ROBOT DREAMS, Dear 1980s NYC

A few days ago I put ROBOT DREAMS thoroughly to the test by bringing Ariane, my youngest daughter, and her posse to the Barcelona premiere (thank you Eva Herrero Nieto !). They loved it, as did I. Ariane and I both shed a tear or two.

And for anyone who lived in NYC in the 1980s, a dollar a slice NYC, you’re in for a treat. The film is a pre 9/11 homage to the Big Apple like no other.

Director Pablo Berger hit a home run with this precious film gem. Robot Dreams is vintage by design, both in animation style and sound design, so might feel a tad slow at times, given our ever-shorter attention spans. But this is our shortcoming, not the film’s.

Based on the popular graphic novel by the North American writer Sara Varon, Robot Dreams tells the adventures and misfortunes of Dog and Robot in NYC during the ‘80s.?
