In the East Village of the 1980s, Dog was living a very solitary and lonely apartment existence... and he decided to make a friend, literally, when he mail-ordered and assembled an automaton companion called Robot. The quick and powerful bond they forge will be tested after a very fateful trip to the beach, in writer-director Pablo Berger's animated, dialogue-free, period-rich, and wholly charming tale that landed a Best Animated Feature Academy Award nomination. 103 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
