Well, that ending surely was unpexpected, to say the least.
At first glance, "Oh Sheep!" might seem as the typical black comedy cartoon about cute animals dying violently, in the same vein of stuff like Happy Tree Friends (Though nowhere as tasteless as that series)
But it also can be seen as a tale about what unites and separates people, leading them ultimately to their own destruction: At first, the sheep were somewhat united by a common struggle, while at the end they only focus in what makes them different from each other, starting to fight to death, much to the dismay of the shepherds.
A bit dark, but also amusing.
And despite the violence, the short does not indulge in gore more than the necessary, keeping a light-hearted feel instead of the gratuitous sadism of stuff like Happy Tree Friends.
