Description: The Dream Collector tells the story of an old man and his playful dog to live together in a garbage dump, where they spend their days sorting through the trash left behind by others. The objects–a broken guitar, a torn baseball glove, a deflated soccer ball–are the remnants of people’s abandoned dreams. With his magic, the old man mending each piece of “garbage” and re-gift them to tell people to cherish their dreams.
Review: The Dream Collector is a 360° animated film in which we join someone who seems to collect and “fix” dreams. These are dreams of people who wanted to become something, so at the start we see an office worker wanting to become a musician. SO a broken guitar, a broken football and so forth. I have to give it to the developers, it looks amazing and is right up there with some of the best motion animations you would have seen before. Sure it only lasts for about 12 minutes but I feel it is well worth the money, but I understand that this is not a game and it won’t be for everyone.
