== Robin Robin ==
The story begins on a stormy night, when an egg falls out of a robin's nest and is discovered by a family of thieving mice. The family's patriarch, Dad Mouse, rescues the egg from a hungry Cat and takes it into their home, where it hatches. That is when the mouse family decide to raise the chick as their own.
Years later, Christmas is approaching. Robin, who has developed a mouse's ears, and her family head out to raid a nearby house. Robin is excited to steal a sandwich, but she is misunderstood by her mouse family. Dad Mouse reminds his family of the rules of the raid, especially to stay quiet and out of sight, but Robin can't conceal her excitement. The mouse family steal pieces of food, while Robin does her best to stay calm, with little luck, and prepares to steal the sandwich, but mistakenly alerts a woman, who notices her and Dad Mouse.
After escaping the house, Robin's family decides to choose a new one. Pip, one of the mouse children, chastises Robin for the botched raid, but Dad Mouse reminds them that they still have plenty to eat and sends his children to bed before comforting Robin.
That night, Robin goes outside to think, hoping to make her family proud. She goes into a nearby shed, unaware that it is the lair of the ravenous Cat - the one who ate Robin's parents. Robin dashes out and bumps into an old Magpie, who, after obtaining a small shiny bottle cap, notices the Cat. They break into a run and make it to safety towards the Magpie's home, but not before Robin tells him she can't fly. Robin manages to enter the magpie's home, where the Magpie tells her of an enchanted wishing star that people put on Christmas trees, as well as special things that she could have. Robin decides to get the star before explaining she was raised by mice.
The two birds sneak into the "Who-man" house but mistakenly cause a mess. They manage to get the Christmas star, but Robin lands into the cat's lair. The wicked Cat stalks Robin, taunting her for her being raised by mice. She attempts to eat Robin, but the magpie comes to the rescue with a match. Robin attempts to defend herself against the cat, but mistakenly sets off a bunch of fireworks. Robin and the Magpie return to his den with the star. However, Robin notices the destruction she mistakenly caused and makes it clear to the magpie that she wishes she was a real mouse. The next day, the Magpie comforts Robin before the sun rises and Robin's mouse family returns with loot.
Robin apologizes for her mishaps, but the evil Cat finds them. The Cat chases Robin, her family, and the Magpie into the Magpie's home. She prepares to eat Robin's family, but Robin manages to distract her with her singing. Robin rushes onto a large branch, where the Cat closes in for the kill. The branch snaps under their weight, sending the cat plunging into the icy river. Robin, however, manages to escape by flying as the Cat is swept away. The family embraces, praising Robin for her courage. Dad Mouse makes it clear to Robin that she'll always be part of their family.
Dad Mouse welcomes the Magpie to the family, and they pull off a successful heist from a Who-man house. Afterwards, the mouse family - Robin and the Magpie included - have a huge feast and live happily ever after.
