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

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

Flick Feast

Amusing and sad, avoiding all tweeness despite its potential oversentimentality, this heartwarming, engaging, and surprisingly complex animation is one of the best films of the year.

Rated: 4/5

Sweetly, deceptively simple, this affecting all-ages animated film speaks to the boon of friendship without saying a word.

Rated: 5/5

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.
