What is Robin Robin?

Netflix have revealed the following description of the film:

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.

Who are the Robin Robin 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 shiny ‘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!

When is Robin Robin released?

Robin Robin is released on November 24, 2021, on Netflix.

Perfect timing for repeated family viewing over the Christmas holidays.
