Robin Robin: Trailer and key art released for Aardman/Netflix short
The rules of the sneak are simple and thus.
Follow them close you can steal a crust.
Or a crumpet rind, or a pinch of pie,
or the grease from the tip of a soggy french fry!
Netflix and Aardman have released the official trailer for their upcoming stop-motion animated musical holiday short Robin Robin. Created and directed by BAFTA® winner Mikey Please and Dan Ojari with a script by Ojari, Please and Sam Morrison, the short is currently in production at Aardman’s award-winning UK studio and will feature the voice of Bronte Carmichael as the titular Robin alongside Gillian Anderson, Richard E. Grant and Adeel Akhtar.
When her egg fortuitously rolls into a rubbish dump, Robin is raised by a loving family of mice. 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.
The launch of the trailer is accompanied by a new poster for the short.

Voice cast
- 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!
Robin Robin will premiere on Netflix November 24th, 2021
