A Sheep in the Deep

A Sheep in the Deep is a 1962 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and Maurice Noble.[1] The short was released on February 10, 1962, and stars Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog.[2]

Like all Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog shorts, this short is mostly composed of visual gags. Mel Blanc provided for the voices of all the characters. It is the sixth short featuring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog, as well as the last cartoon featuring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog to be directed by Jones (their next appearance was in Woolen Under Where, released in 1963 and directed by Phil Monroe and Richard Thompson). It was also the first of the last two cartoons featuring them to be written by Chuck Jones (the previous cartoons were written by Michael Maltese, who had already left for Hanna-Barbera in 1959. The second was Woolen Under Where).
