Robot always watched over Celeste, until she became a brilliant scientist and astronaut. When she leaves on an interstellar mission, Robot must face loneliness and the aging of its technological systems.
In the vastness of space, Celeste faces great dangers. As she struggles to overcome these obstacles, memories of her childhood resurface, lighting her way through the darkness.
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 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-days 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.
"The story of Space Cadet is told through the lens of guardian and child, technology and humankind, past and present. It touches on themes of connectivity and everyone’s innate power to evolve. Space Cadet is a celebration of love and life… the cycles of generations and the bonds that connect us." — Kid Koala
