BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Rich Drezen (Drezzilla) I just finished watching it and I enjoyed it a lot. The animation is superb for a non-Disney film (after all, Disney is pretty hard to top), the characters are very interesting, though some could have been developed just a little bit further. The music is pretty good, I mean, it's the Sherman Brothers! The only problem I have with this film is the dialogue, which at times is GOD AWFUL. With the other elements of this film such as the story, characters, art direction, being as strong as they are, I can forgive the poorly written dialogue. This was a co-production between the US & Japan after all, so there was bound to be problems with the translation (Godzilla movies anyone?). Of all the characters, I found Flip to be the best. Mickey Rooney was perfectly cast in the part. I don't know if he was involved during the film's original production or just for the US redub, but he brings a great deal of wit and charm to the character. Altogether, this is a great film and I recommend it very highly, especially for budding animators. There's a lot in this film to get inspiration from.
greg-glen "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland" is a joy and a wonder, just like the original Winsor McCay cartoons. For those ignorant of the history of American cartoons, McCay's "Little Nemo" series was a classic of naive pop surrealism exploring the adventures of a boy in the dream-world. McCay was sometimes deficient in spelling, but he was never deficient in drawing or imagination. Of course, the movie has to elide or telescope things a bit. After all, the original cartoon was a serial running episodically in newspapers. I find no serious fault with this. I took particular delight in how some scenes here meticulously mirrored the original cartoon. The animation is at various points dreamy, beautiful, dark, menacing and, of course, surreal. I think it is a mistake to view this film purely as a product of the anime industry - the film is instead a meeting of the Japanese culture with American culture. The merger of sensibilities here is quite wonderful. I loved the squirrel's petulant irritation at being called a "rat." And I loved the nightmare monster-heel. And, of course,the trickster figure, Pip. The whole thing has the quality of a twisting dream, sometimes good, sometimes bad, just like real dreams. Don't hesitate to buy and watch this.

propaul80 This movie was great when I was a very young child. I watched it all the time. Now that I revisit this film, I can't even believe how insane it is. This film is best enjoyed if you are high or drunk because thats what this movie makes you feel like. The way the creator of this movie created this film is very interesting. If you are a child, this film seems to be perfect as if there are no mistakes at all. Once you see the film again, you start to question how you could have ever liked it. If you are stoned this movie would be perfect for you. So if you are over the age of 5,don't watch this movie unless you are on acid or something along those lines :-).
abum190 My sister and I used to go to this daycare where we watched a movie a day. We watched a lot of movies more than once and this was one of them, because everyone loved it so much. About a month ago, I remembered so little about the movie that I thought I had dreamed about it (kinda ironic, don't you think?). Then I looked it up on IMDb and realized it was a real movie. I got it for my sister for Christmas and having just watched it, I'm glad I did.Nemo is a fun-loving boy who dreams that he goes to Slumberland, a magical kingdom that contains everything any kid would ever love. This place becomes a sort of reality for Nemo and he is entrusted as King Morpheus's heir and given a key to every door in the kingdom- however, he is asked to not open the door that has the key's symbol on it. Of course, he ends up opening it (with a little encouragement from a troublemaker named Flip) and the Nightmare King ends up kidnapping the king.The movie is not an intricate masterpiece storywise, but the plot and characters are so much fun it really doesn't matter! The real joy here is the animated backgrounds and effects- this movie is a visual stunner.
