Why watch this film?
Making movies in Brazil is often an act of resistance. Producing a feature-length animation, then, is almost an impossible mission. Even so, director Nelson Botter Jr. and Tortuga Studios spent no less than ten years to make 'The Red Scroll', a film that, without space in theaters, ended up becoming the first Brazilian animated feature on Disney+. The result is a simple but still moving and engaging cartoon about a 13-year-old girl (Nina, with original voice by Any Gabrielly) who, with problems at home, finds a magical scroll and embarks on an adventure in a fantastic world. The story works as a great metaphor about maturity, bringing themes such as love, pain and life discoveries. It will certainly make pre-adolescent audiences identify with the plot, helping them face the difficulties of the world during and post-pandemic, with their sacrifices, losses and dilemmas.

Robot Dreams
Sometimes we get so carried away by the marketing power of studios like Disney Pixar, and we overlook other avenues for deep and powerful animated stories that don't need excessively complex plots to evoke emotions. Such is the case with Robot Dreams, a Hispanic-French production directed by Pablo Berger (2012’s Snow White), based on the eponymous graphic novel by Sara Varon. Set in New York during the 80s, the story follows Dog, whose solitary life leads him to buy a robot for companionship. Their friendship grows, but an unfortunate day at the beach forces them to separate and long for the day of their reunion. Virtually without dialogue, with vibrant animation and a captivating visual language, the film tells a simple yet profoundly moving story about (curiously) human relationships and the course they take despite (or because of) accidents, fortuitous circumstances, and uncontrollable events that happen throughout life.
