PleaseA dog and a robot romp around New York in the 1980s in this animated comedy. Come in for 10am for our free pre-film workshop! 

Dog lives in Manhattan and he’s tired of being alone. One day he decides to build himself a robot, a companion. Their friendship blossoms, until they become inseparable, to the rhythm of 80’s NYC. 

One summer night, Dog, with great sadness, is forced to abandon Robot at the beach. Will they ever meet again? 

We’re delighted that following the film, Maxine and her dog Walter, from the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, will be visiting the cinema to chat more about what Hearing Dogs do, how they keep healthy and why they’re so important. Check out their website for more information here.
