Why watch this film?
The Locksmith Animation is a newcomer to the world of animation: 'Ron's Gone Wrong' is the studio's first feature-length film. However, if you didn't know this information, you would never guess. After all, this movie does not fall short in terms of quality compared to productions from competitors such as Illumination (from the 'Despicable Me' franchise), Sony Pictures Animation ('Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs') or even DreamWorks ('Madagascar') - although it lacks the subtlety of Pixar productions (famous for 'Toy Story'). The plot of the movie is well thought out, about a boy, Barney, who sees all his classmates enchanted by a new toy, a robot called B-bot. Suffering from bullying for not fitting into the standards of other children and without friends, Barney does everything to win the toy, until he succeeds. However, Ron, Barney's B-bot, is defective, putting the two in various confusions. Thus, the animation touches on themes such as the excessive dependence of children on the cell phone (the main toy of the movie is a metaphor for smartphones), the need to fit into patterns determined by society, the value of family and friendship, the lack of privacy on social networks, the greed of large corporations and, of course, bullying and cyberbullying. With so many topics to address, there is a feeling that 'Ron's Gone Wrong' tries to embrace many causes at once and, therefore, disperses its messages. In any case, it is a great movie to watch with family and then discuss with the little ones about the themes seen. After all, this is one of those movies that can make us better people after watching (and reflecting) what is on the screen.

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.
