He’s the guardian robot programmed to protect the sweetest astronaut on this (or any) planet. But when she blasts off on a solo mission of outer space adventure, he’s left to wonder… what now?
Space Cadet is a poignant, music-filled tale about memories and the bonds that connect us. Based on Kid Koala’s award-winning graphic novel, Space Cadet is a tomorrow-day lullaby about finding your place in the universe.
The dialogue-free animated film is complete with an original score by Kid Koala, original songs by Karen O and Mariana “Ladybug” Vieira, and songs featuring vocalists Emilíana Torrini, Martha Wainwright, Meaghan Smith, and Trixie Whitley.
Robot, a first-generation Guardianbot, has raised Celeste to become a brilliant astronaut. As she leaves for her first solo mission, he is left behind on Earth. As each day passes, loneliness begins to affect him, wearing down his aging technological systems. Struggling to keep up with the modern world, Robot finds solace in revisiting memories of the happy and humorous times he spent with Celeste.
Meanwhile, in the vastness of outer space, Celeste’s adventure is full of marvelous scientific discoveries until unexpected dangers leave her stranded on a distant planet. As she fights to overcome these new obstacles and escape the treacherous terrain, childhood memories light her way. Finally, it will take courage, love, and her own engineering ingenuity to find a way back home.
