Shoutout to the dad mouse for raising four kids and a bird ALL ON HIS OWN. What a sweetheart
Like every Aardman production, it’s sweet and takes its time to tell its story. This didn’t felt like stop motion since I felt the models were like child made toy crafts. Definitely check this one out

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. -

(Tumble’s 94th Oscars Death Race Journey #44/53)
“We’re on our way to break into a house, might be a bird, but I sneak just like a mouse”
The very beloved stop motion mastermind known as Aardman returns with this sweet story about a robin adopted by a mouse family in a Christmastime setting. Although the plot played it safe with its 32 minute runtime, it’s still worth the time thanks to how charming it is. The voice cast is very impressive, with Richard E. Grant and Gillian Anderson, but Bronte Carmichael as the titular Robin deserves praise too. The animation is also very solid with its fixture of using soft fur like texture, making it feel like an arts and crafts show, which I genuinely loved because that’s the type of stuff that stop motion needs. Really enjoyed this one and it’s definitely gonna win animated short

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.
