Robot Dreams

Thank the Lord for the film workers union who managed to wangle a good deal on working Bank Holidays. You either get paid more or you get the day off, a win in both cases but in this instance I got the day off to enjoy brunch with chums and a sleepy afternoon at home with Rebecca. It's a fairly big week coming up at work so it's great to get a little extra rest in before it all gets hectic. We watched Robot Dreams this evening - an effectively silent animated film which is just what the doctor ordered today. Just a straight up story about friendships and wrestling with lonelyness. No villains, no grandiose moments, just a lotta heart and plenty of animal related visual gags. A great family watch which should delight viewers of all ages.
