Synopsis

On a high mountain plain lives a lamb with wool of such remarkable sheen that he breaks into high-steppin' dance. But there comes a day when he loses his lustrous coat and, along with it, his pride. It takes a wise jackalope - a horn-adorned rabbit - to teach the moping lamb that wooly or not, it's what's inside that'll help him rebound from life's troubles.

After about one minute of this I was expecting Dame Julie Andrews to appear and break into "High on a hill was a lonely goatherd"! No, I'm not really sure why either, but at least there's a lamb in this story narrated using lyrical rhyme.
