Lói: Þú Flýgur Aldrei Einn

Lói: Þú Flýgur Aldrei Einn (known in English as Ploey: You Never Fly Alone or Ploey, and in some European countries as Flying the Nest) is a 2018 Icelandic-Belgian 3D animated adventure film directed by Árni Ólafur Ásgeirsson and written by Friðrik Erlingsson, with the score composed by Atli Örvarsson. Produced by Iceland-based GunHill and Belgian animation company Cyborn, while being worldwide distributed by German ARRI Media, the film is the second Icelandic animated feature after Legends of Valhalla: Thor (Hetjur Valhallar - Þór) from 2011. It tells the story of a golden plover named Ploey, which has not learned to fly and because of this was left behind when his family migrates in the fall, meaning he must try to survive the vicious arctic winter by himself in order to be reunited with his family next spring.

The film was in production on and off for 7 years before being finished. Ploey was released in Iceland on 2 February 2018, and in the UK on 6 June 2018. It grossed $281,303 in Iceland, contributing to a worldwide total of $6,110,461. The highest grossing country was France, which had a gross of $954,533. It received generally negative reviews from critics.
