Robot Dreams - Review

Do You Remember?

4.5 / 5

Directed by Pablo Berger.

Dog lives in Manhattan and he’s tired of being alone. One day he decides to build himself a robot, a companion.

What a beautiful gift Robot Dreams is.

A silent Spanish-French independent animation that won the hearts of the world all the way to an Oscar Nomination. Without speaking a word, it tells a universal story of connection and loneliness.

Robot Dreams is so full of warmth, using its colourful alternative New York setting to draw you in before delivering a silently devastating story where an animated dog and robot will tug at your heartstrings while weaponising the music of Earth, Wind & Fire.

Pablo Berger and his team at Arcadia Motion Pictures have created something truly special, boiling universal storytelling down to its core elements to create one of the year's biggest surprises.
