Critics Consensus

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

Read Critics Reviews

Tom Shone

Times (UK)

Adults, however, may get a Proustian rush from its evocation of 1980s body-popping, boombox-blaring, graffiti-strewn New York and lightly submerged gay subtext.

Rated: 3/5

Stephen Romei

The Australian

The dreams of the title – ones that show kindness and cruelty, love, loss and hope – are had by Dog and robot alike.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Nightly (AU)

The tender story about friendship and companionship is really more for adults who appreciate whimsy and charm than kids who need loud noises and fast editing.

Rated: 4.5/5

I loved this short. It really showed how love can develop and longing can be felt by all of us (and dogs and robots too) While the movie had sadness it also showed a joy that happens when you are with someone who gets you

7/10 muy buena, me gusta la facilidad que tiene para expresar las cosas más allá que tener que usar diálogos. Capta de forma real como ambas partes afrontan una separación y su proceso de superación o no superación. Recomendada para quienes no han aprendido a soltar a quienes ya los soltaron.
