OK, so Robin Robin isn’t really a movie. It’s a 32-minute short. But I wanted to watch it, which means you’re going to read about it.
When Robin (Bronte Carmichael) was an egg, she rolled into a den of mice. After she hatched, she was raised by the family of mice. While Robin was taught how to be a sneaky mouse, she was never good at it. Will she learn how to be a bird?
Robin Robin is definitely aimed at smaller children. The story is basically figuring out who you are and learning how to be yourself. And it is absolutely adorable! It is done in stop motion animation with, I believe, felt dolls. I loved the look of the characters. The felt somehow gave them a slightly more realistic look than animation would but, at the same time, you could tell that they weren’t real. It was a nice change to traditional children’s shows.
If you have small children, they would definitely enjoy Robin Robin. I’m not sure that older children would appreciate the story. I think they might think they are too cool for it. And those adults that are children at heart? You should watch it and aww over how adorable everything is. Oh, and try to keep yourself from wanting a robin of your own. I hear they aren’t quite as cute as the one in the show.
