Also question is, was oddball a real dog?
Oddball, the maremma that proved dogs could be used to protect a Victorian penguin colony and inspired a movie in the process, has died aged 15. She spent only two weeks on Middle Island but her short trip led to a permanent penguin-protection project being set up and a 2015 film being named after her.
Similarly, is oddball a sad movie? There is one evil person who hurts Oddball and wants to get rid of him so starts killing the penguins. The best parts of the movie are the humour and the sadness. The film is funny and touching and loving. The film is basically about love.
