Robot Dreams
Sometimes there’s beauty in simplicity, and Robot Dreams captures that beauty. Director Pablo Uranga’s first animated film about the friendship between a dog and a robot in 1984 New York is vibrant and alive. New York feels resurrected in this film, as every frame feels like it contains stories I’d want to watch. I found myself getting lost in the world Uranga captured, even before the story really kicked in. But when the story did start getting more real and their relationship was getting tested, I was aw over how honest and heart wrenching the film got. Couple that with a fantastic “September” needle drop, and Robot Dreams primes itself as the best animated film of the year.
