In Robin Robin, when an egg falls from the nest, a hatchling 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.
The stop-motion special will feature the voices of: Gillian Anderson (The Crown) as Cat, the villain of our story who just so happens to know a place where everything is welcome, her tummy; Richart E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?) as Magpie, an obsessive collector of shiney ‘stuff; Adeel Aktar (The Big Sick) as Dad Mouse, a caring but cautious soul who is single-handedly raising a family of five children; and Bronte Carmichael (Christopher Robin) as Robin.
