Robot and Dog in the subway in Robot Dreams
The Big Picture When it comes to animated stories of seemingly unlikely friends bonding, consider writer-director Pablo Berger’s Robot Dreams to now be up there alongside outstanding films like The Iron Giant. The difference is that the machine with a heart of gold in this story is not some towering figure that crashes to Earth. No, he is much more of a little fellow who is procured through the mail by the lonely Dog who is living in 1980’s New York.
Robot Dreams Not RatedAnimationDramaFamily "Robot Dreams" follows the journey of Dog and the robot he buys to combat his loneliness. Together, they share many adventures and develop a deep connection. Their friendship faces a significant challenge when an unforeseen incident forces them apart. As Robot experiences dreams and emotions, the narrative examines the evolving relationship between the two.
Specifically, one day while visiting the beach, Robot is suddenly no longer able to get up. Despite the best efforts of Dog to carry him, he abandons his friend. Left alone, he begins to further rust and decay under the harsh elements of the months when the beach is closed. While initially this risks feeling contrived and without emotional foundation , the fact that multiple attempts are made to rescue him makes clear that this is about the broader ideas of friendship and connection.
