Aaron's Thoughts
Both irresistibly delightful & utterly heartbreaking all wrapped into 100 minutes.
Wouldn’t normally label myself as someone who would enjoy a silent animated film about a lonely dog who buys a robot, but Robot Dreams had me feeling like a kid again. The captivating animation, bright colors, and tremendous detail in every frame are enough to make you giddy whether young or old.
Anytime I rewatch one of the animated classics from my childhood, I often think to myself, “I can’t wait to show this to my kid someday” (if I am ever blessed to be in that place in life). Robot Dreams was the first animated film I have watched as an adult where I had that same thought upon my first watch. And the thought crossed my mind multiple times throughout the entirety of its runtime. Can’t think of a higher compliment than that.
