Aardman to make first animated musical, Robin Robin, about baby bird raised by mice
Aardman Productions, the Oscar-winning
British studio behind Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep, is breaking its longstanding relationship with the
BBC and turning to
Netflix for its first animated musical, the Guardian can reveal.
An official announcement will be made on Friday that Aardman is
shooting Robin Robin, a family film about a baby robin redbreast that goes missing. A cast of woodland creatures will be made from natural materials, such as woollen felt and twigs.
