Gillian Anderson gives the ASMR performance of a lifetime in this cutesy original Christmas tale by the always heartwarming Aardman Animations.
“Okay, we’re going to have to be the sneakiest mice we’ve ever been.”
“.... But, you’re not a mouse”
This charmingly cute Christmas special from Aardman, features an orphaned robin named Robin who’s adopted by mice and trained in the art of crumb robbin'.
These fantastical felt furries inhabit a world that's so wonderfully whimsical and densely packed that I could stare at it for hours and still find something shiny, special and new.
Richard E. Grant is marvelous as the materialistic magpie and Gillian Anderson makes for nicely menacing Cheshire Cat of felt-nip.
Speaking of which….
BONUS POINTS for Dink, the cat loving mouse who wants nothing more than to be the feline’s friend.
”Can the cat be in the family?”
‘No, Dink, the cat tried to eat us.”
[2022 Oscar-nominated animated short film]
I'm really sitting out here crying and throwing up on the floor in the middle of the night because of a short animated movie about a bird who was raised by mice and just wants to fit in and loved by them.
That was the most un-sneaky,
...stupid,
...brilliant,
...birdy-mousy thing we've ever seen!
Yep, that about sums it up.
Robin grew up with mice,
And so they named her twice.
Although she can't fly,
They'll all get by,
So it all turns out quite nice.
Not only is this stop-motion from Aardman, but you get to listen to Richard E. Grant be a doofus and Gillian Anderson purr and meow as a villainous cat.
