What it is about
Based on a graphic novel by Sara Varon, Goya-Award-winning director Pablo Berger’s first venture into animation is a colourful, vibrant and touching buddy drama. To escape solitude, Dog assembles Robot from a build-it-yourself kit. Setting off on a whimsical exploration of New York City, the new best friends develop an inseparable bond as they savour curbside hotdogs and roller-skate through Central Park. However, their friendship is abruptly brought to a halt when an accident leaves Robot stranded on a beach.
What to expect
Dog builds Robot from a kit, and the two explore a wordless, pastel New York — hotdogs, roller-skating, the works — until an accident leaves Robot immobilised on a beach. Pablo Berger’s first animation, adapted from Sara Varon’s graphic novel, tells the whole story without dialogue, relying on gesture, timing, and a keen sense of how friendships shift when circumstances change. The 103-minute runtime is paced for patience, and the emotional register sits closer to adult animation than to Saturday-morning cartoon. Rated I in Hong Kong, it is playing at two cinemas in two districts, with eight screenings over the next seven days. Tickets start at HK$100. No subtitles are provided, because there is no spoken language to translate.

What viewers said
Set in a New York City populated by animals with human traits, we meet a dog who lives a rather solitary existence. Addicted to microwavable mac 'n cheese, he catches a glimpse of a couple in the apartment block opposite and that makes him feel a little lonesome. A timely ad on the television, though, suggests he buy a robot pal. An huge great box duly arrives and a Meccano project that might have daunted Da Vinci ensues. Success! […]

In an age where the lines of what makes for a successful relationship have become increasingly blurred (and simultaneously more liberating), we’re seeing all manner of partnership combinations emerge that are just as valid as conventional models, no matter how different they may appear. And thank goodness for that, as evidenced by the profound connection depicted in this delightful animated feature from writer-director Pablo Berger. […]
