I love animated movies, and I wanted to support these films by owning physical copies.
All four have received great reviews, and I think European animation deserves more recognition. I’ve only watched the first two so far and really like them, excited to watch the other two.
Robot Dreams is so depressing and unnecessarily cruel that I wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe things pick up by the end, but I couldn’t make it through it.
I loved the movie but you definitely need to be prepared for it. Don’t watch it if you are feeling down already
Does the ending make it worth it? I watched it on a plane and bailed after I saw enough abuse at the beach, but could be tempted to give it another try if the ending at least provides some decent closure or meaning to the story.
It has meaning and closure, yes. It’s not a traditional happy ending tho
I’ve already seen Steven Spielberg’s A.I.; that was already enough unnecessarily-cruel-dystopia-involving-robots for me as-is. I already had my fill with that film and don’t need anymore of it.
Thanks for the warning.
whoever mado Rango though, that was pure genius
Flow is beauuuuutiful!
Yo ARCO was fantastic. I’ve been recommending it to everyone since I saw it.
Okay but why’d they name the film after a gas station?
Because it’s fuel for your soul, man.
Fuel for your Soul
Hope you have Mars Express (2023) as well
I came here to recommend it.
It’s not only a great animated movie, it’s also one of the few movies that do scifi right, i.e. most of the plot can only work in that exact scifi setting, and even many of the actions scenes can only work in that setting.
I heard about it, but i havent watched it yet. It seems very good, i will give it a try soon
Flow was sublime.
Flow already in my wishlist, adding the other three, thanks for the tip!
I didnt know an instance like this existed, pretty interesting and completed
I never got into Letterboxd, Goodreads etc but when I discovered NeoDB (eggplant.place is the bleeding edge instance of NeoDB), I was really glad I did.
A bit more info on NeoDB:

Saw arco at my indie theater, an excellent movie!
I saw it too, it was the last day of the movie and i was practically alone. A magical experience
Those all look like good films. Definitely gonna have to check them out!
