces,” says

animator Maya Storm Shrestha. “From that, we translate their physical performances into the animation

in a way that balances character expression with how a sheep’s anatomy naturally works.”

In The Sheep Detectives, voices from acclaimed actors like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rhys Darby, Patrick Stewart, Bryan Cranston, and more give life to a fluffy cast of characters tasked with solving the mysterious death of their beloved shepherd, George (Hugh Jackman). Driven by their shepherd’s nightly detective novel readings to the flock, the wooly investigators try to prove that even sheep can solve the toughest of mysteries.

Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/kUbc_7ue_Ho

We start with Lily, the smartest sheep in the group, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Lawful and loyal, she is devoted to George and helms the investigation for the flock. “Lily’s loyalty to George is unbreakable,” says Louis-Dreyfus. “She’s taken what George modeled for her and applies it not only to solving the crime, but to being a kindhearted leader. In doing so, she really addresses her own fears and becomes a better leader.”

The respected elder of the flock is the regal Sir Ritchfield, voiced by Patrick Stewart. As a voice actor, Stewart manages to crack the crew up with his unexpectedly humorous line deliveries. “One of my favorite pieces of voice acting in the movie comes from Patrick Stewart,” says Executive/Animation Producer Tyson Hesse. “We simply asked him to keep repeating the word ‘murderer’ with escalating intensity, and each time it just got funnier and funnier. It became a great unexpected running gag.”

Cynical loner Sebastian is voiced by Bryan Cranston. The solitary sheep joined the flock at an older age, and has never truly assimilated. Sebastian’s personality serves as a foil against the rest of the group, which Cranston appreciates. “Sebastian’s perspective is essential to good storytelling,” Cranston says. “You need contrasting viewpoints—something for the character to push against. Otherwise, it’s boring.”

Paired with Lily, Cranston and Louis-Dreyfus channeled past chemistry to give their characters’ relationship authenticity. “Julia and I go way back—to Seinfeld, when our characters dated,” Cranston says. “When you know her voice and the vulnerability she brings, you can feel that rhythm between the characters. It becomes not just Lily and Sebastian, but something more—a relationship that gives the story real heart.”

“The Sheep Detectives” brings mystery and humor to Philippine cinemas on May 6.

Jobstreet’s SEEK Pass launches IELTS and PTE verification, helping job seekers showcase English proficiency

 PRESS RELEASE

SEEK today announced the launch of English proficiency verification on SEEK Pass, its verified credential passport, across the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.

Through partnerships with IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and Pearson, provider of the Pearson Test of English (PTE), job seekers can now verify that they have completed a recognised English proficiency assessment via SEEK Pass. Once verified, these credentials can be displayed on candidate profiles and job applications across SEEK, Jobstreet and Jobsdb, making it easier for employers to identify candidates with the language skills they need.

SEEK Pass is Jobstreet by SEEK’s trusted digital career passport used by over four million individuals to securely manage and share their verified identity, credentials, and documents, helping them match with opportunities that best suit their skills. 

English proficiency is a critical hiring factor for many roles across the region. It is essential for positions requiring cross-market collaboration in multinational organisations, and equally important for customer service, hospitality, and frontline roles where strong English communication helps candidates stand out. Many job seekers invest significant time and money in English language assessments to strengthen their employability, and SEEK Pass now enables them to verify these credentials and make their highly sought-after skills visible to employers.

Xavier Russo, General Manager of SEEK Pass, says, “We've seen how verified credentials can make a real difference for job seekers, helping them stand out in a competitive job market while giving employers what they need to make faster, more confident decisions. English proficiency is one of the most in-demand skills across our markets, particularly in Asia, where language skills are often a deciding factor in hiring. Partnering with IELTS and Pearson to bring English proficiency verification to SEEK Pass means we’re solving a real problem for millions of job seekers and the employers looking to hire them.”

SEEK Pass has helped 4.5 million job seekers verify their credentials across the Asia Pacific, with verified applicants 20% more likely to be shortlisted by employers in Australia and New Zealand. Since launching in Asia a year ago, SEEK Pass has seen strong adoption with job seekers on Jobstreet and Jobsdb increasingly using verified credentials to stand out. English proficiency verification adds to SEEK Pass's growing range of verifiable credentials, which includes identity verification, working rights, education, employment history and industry-specific licences and credentials.

“At IDP, we believe language skills should open doors. Job seekers invest real effort to earn an IELTS score, and this partnership with SEEK Pass helps them display their score with pride. We are proud to support any initiative that helps test takers achieve better outcomes as they move into work," said Micheal James, Director, IELTS Operations.

"The inclusion of PTE within SEEK Pass is a meaningful step forward for both employers and job seekers across APAC,” said Matthew Lampkin, Director, Asia Pacific, English Language Learning, Pearson. “For employers, it offers a trusted and efficient way to verify English proficiency, supporting fairer and more confident hiring decisions. For candidates, it creates a simpler, more accessible pathway to showcase their skills and improve their employability — helping them progress faster in an increasingly competitive job market.”

SEEK Pass plans to expand its English proficiency partnerships to include additional providers in the future.
