Critics Consensus

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

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 is an animated film that both children and adults will enjoy. (…) Viewers will leave the theatre humming the film's recurring song, September. [Full Review in Spanish]

MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack)

Robot Dreams explores that sense of loneliness, but also the ways that friendships ebb and flow. The end left me breathless in the best way. Robot Dreams is a silent film, but it still has a lot to say.

Rated: 5/5

Beneath the guileful style of an all-ages adventure is a fable that breathes in life’s misfortunes and exhales a hopeful promise that there is a tomorrow.

Loved everything about it, the bittersweet ending is a plus! Waited a couple months for this to come out to the US, and it was so worth it!

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

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.
