My 4 1/2 year old loves dogs and robots, so this should be a great film for him, right? Could not be more wrong.
For some reason the filmmakers thought we needed to meet a real dog with a loving family, and then kill it from being trapped in a hot attic. To quote Friends (1994), "What kind of a doggie snuff film is this?" My son was traumatized for the rest of the film. Never mind that the robot replacement saves the day, he had tears streaming down his face the rest of the film. Not sure why he wanted to watch the rest of the film, but he did. Parents BE AWARE of this film's pitfalls before you get involved.
