In this stop-motion short film, a bird raised by mice begins to question where she belongs and sets off on a daring journey of self-discovery.

Animation,Adventure,ComedyJust watched it 5 minutes ago. Overwhelmed!
Exquisite, heart-rending - I can't praise it enough. Yes, it is about birds, mice and cats - but also, in the most human way, how these (felt) creature navigate a world of desire, threat and identity.
Aardman have done a fantastic job. It takes me back to the wonder of childhood. And it will become a Xmas classic - just like the Snowman.
Well, what about it at the technical level is so good? Simple answer: The stop motion animation, lighting, script, puppet design, performances, music, songs, etc etc are all just stunningly accomplished.
I enjoyed every second and wished it was longer. (My only criticism is that it is too short.)
I hope there is a follow up next year.
Chapeau! Congrats! Well done!
