Mi Amigo Robot

The characters are super cute. Despite not having any dialogues, it's able to capture a lot of charm about them.

However, this movie is clearly a short story concept idea that was forcibly stretched to 1 hour and 43 minutes.

It's cute, but if you want excitement, this movie isn't it. I feel this is one of those movies you would watch at midnight with less distraction/to go to sleep.

Kids may not get it, but this movie is clearly a symbolism/message/made that people come and go in life (ie: the birds/family); or if you're in a first relationship that you can't get over with (ie: 500 Days of Summer)

The actions of the dog can be pretty frustrating to watch.

Overall, it's a cute "short film" that is pretty overstretched with some mundane scenes; you can interpret the movie to a deeper meaning; if you also live in New York/love New York or love the song 'Earth, Wind & Fire - September' then this movie is for you.

The movie touches moving, universal themes such as: the power of connection, the essence of knowing someone who helps you discover the world with new eyes, and the painful absurdities of fate. The animation has beautiful details, rich in color and details, delightfully lit. It's amazing that such a simple style of animation can be so deep and intricate.

The story is told without any spoken words and in a beautiful minimalist animation, but yet it brings forward such complex emotions. I felt loneliness, excitement, despair, hope, and tears from my heart. In the end, it is making us reflect on our own experiences, reminding us to appreciate the relationships we have had and we will have.

A thoroughly grown-up movie that has something important to say to children too, and a wistful work of animated art.

Now, I wish I had a robot friend.

This movie is basically the animated version of Past Lives.

In all seriousness, this movie was deeply beautiful. A great story about friendship, loss, and life with simple colorful animation that is carried with great direction film Filmmaker Pablo Berger, two likable characters, and great emotional depth and cores in the setting.

The writing explores many themes that were simple, yet emotional, touching, and engaging as the writing provides strong senses of atmospheres and fun characters to observe. I found myself being really emotionally connected with the characters, the settings, and I never thought I would honestly tear up about a dog and a robots friendship in my life. The animation is good and while it is simple, the setting and tone fits the animation style which worked pretty well.

With very little dialogue, it creates a very interesting atmosphere approach to the setting and characters and it worked. Alongside with good humor, good musical soundtracks, and sound designs. I really appreciate the filmmaker and others making this movie for creating an animation movie with great emotions, themes, and takes that most animated movies now are probably a little scared to go towards.

Despite being nominated for Oscar, it's honestly a shame this movie isn't talked much because this movie really deserves more recognition to the public. Definitely would be one of my top favorite films of 2023.

Well I just don't like it as much as I should. Maybe I just need to rewatch it again next time.

Robot Dreams starts off with charming characters and beautiful animation, making it easy to get attached. The first half is engaging and warm, delving into themes of friendship, imagination, and staying positive. However, the second half becomes repetitive and slow, which dims the initial appeal. The ending is touching and feels real, but overall, the film feels a bit too simple and stretched out. While it has effective, bittersweet moments and plenty of endearing gags, it ends up being a nice but somewhat scattered experience.

Really sweet, yet touching story of a dog and his robot friend starting off as best buddies then certain circumstances makes them take their own journeys and lessons in life. Intentionally mundane and meandering in many places just like life itself, the movie follows these two characters through their ups and downs in different ways. Sometimes the outcome you wanted just doesn't play out and like reality you accept the path you're now on. There is no dialogue at all in this, just music and sounds, and the movie does an excellent job at showing exactly what is going on and how the characters are feeling. Nice art style too. A pleasant watch.
