Netflix releases the trailer and key art for the upcoming animated, holiday short, Robin Robin, which will debut on the service on November 24th, 2021.

The 30 minute short is produced for Netflix by Academy Award winning studio, Aardman, based in Bristol, UK, and stars voice cast Bronte Carmichael (Christopher Robin), Adeel Akhtar (Enola Holmes), Golden Globe winner Gillian Anderson (The Crown) and Oscar nominee Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?).

Bronte Carmichael will voice Robin. When her egg falls from the nest, Robin is adopted by a family of mice, and raised as one of their own. Not quite a bird and not quite a mouse, but full of determination. Robin sets out on an adventure to prove herself and just maybe, get a sandwich.

Adeel Akhtar voices Dad Mouse, a caring but cautious soul who is single-handedly raising a family of five children (one of them happens to be an adopted bird).

Richard E Grant will voice Magpie, an obsessive collector of shiney ‘stuff’. Magpie takes Robin under his ‘wing’, on a journey of self discovery. Underneath his many ruffled feathers he really is a good egg. Gillian Anderson voices Cat. The villain of our story who just so happens to know a place where everything is welcome, her tummy!

Created and Directed by: Dan Ojari (Slow Derek) and Mikey Please (The Eagleman Stag; Written by: Dan Ojari, Mikey Please and Sam Morrison; Produced by: Helen Argo (Tate Movie Project, Wallace & Gromit’s Musical Marvels), Music and Songs by: The Bookshop Band.
