This is the winner of the Hidden Gem Award! Each year, I select a film that I would never had heard of if not for its Oscars nomination that I end up loving. What a sweet, lovely, adorable film that says so much without a single line of dialogue.
Dog (that is his name) is lonely and he orders a robot to become his friend. Robot arrives and the two build a beautiful friendship with fun, activities, and even just the beautiful opportunity to hold someone's hand when they walk down the street. One day, they go to the beach and have a fantastic day, when the robot seizes up and cannot be moved for love or money. Dog races home to get his toolkit, only to discover that the beach has been closed and locked up with no access until the following June! Robot has dreams of reuniting with Dog while he waits on the sand. Meanwhile, Dog finds a new robot friend though his first robot remains on his mind. Without giving away the ending, I can't recommend Robot Dreams enough. It's a testament to the power of friendship and how vital it is not to be lonely. It's worth it!
