The theme is identical to inside out movie but the story is different. Good concept. Nice animation and the climax of the movie is satisfying.
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.
The animation is good. Not as good as a todays Pixar or Dreamworks movie but pretty damn good for a Danish production whose budget is definitely much lower.
Major flaws are in facial expressions and in body movements. Ok, they are portraying Danish folks and as that you cannot expect Mediterranean expressions so this is not much of a problem (ok, I am joking but I am allowed to say that 'cause I lived 3 yy in Copenhagen and I love Danskerne).
As for the story it is a revisitation of something already seen but in a very different flavor. The idea could be something a Monster & Co but the development is totally new, to my knowledge.
1 star more than actually deserved because of the effort and the result totally lacking the unbearable attitude of todays American Studios, full of politically correct garbage and hidden (actually not so hidden) ideological inputs (see the fact that it is NOW impossible to have white characters even if the animation movie is set in France during Middle Age, see the very last Live Action Beauty and the beast).

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.
