Synopsis

One day, a flock of sheep grazing peacefully on a hillside are startled by a loud noise overhead. Curious, they discover an air race about to begin and can't resist exploring a bright yellow aeroplane nearby. Before they know it, the sheep find themselves squashed into the cockpit, soaring through the skies. Their unexpected journey takes them on a whirlwind tour around the world, from dancing the can-can in France to encountering a Yeti in Tibet. After their thrilling adventures, the sheep return home, just in time to avoid being caught by the plane's owner.
