Watch the new trailer for Aardman’s Robin Robin starring Gillian Anderson & Richard E. Grant

Netflix has released the new trailer for the upcoming stop-animation musical holiday special, Robin Robin, which will debut on the service on 24th November 2021.

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 30-minute special is produced for Netflix by Academy Award® winning studio, Aardman Animation, based in Bristol, UK.

Golden Globe® winner Gillian Anderson (The Crown) and Oscar® nominee Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?) lead the cast which also includes Bronte Carmichael (Christopher Robin) and Adeel Akhtar (Enola Holmes).

The special was created and directed by Dan Ojari (Slow Derek) and Mikey Please (BAFTA® winner for The Eagleman Stag)

• 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!
