Dreambuilders - La fabbrica dei sogni

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!

I really enjoy when movies are better than what I expected, and this movie seemed a lot more silly, and ended up being a tale about broken people who are being mean because of their traumas learning to emphitize with the other, and also, Minna falls into one of the greatest mistakes a human can have: trying to change someone else, it's clear that her attempts didn't fully worked, and she went from zero to psycho in a matter of hours because of this idea, and the movie clearly tells you that this is not correct, however, I don't like that the movie didn't point out how John is bad father for not supporting or listening to his daughter instead of just telling her to put on a "happy hat" after changing her whole life by bringing an uneducated girl who can't seem to conceal stuff, not even leaving a bed.

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.

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.

"Drømmebyggerne" is a bored film with a slow script and a cheap story, it could be better. The animation is fine, some scenes are nice but there is no more to talk about this film.
