Robin Robin is a 2021 stop-motion animated musical comedy film. It tells the adorable and heartwarming story of a young robin who is raised by a family of mice. It is directed by Dan Ojari and Mikey Please and produced by Aardman Animations, the same studio that brought the world Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. The movie starts with a group of mice living in a cozy home under the floorboards of a posh restaurant in the countryside, where they spend their days gathering scraps of food from the kitchen. One day, a robin egg accidentally falls into their midst, and they decide to hatch it and raise the newborn bird as their own. When the robin emerges from the egg, the mice are surprised to discover that she has a beak and feathered wings, but they quickly welcome her into their family.
The robin, named Robin, grows up among the mice, playing and singing with them while dreaming of flying in the sky like other birds. However, because of her peculiar upbringing, she does not know how to fly, much to the amusement of her new mouse siblings. Robin's mother, Maggie (voiced by Gillian Anderson), encourages her to be herself and cheerfully croons, "you are Robin, Robin, and that's just fine."
As Robin learns more about the world around her, she becomes increasingly curious about the dangers that lurk outside her cozy mouse den. She hears stories from her mouse siblings about the fearsome cat, Whiskerface, and wonders if there are other robins like her in the world. Eventually, her curiosity gets the better of her, and she ventures into the unknown, determined to find her place in the world.
Along the way she meets various animals of the forest, including a grumpy badger named Gordon (voiced by Richard E. Grant) and a sly fox who tries to help her fly. She also discovers that her unique upbringing has given her some valued skills, such as her ability to burrow underground like a mouse. With the help of her new friends, Robin learns to embrace her individuality and spread her wings.
The film is a joyful celebration of family, self-discovery, and the spirit of adventure. It is gorgeously animated, with stunning attention to detail in every frame, from the fur on the mice to the feathers on the birds. The use of stop-motion animation adds to the movie's charm, giving the viewer the sense of watching a whimsical puppet show. The characters are likable and endearing, and the witty script is peppered with clever jokes and catchy musical numbers.
Robin Robin is the perfect family movie, suitable for viewers of all ages. It is delightful, heartwarming, and will leave you feeling fuzzy inside. The movie is a true gem, and a must-watch for anyone who loves animation and uplifting stories.
