Nominated for Best Animated Short 
Orphaned as an egg, Robin (Bronte Carmichael) the robin is raised by a family of mice. The mice are very good at sneaking into houses to steal crumbs of food but Robin has never quite grasped the concept. Determined to prove herself to her family, Robin decides to sneak into a house on her own, but runs into a recovering magpie (Richard E. Grant) and a self-esteem destroying cat (Gillian Anderson) along the way.
It's a cute short about embracing differences and what family means. It's also by Aardman, the studio that puts out the Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep films. I'm not sure it's super revolutionary but it is nice to see a non-Disney studio putting out regular work. Animation is expensive to produce and all of it should be celebrated.
Robin Robin is currently streaming on Netflix.
