I put Robot Dreams on thinking it’ll just be nice in the background but for a simple animated film with no dialogue or a particularly complex plot, I can’t believe how moved I was by the end. The yearning feeling of loneliness and hope really got to me. It’s got such a lovely old fashioned feel to it. I think some of you will like it

Just glanced at the synopsis and I think it just reiterates to me how weird I am with things robot related. Big Hero 6 wrecked me, the family dog and https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/08/13/please-do-not-switch-me-off-an-experiment-with-begging-robot-shows-people-hesitate-pull-plug/.

Yep, emo checking in.

  Oh boy, even without the personal robot/dog connection the movie hits haaaard if you’re feeling emo and lonely and wistful about friendships and connection. I would definitely be in tears if I had those soft spots

  I think you’ll enjoy it. Even if it’s simplistic

    I looked at the trailer, it looks really sweet. :🐶🤖🩷

    Sweet but not saccharine, a couple of scenes unexpectedly broke my heart (still a great ending but tugged at the heartstrings)
