A bored and lonely dog (here, all humans are replaced by animals) buys a robot to be his friend in this glorious animated film, and they go on small adventures both together and separately and discover the joy in the little things in everyday life, until they become unfortunately separated and life moves on. Dialogue-free, this silent-movie-style cartoon has the engagingly endearing feel of Chaplin/Tati meets Aardman, with its colourful and simply-drawn animation style, quirky observations and ideas and its attention to detail. Its core message about modern day isolation and the power of reaching out and change may be familiar, but the way it is told here is utterly sweet and endearing in a very entertaining manner.
