Film: Robot Dreams
Cast: Ivan Labanda, Tito Trifol, Rafa Calvo, José García Tos, José Luis Mediavilla, Graciela Molina, Esther Solans
Director: Pablo Berger
Rating: 3/5
Runtime: 102 min.

Spanish Director Pablo Berger’s 2D animation film based on the graphic novel by Sara Varon, has a very simple and evocative premise. Being alone is bad. Having a friend is good. That’s the essence of it. The undercurrent of loneliness and the melancholy underpinning this work is powerfully real.

Set in the Big Apple of the ’80s, the New York skyscape of the pre-26/11 times, feels familiar enough but the inhabitants are different. The city is home to millions of anthropomorphized, bipedal animal residents going about their daily lives within the sight of the Twin Towers.
