From the creators of Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Chicken Run, the latest stop-motion film by four time Academy Award-winning Aardman Animations will be released on November 24.
The half-hour short emphasises the importance of belonging by taking a robin, raised by a family of burglar mice, on a journey of self-discovery where she learns the worth of being herself.
Twinkl, based on Ecclesall Road, will be providing the official resources for young viewers aged three to 11, prior to the film’s release, and the storyline fits into their wider campaign all about wellbeing this Christmas. The film features the voices of Gillian Anderson and Richard E. Grant.
