Spanish director Pablo Berger delivers a rich and emotionally engaging animation about friendship, set in a bustling 1980s New York City.
Dog is lonely so decides to buy himself a new companion in the shape of Robot, delivered in parts for home assembly but soon lovingly transformed into a fully functioning friend. Adapted from Sara Varon’s graphic novel, Berger’s (Blancanieves, Abracadabra) gorgeous, colourful and sharply humorous film, with its nods to silent cinema, offers insightful reflections on the pleasures of camaraderie.
