It's a melancholy tale of loneliness and abandonment, how it's impossible to forget happy memories of when we were with someone who has gone, but even through it hurts, we must move on. Dog and Rascal are both boys. It's a 'bromance'; no strong female characters then.
I liked that many diverse cultures and different types of animal live in the city. The song 'September/do you remember' was well-chosen. It was well-drawn, and there were little visual jokes, that was nice. It's a great bit of visual storytelling, with dream sequences and surprises and a satisfying bittersweet ending. But I found the film was overlong.
There are plot holes. The New York beach isn't shut in winter for pedestrians, only for swimmers. Why doesn't Dog tell the policeman that he has left his property on the beach? Why did Dog wait so long to rescue his friend? Why would Robot work with just a radio inside? How can a robot eat pizza? Why did some animals trail their tails in the dirt?
I love animations and I've seen lots. There are plenty that I've liked more.
