Robot Dreams (PG)

Silent animation

Dog lives in Manhattan. He’s tired of being alone, so one day he decides to build himself a companion, Robot. Their friendship blooms and they become inseparable, together exploring 1980s New York. But one summer night, Dog is forced to abandon Robot at the beach. Will they ever meet again?

Based on the popular graphic novel by Sara Varon, Pablo Berger’s (Blancanieves) first animation is a dialogue-free love story about friendship – its importance, meaning and fragility. Wise, wistful and funny, with evocative sound design and a lovely soundtrack (including joyous use of Earth, Wind & Fire’s dance-floor filler ‘September’), it’s full of nods to silent cinema classics.

"Wise and wondrous... kids will be amused and enchanted" ★★★★ The Telegraph
