Robot Dreams

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.

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.

Nominated for Best Animated Feature at the upcoming Academy Awards, Robot Dreams is an achingly bittersweet story about our intrinsic need for connection & companionship while also highlighting the several meaningful relationships we make, cherish, lose & move on from while journeying through the varying seasons of what we call life. Though the story is slightly drawn out and repetitive in its course, the simple animation, sincere emotions & wordless storytelling makes this Spanish-French tragicomedy a worthy sit that speaks directly to the soul, strikes a heartfelt chord and aptly portrays the painful absurdities of fate.

I wish all children's films were remotely close to what Pablo Berger has achieved with his animated debut.

A film that manages to be enjoyable for both children and adults. A work that will undoubtedly grow with the younger viewer, since its true story is hidden between the lines.

A superb handling of visual humor, along with some dramatic shots to make them poster and that tear you apart.

At times it doesn't work for me and I feel it gets repetitive or stalls certain sequences too long, time that could have been used to explore a certain character at the end or other tangents, but when, it works, damn, it knows where to play. I wish this animation would come back to the big studios in North America.

I love you crocodile boy.

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.
