Why watch this film?
It was in the 18th century that the book 'Gulliver's Travels' first hit the shelves. Written by Jonathan Swift, the children's novel became a landmark of the genre and crystallized the story of the man who arrives in the land of tiny people, the size of his thumb, in popular culture. Of course, over the last centuries, this story has been reinterpreted in various ways, just like the greatest and best-known fairy tales. In 'Gulliver Returns', a Ukrainian animation, filmmaker Ilya Maksimov imagines what the aftermath told in Swift's book would be like. Would Gulliver return to Lilliput? From there, the director plays with possibilities in a script that wants to humanize Gulliver and take away his fate as a giant - here, his size is just a metaphor for heroic feats. The animation is not meticulous and there are even evident technical problems. Nevertheless, the little ones should still have fun with this so traditional story being told from a new angle and with characters made to measure so that the very small children can have a connection with Gulliver's journey in tiny Lilliput.

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.
