Sueños S.A.

Teen learns lucid dreaming and with help from machine elves hypnotizes family members, terrifying concept when you think about it, i kinda liked it, could have gone deeper though it's almost coraline in ways too.

Dreambuilders is a very nice and relevant family movie. The plot is covering important issues regarding modern family constructions. It is both a beautiful and sad story. The animation is high quality for a Danish production.

The film DreamBuilders is a very creative movie. It is very whimsical and bright and takes you on a fun adventure behind the scenes of our dreams!

The plot of this film takes in the concept of modern family issues. When Minna's (Emilie Koppel) life is turned upside down upon the arrival of her new stepmom Helene (Ditte Hansen ) and mean daughter Jenny (Caroline Vedal). Minna is able to find the backstage to her dreams and tries to sabotage Jenny's dreams to stop her from ruining her life. When a dream creation goes wrong, Minna finds herself and her dream worker friend Gaff (Martin Buch) helping to bring back Jenny.

Throughout the animated movie each scene is colorful and bright. The set designs are so whimsical and creative. I love each design and the idea of our dreams. The dreams are created for each person with actors, sets and scripts. There is a whole new world behind the backstage of dreams. The ideas are super fun. My favorite part of the movie is when Minna finds this hidden world. Each character is very unique and has a certain style that makes them different. The storyline is also quite sad because it addresses family issues. The hardship between the two families eventually wears off until they all learn to love each other. There is beautiful background music playing throughout the film. The songs all have a story behind them relating back to the scenes in the movie. The movie did become a bit predictable at times, but it is still original, entertaining and worth watching.

The message is to be careful what you wish for. Minna wants a specific life with just her dad. When others show up, she is unsure and does not take into account the sadness and harm she would bring to her family by messing with others' dreams. You should know that this film includes a sensitive topic of families.

I give DreamBuilders 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 7 to 13. Reviewed by Avery P., KIDS FIRST!

For a kids movie this may seem to have quite the scary things inside. But I do think they can handle this. Maybe not those who have Arachnophobia (fear of spiders, the unnatural quite heightened one) - but everyone else should be ok. And the story could actually be from a Pixar movie. I was positively surprised by that to say the least.

The animation of course is not up to that task, but that should not be too much of a bother. I really loved it - not sure how the dubbed versions of this work. I imagine that most will watch this in their native language dubbed - and that probably isn't the original audio track. So I can't really give you any insight on that side of the movie - but the heart of it (the story) is really one that is well thought of! The characters are also very nicely drawn ... even our main character has her flaws. And its nice to see female/girl characters getting their time to shine - without it being too much of a story "thing"!

It was wonderful to see a Danish animated movie, that was at least kind of ambitious. It's beautifully animated, adn the score is great. The story is kind of cliché though, and the only imaginative plot points, seems to have been taken directly from Pixars "Inside Out". Over all an OK experience, that is well suited for the 7-12 year olds.
