Apparently neither Stallone nor anyone else who worked on this picture could bear to part with the lumpish likability that all tried so hard to establish at the beginning. In the end they sacrifice everything-insight, morality, a dramatic arc-to preserve intact their star's only known quality, best described as a sort of vulgar affability...

Then Roso the bear, who was always carrying around a big pot of honey and eating from it during animal council meetings and when talking to newshounds, announced his own plan--in his own words, a plan to revolutionize the sheep's intellectual diet and put Vard back in the leadership role it had grown accustomed to. Instead of letting sheep eat whatever kinds of apples they wanted, like MacIntosh apples, and little green apples and tasty golden ones, he would have all the sheep eat the same thing--the cores of the apples. Then they would grow...

...sheep were upset. After all, they knew what tasted good, and besides, they didn't like being ignored as if they didn't matter. First the fox and now the bear were trying to change their lives around without even asking them.

This made the United Flock very mad, and they ran around the yard bleating loudly, and lit the grass on fire, and took over the holy oak and the duck pond and Roso the bear's lair and Archie the badger's house and John the fox's den and the nests of the council of owls, and fired all the goats, and told the sheep they could have hot apples again and they could eat whatever kind of food they wanted and could live wherever they wanted to. Then the United Flock sold the Aparkside rocks, and declared Vard...
