This film left me in a state of odd emotion.

It really draws you in with its clever animation, and loveable characters.

Ive been in Dogs shoes, and I'm sure a lot of people can relate to the feeling of loneliness, and longing for connection.

When dog finally takes action, and purchaces Robot and builds his friend, it seems like they will be friends forever.

The journey that they both take is entertaining, sad at times, but shows exactly how life can be.

The end might not be what you were hoping for, but it's a realistic situation that anyone would have a hard time to accept.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. My only complaint was the length. I feel like the same story could have been told with less filler for that 90 movie run time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No pun intended - the movie is a love letter. To friendship, to life and to New York to a degree. I have not been to New York (it is a dream of mine to go there one day), but I imagine those who live there, will feel the mood and the general idea the movie gives us. This is New York of the 80s .. so yes a certain building is still standing strong - hopefully you do not have strong feelings about that. In a negative way that is.

The animation is good - and while you have to suspend your disbelief (a dog living on his own, being humanized - same with other animals), all being called by the name of ... well the animal they are. So the dog has the name dog on his door bell. There is one funny moment, where he (or she, but I assume it is he) has a tag with the name cat ... just a small little joke ... and there are many others to be found all over the movie.

Fore and background working hand in hand .. like our two main characters. Though you just know that things are way too perfect ... something has to give. And while that also requires a big amount of suspension of disbelief (there surely has to be another way to get ... "there"/inside/outside), it is important for the movie .. and the growth of the characters. We never know how our main character earns money btw - another things you just have to let go ... this is fantasy. Don't ruin it for yourself. And a very well written one at that. So enjoy it - as a dream and do not make it a nightmare ...

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.

Robot Dreams is a beautifully crafted, well structured, multi-layered animated feature that is packed with meaningful messages and emotional triggers about relationships, memories and connections. As you follow the story, the lack of dialogue sharpens your senses and your mind interprets the imagery but also supplies this process with your own experiences, attempting to connect to the pictures at a subconscious level. As the movie reaches the climax, you will realize that the movie has somehow mirrored a large number of your memories where relationships or connections ceased to exist because the passage of time got in the way. This overwhelming feeling will make you emotional.

Robot Dreams reminds me of Mary and Max: two unlikely characters find comfort and much more in each other's company, the magic of this connection gets imprinted onto a single piece of music used throughout the film, for Mary and Max it's Perpetuum Mobile and for Robot Dreams, well you can watch it for yourself.

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.

Robot Dreams is a beautiful and heartwarming story that doesn't shy away from tugging at the heart strings. The animation, while simple, is great and features some very memorable shots and scenes. There is no dialogue in the film so most of the emotions, especially from the robot, is communicated entirely through mouth shapes. It is really hard to put into words how much heart is communicated in those scenes, and it doesn't really shine through in the trailer.

There is an underlying tragedy and sadness to the story though. For every heartwarming feel-good moment, you get an equally sad one, with one in particular having been downright soul-crushing to me. It's not a depressing movie by any means, but I did tear up multiple times.

In the end, it left me with a bittersweet, hopeful feeling and the thought that even if you, your life, or the people in it can never go back to being the way they were, there is still happiness and good times ahead, and it's best to face it with a smile.

I saw this at Cell B in Blaenau Ffestiniog. It's a small cinema and there were a handful of other cinema-goers in there with us so the atmosphere was code-compliant, although nearly completely silent apart from the odd pithy chuckle and yawns.

Robot Dreams, unbeknownst to me, is an adaptation from graphic novels set in an early 1980's New York. The colour and the branding is turned up to 11 and at first I really enjoyed the animals and the New York vibe. I have visited New York and have a lot of warmth towards the place.

However the film really, really petered quite soon after the dog and the robot develop their friendship (is it more than a friendship?) They head to the beach then and a calamity befalls the loving couple then for a good hour we're repeatedly showed false reunifications between the films protagonists.

I won't spoil the ending, all I'll say is that it was disappointing to me. There was no pay-off only a haunting 'buckle-up buttercup' melancholic realisation they wouldn't be reunited. Or won't they? Maybe this ending was all a dream like the all the other dreams throughout the run-time.

When listening to film review podcasts the overarching question of 'who is the film for?' is repeated and, despite the brash, beautiful bold colours and cutesy characters Robot Dreams feels much more an adult film than a kids film. The final message certainly demands a mature heart and mind to make sense of.

I wanted to like it more, it's a sweet movie with a lot of heart and weird in a good way. However, i've got to be honest : It was too slow and uneventful. At some point, i turned into 2*speed and still, it was tough to watch. I even turned into 3*speed in order to finish it. I am not some 10 years old kid with ADHD, i am middle aged and i have no problem with slow movies if they are interesting, artistic and impactful. ROBOT DREAMS was unfortunately none of them. At least, not so much interesting nor impactful. Just a sweet story with a lonely dog and a robot and something unfortunate that happened to them. Frankly, i do not understand all those high ratings and praises, this should have been 40 minutes shorter in order just to became watchable.

Ending was somewhat unpredictable and clever.

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.

It's 1984. It's NYC. You're a Dog. You're lonely. What do you do? You buy a robot from an Infocommerical!

Saw at Chicago International FilmFest last October. I laughed, I cried, my heart ached than it sang. I can't remember the last time a movie made me smile so much.

I want to play Pong with Dog and drink Tab! If you like 80s references, you will enjoy how they are scattered throughout this movie!

I'll be counting down the days until I can see this again and especially when I can buy on my streaming device.

If you have ever felt lonely like you had no one, had friendships and lost them, you will understand this movie. Every time I hear "September" I will think of Dog and Robot roller skating in Central park!

Didn't know actually what I'm about to see, but the animation in the poster caught my eyes. I've also noticed its nomination for this year's Oscar awards, for animated movie, so this also caught my eyes. I wrapped the wife and kids and went to see the screening on a small cinema room with beanbags (and other kids on them) all over the floor.

It started with no words, so the kids immediately noticed this fact and reported about it. It continued with images, fabulous soundtrack and tones of sensitivity, which you cannot ignore, whether you are a kid or a grown up. No need to say any word to understand the loneliness of one dog, who live in New York of the 80's.

No need also to understand what one robot is bringing to his life, once he is connected and working. The entire noisy and colorful environment is not capable to give this dog half of what cold tin robot can supply. And then they get separated and the movie changes in two directions: the real world and the fantasy world - both demonstrate the longing and yearning to any contact. From both sides.

The movie's rhythm is just ecstatic and is part of wide spectrum of colors, images and type of animals and figures that appears in it. The music is one part of the success that wraps this production. The heart worming story and how it ends are other parts that just work great.

On the downside, the core of the movie is not a presentation of the friendship, but the will to get it back and how to fill the void, while searching for it. Doesn't always seem related, but It is so well crafted, so it didn't bother me to the actual movie flow - not a little bit and especially when kids of others caught my attention and jumped around to ruin the fluidity of the movie - externally.

It is definitely the material for the Oscars - a non-mainstream big studio movie that has New York in a nus shell. Its like a Woody Allen picture, without the whining and neurotic main character, which is played by Allen himself. It's a special movie and one you definitely don't want to miss - whether it wins the Oscar or not.

Hats off to director Pablo Berger for bringing Sara Varon's graphic novel to life in such a moving way. It revolves around the themes of friendship, longing, betrayal, and healing; plus, it has a dog and a robot as protagonists. Set in '80s NYC, the silent 2D-animated flick exudes a resonating hand-drawn charm, with the city's cosmopolitanism showcased to remarkably messy effect. I've taken a liking to ambitious filmmakers attempting to bring childrens' graphic novels to life, but with the realization that the underlying subject matter always finds greater relatability within adults.

Friendship (no matter the circumstances, and between whoever) is always something that'll immediately grab our attention, and that's the case here too. The film is adorably punctuated by great music, and I like to think, at times, there's nothing better than music to put emotions across. The visuals are filled with retro NYC essentials, and since Dog is a snacker, it shouldn't surprise you that there's plenty of food and beverages on display. I mention this because the film also left me reasonably hungry (and craving a hot dog and a pack of Flamin' Cheetos!).

The protagonists get separated quite early on, and you can draw easily parallels to real-world situations. Dog is trying to find new friends, and going on new adventures, and some of these chapters (or subplots) have that episodic quality to them. Not all of them contribute to the plot, such as the skiing adventure-turned-mishap, but they indicate the passage of time. On the other hand, Robot is left all alone on the beach, with only his dreams for company. The dream sequences have a likeable charm to them, even when you know they're just "dreams" (read: wishful thinking). The episode with the family of birds was wonderful, and one of the most memorable stretches in the film alongside the achingly beautiful finale.

Pablo Berger's non-verbal animated feature, "Robot Dreams," is a rather unexpected entry in this year's Oscar race. A movie that wasn't all that widely known until its surprise Oscar nomination over popular entries like TMNT, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Suzume, this decision has definitely sparked some conversation in certain film circles. I personally am happy with the decision to go with "Robot Dreams" as it clearly has been nominated for its merits rather than its popularity... which should always be the undeniable standard.

"Robot Dreams" is a well-crafted movie of simple ambitions, with a focus on themes of friendship, loneliness, and the passing of time. Helped tremendously by the animation medium, you get the feeling that the movie is extremely precise in its messaging and awareness - where the lack of dialogue and the vivid world it's set in are able to draw out our attention to focus on the conflict and emotions being communicated. The humor is multi-layered, and so is the story, appealing just as much to adults as it would to teenagers.

It might be a bit of a slow watch at first for those who aren't all that interested in watching a dog bonding with a robot, but if you can patiently buy into the movie, it manages to make you care about it in a very rewarding way.

"Robot Dreams" is a sweet, wordless animation film, about a dog and his robot. It is bright, funny, clever, bouncy and full of emotional twang. And yet it kinda misses the mark: kids.

Animation seldom works unless it crosses the child-adult border, ensuring an all ages viewing experience. Robot Dreams looks kid friendly, but it ain't. Not because of violence or complicated themes, but because the silliness on screen is kept to a minimum, or aimed at the adult heart (dancing to funk music).

The doggo and robot bond is a good one, but it starts to feel stretched over the duration. Several dream sequences, which work great at first, seem like filler after a while. Odes to classic Hollywood films are a wonderful touch, but who knows of Gene Kelly and Esther Williams? Not kids that's who.

A sweet film, beautifully rendered, with a great ending. Just not Saturday morning fare.
