Set in the vibrant 1980s NYC, Robot Dreams, an animated feature by NEON, presents an imaginative world inhabited solely by pigs, birds, cats, and other animal clans. Dog, a lonely character, leads a solitary life, eating TV dinners in his East Village walkup. The turning point comes when he spots an infomercial for a robot-building kit, which sparks the idea of creating the perfect city buddy.

As Dog and Robot explore the city together, they share memorable moments, such as eating hot dogs on 5th Avenue, roller skating in Central Park, and visiting Coney Island to the rhythm of Earth, Wind & Fire's “September.” However, their bond is put to the test when Robot is stranded at the beach, leaving Dog helpless to save him. The separation that follows marks a transformative period for both characters, as they navigate the challenges of friendship and loss.
Robot Dreams has enjoyed a successful awards presence, earning nominations for five Annie Awards and winning Best Independent Feature. Its impact at the 2024 Goya Awards included wins for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Animated Film, and Best Animated Film at the European Film Awards. The film concluded its awards run with a nomination at the 96th Academy Awards, solidifying its place as a must-see animated feature.
