Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland [DVD]

Based on the comics, this production directed by Japanese animators and the screenplay written in part by the director of "Home Alone" really brought good memories of when I first watched it in 1992. It came out the same year as Disney's "Aladdin". While "Little Nemo" is not as humorous and entertaining as "Aladdin", I found that this film was more engaging and I cared more for the characters. The storyline shares ideas from the comics and reminds me of "Alice in Wonderland". While Slumberland is not as strange and exotic like Wonderland, the setting still perfectly fits the storyline. The backgrounds I found impressive even today considering the advances in animation. The characters to me were well realized with some minor flaws (Icarus did irritate me in the beginning). And I forgot that the movie had songs, but they don't distract from the storyline and make you wait for the next number like "Aladdin"(While "Aladdin" was really good; the songs and Genie overwhelmed the story). I would recommend this if you really like "Fantasy-Adventure" based animation like "Spirited Away".

I distinctly remember watching this as a kid and then the vhs disappeared off the shelves (I think my mom didn't like it). But now, years later, I remembered pieces of it and went to Google with phrases like "kid flying bed animated" and "Santa looking king" And finally found it. I couldn't be happier with my copy, it is lacking subtitles and the extras are more aimed at little kids, but for a movie that it seems many people didn't know about, I think it's still a great purchase!

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter. I told her about it a while back, saying it was my favorite movie when I was a kid. She asked for it, and now absolutely loves it. It does have little spooky parts in it, but the morals are solid and it's such a cute movie.

Thank you for the video came early !! I cant wait for my kids to watch my favorite childhood movie thank u so much !!!!

I bought the DVD a while back when copies were still available and the quality of the DVD is decent but dated in comparison to what you see in DVDs today. The movie itself appeals to young children but carries a bit of a darker message so be aware. I never saw the original comic strip but heard it was excellent so I imagine this was a good adaptation. I personally enjoyed it as a child and bought it now because it brought back great memories. Being a fan of Miyazaki films, I thought this would go very well with them in my collection.My only problem now is that there are fewer copies available on DVD so you may have to try somewhere else to find a cheaper price. But in my opinion, it is definitely worth getting.

I first saw this movie when I was about 7 years old. It scared me shitless at the time. As I have aged I realized it was a true work of art. Maybe it's nostalgia kicking in, but nonetheless, it is a beautiful movie. I was so glad to be able to get it on DVD.

I remember watching this movie when I was little,and still find it to be an excellent movie now that I'm older. Definitely a movie I will have my children watch.

I ordered this weeks before Christmas, and now as of 1-20-2007, I still have not received my DVD. Wish I had never ordered though this company, and never will again!
