Mr. Hublot lives in a world where everything is mechanical — including pets. It’s a universe where the giant scale of machines and the relentless use of salvaged materials reign supreme. Mr. Hublot, a withdrawn, idiosyncratic character with OCD, must break out of his shell when a robot dog is left abandoned on the curb outside the place where he lives. The film won the 2014 Academy Award for best animation. Written, produced and directed by Laurent Witz.
