A cartoon dog and robot walking down the street holding hands.

A lonely dog builds a robot to be his best friend.

A beautiful movie that never goes where you expect it to. The animation is clean, un-showy and yet packed with detail and imagination. The story matches it precisely, characters are clearly defined, their motivations always explained plainly through the story.

And yet, it has no easy answers to the questions it poses. I was left with an ache in my heart, unsure just how happy the ending I’d just witnessed really was.

Funny, poignant and wonderful.
