Before you press play
An egg rolls out of a nest on a stormy night. A cat is already in the tree. Mice find the chick and raise her. Soft felt, songs, crumbs stolen from a human house. Robin wants to belong. The cat is not a joke villain. She stalks, she calls Robin a freak, and she wants to eat her. Thirty-two minutes. Kind family. One real hunter.
- Raised by another family
- Trying to fit in
- A Christmas heist

What may feel big
The opening: storm, feathers, a cat leaving the tree, an egg alone. Later the cat corners Robin and sings that she is a misfit and a terrible mouse. Tools in the cat's space look sharp. A magpie in a dump talks about shiny things like a collector, not a parent. The house heist has hiding and near-misses. Robin does fly. The cat does not get a meal on screen.
4-6. Sit with them, lamp on for the start and the cat songs. Skip the cat if your child already startles at predators. The mice are warm. The cat is the reason this is not a nap film.
7-9. A fair try. Pause for the opening and the 'freak' song. Belonging talk may land harder than the chase if your child hates feeling different.
10-12. Short and fine. They may find it young and still clock the cat's voice.

If you have not watched it yet
Should I sit with them?
Plan to sit with them at least until 6. After that, many families can watch with a grown-up nearby rather than on the couch. The notes above say what happens. You know your child. This is not medical advice.
