Robin Robin 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; Richard 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.
“When her egg fortuitously rolls into a rubbish dump, Robin is raised by a loving family of mice,” reads the synopsis. “As she grows up, her differences become more apparent. Robin sets off on the heist to end all heists to prove to her family that she can be a really good mouse – but ends up discovering who she really is.”
