I have no idea why they chose this theme for such a risky animated film. They should have tried to make a few short films first, before taking such a big step.
I’m a cartoon fool. I really like cartoons made with the stop motion technique. If it’s a cartoon, stop motion and made by the Aardman studio, well, I’m a fan before I even watch it. Even if I didn’t know all this before I watched “Robin Robin” on Netflix, I wouldn’t have complains. It is a very fun Christmas short film!
It is a heartwarming Xmas tale about family, friendship, social roles and birds that cannot fly. The story is very absurd and fun, the character design is very cute and the cartoon also has Gillian Anderson as a very, very mean cat.
I watched the cartoon and when I realized I was singing the rules of the sneak song along with the characters
This was absolutely charming and doesn’t outstay its welcome, the sneaking song being just delightful. And the animation is incredible, very beautifully realised in felt.
I just watched a few episodes of Arcane which I didn’t even initially realize is based on a video game series. (So I guess that’s high praise for any video-game based show?) I was excited to see Shohreh Aghdashloo (Secretary Avasarala in The Expanse) doing the voice work for a cool character but unfortunately the character isn’t as big a part of the series as I had hoped.
I am glad you liked it. I had to share this cartoon. It was a great pleasure to watch such a neat and innocent work of animation after the last two years.
Beyond what the review above captures, I was horrified that so many found this story to be charming and funny, instead of a disturbing tale of desperation, oppression, and dysfunction.
I had a similar response to what struck me as a good Chilean drama about a live-in maid. She rules over the family and chases away other people hired by the family because she’s worried they’re after her job. I read afterward that there’s a comedic tradition in Chilean TV shows around maids, so people there would find these scenes humorous.
I must confess I didn’t watch It as It is not available in my streaming services yet. But my mom watched and liked the movie.
The film is also classified as a dramatic comedy. But I think it was because of Ms. Regina Casé, a talented actress who is famous for comedic movies and TV shows.
