La Petite Nemo et le Monde des rêves

Truly a piece of art.

There are so many negative reviews and I'm seriously wondering who these philistines are???

Highly recommended to this movie for anyone over 10 years old, as some of the nuances need a little more maturity.

Other than that, I can safely say I had a great time watching it, as like with any onion, layers keep being peeled away as the movie progresses and there is never a boring moment in this masterpiece.

So tag along for the ride and it will be a roller coaster , not only visually, but also emotionally too. It brings you up, down, turns you all around.

So enjoy!

Nuff said.

DK out.

Well, the credits are rolling and I'm wiping away my tears. What a film! You know how Pixar do kids films but they gut you if you're an adult? Slumberland just did that to me.

The energy of this film is of those best Pixar bittersweet moments, the feel is dreamlike hyper-reality like Babe or the even weirder sequel, Pig In The City. Or Happy Feet's opera sequence. Indeed, I had to check this wasn't written/directed by the Mad Max don, it's so similar in raw peculiarity.

This is a film meant for kids that outshines allegedly adult fare in its acting performances, writing and direction. It is Paddington good and I don't say that lightly.

Slumberland could have coasted by and I would have been fine with that. The fact that it tries to connect, that it gives so much is why it has to be an 8/10

The only warning I would give is for adults watching this: if you've been through recent heavy familial trauma, you might want to give it a miss.

This is not my first rodeo and not my first film review. So I will tell you straight up. I watched Slumberland right after I watched Disenchanted 2022, Disney's attempt to re-awaken (!) one of their most successful franchises. During Disenchanted, I was so bored I started making a list of all the ways the film had failed to meet the standards of the original, yet alone improve on them, until I finally gave up. Slumberland, on the other hand, hooked me from the getgo with a simple story, well told, and loads of cool CGI. The film worked for me. Only after watching did I read the mainstream reviews, and discovered to my surpise that the mainstream critics felt Slumberland lacked an emotional connection. When precisely did our world become so cynical and lacking in hope that a story about an 11 year old who loses her father ... becomes lacking in emotion?? Riddle me that if you can. A solid film, well done. Recommended. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

I have come to realize that if one is making a movie for families it will never get high enough rating, that's a given. Frankly, People who only watch and love Noah Baumbach and Terrence Malick movies should not expect similar experience from Slumberland. This limits the movie's reach to people who would have otherwise experienced it and loved it. I gave it a well deserved 8 since it is very well made but it is no The Return of the King. Not as much layered as some would want it to be but, come on, it made for viewing as a family which includes kids as young as 8 years old (my family) it indeed is competently handled by Francis Lawrence. A simple story with a lot of heart. Cool CGI and imaginative set pieces along with amazing performance across the board do help. I wasn't expecting it to be so good, just wanted to have a good time with my kids but was completely drawn in. This is a perfect one for holidays. Give it a go and you won't be disappointed.

I didn't know this movie was out. I was pleasantly surprised. I watched it with the family (two daughters, 11 and 13) and what fun this movie is. It's funny, looks amazing, decent acting, really good story. We were captivated from start to end. A must see if you have kids! This is the best family movie out there at the moment.

Jason Momoa was a surprise as well. Good to see him in a different role. He was entertaining.

Story is about a girl who lost her dad and tries to find him in her dreams. That sounds lame, but don't let that fool you. The movie is really entertaining from start to finish.
