Robin Robin
Description
A delightful stop-motion holiday special from Netflix and Aardman Animations, makers of Shaun the Sheep, Chicken Run, and Wallace & Gromit. 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. Featuring the voice talent of Bronte Carmichael, Richard E. Grant, Gillian Anderson, and Adeel Akhtar.
Robin Robin will be screened along with another surprise holiday program from Aardman Animations. Stick around afterwards for a pre-recorded behind the scenes Q&A with Directors Dan Ojari and Mikey Please.
