“In Your Dreams” is built around great swirling mounds of imagistic energy, yet it feels secondhand at its core.

It’s not up to [Pixar's] one-time standard, but it’s more engaging than the average streaming cartoon and a damn sight better than what Netflix gave us last year, the remarkably ugly Spellbound.

Rated: 3/5

On the heels of the visually arresting “KPop Demon Hunters,” it’s disappointing to see Netflix Animation throw its weight behind a project that embodies the worst tendencies of Hollywood’s post-handrawn era.

Rated: C

Beautifully taps into the power of imagination, creativity, and the magic of dreams but at its core, it’s a heartfelt story about the importance of family through life’s highs and lows. Baloney Tony is an icon

Rated: 3.5/5

It’s in the more family-focused scenes, both in the siblings’ sleep and in reality, that truly makes the film’s emotional tones work.

Rated: 4/5
