Critics Consensus

As heartbreaking as it is heartwarming, Robot Dreams is the stuff good animation is made of.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

It is a really, really moving film about loneliness, and overcoming loneliness...

Detroit News

"Robot Dreams" is a lovingly rendered and deceptively simple animated tale that is bursting with soul and spirit and informed by the crushing pangs of loss.

Rated: A

Robot Dreams certainly is a gem hidden among all the bigger animation studios... but its one that stands on for its style, story and unconventional approach to those more complex situations we can find ourselves in.

Robot Dreams nimbly navigates within the slice of the Venn diagram where sad and funny intersect, and does so exquisitely.

Film Freak Central

Dog speaks directly to the soul of melancholia. It occurred to me that this film is the perfect analogue to Spike Jonze's Her, about another sensitive, isolated soul who only ever manages to make a true connection with an intelligence he cultivates...

Rated: 4/4

Very cute, wholesome, and emotional. It was cool to see expressive characters could be in a film without dialogue

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed the colors and the detail of animation. There was so much to see and experience. The sound and music were great too! They had the robot, and the dreams, just like it says in the title.
