Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite a creative team and source material that should be any animation fan's fantasy, uneven craft and an inert story keep Little Nemo from being a proper dream come true.

Charles Solomon Los Angeles Times 03/07/2023
Decades later, this masterpiece of graphic imagination has been reduced to a long, drawn-out cartoon-adventure that suggests an overblown episode of a Saturday morning TV show. Go to Full Review
Betsy Sherman Boston Globe 03/07/2023
Although this new film adaptation of Winsor McCay's comic strip has been somewhat homogenized for modern tastes, both in visual style and in storyline, it's a refreshing, mostly marvelous piece of fantasy. Go to Full Review

2/4
Why is that animation can't seem to free itself from subtly racist coding? That objection aside, Little Nemo is an interesting if not a great film, with some jolly characters, some cheerful songs, and some visual surprises. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
It's a grand ride and it's well-handled by the filmmakers, headed by co-directors William T. Hurtz and Masami Hata. Go to Full Review

Mariana R Nov 29 I grew up watching this film. So many moments and lines from this movie are embedded in me. The movie has everything! Love this absolutely creative, fun, spooky, funny, exciting, gloomy cinematic adventure! Everyone should watch this at least one in their lifetime. See more Josh H @LazyZombie25 Nov 3 Adaptation of early 1900s comic strip has high-end 80s Japanimation and a Freudian-style story. Comparable to the best of early Disney. See more David R 10/06/2024 Animation style is reminiscent of Disney or Don Bluth films. Good attempt to match the old comic strip from Winsor McCay from the early 1900s in an animated format. Action sequences are great and so are dream world visuals and nightmare world character designs. However, the story seems a bit disjointed because the film was plagued by numerous screenplay rewrites and changes in production. Overall, it is worth a watch, but some nightmare sequences might be too scary for little children.

Still a favorable movie especially for its creativity and well done animation. The plot is a little bit of a mess but at least it picks up okay. Not perfect but still fun as if you were reading the comic strips if you grew up with those before this movie. It is fun for all ages, that's for sure. 7/10. See more 04/01/2021 Tiene una trama simple, pero la animación es muy llamativa y el estilo visual es excelente; una buena aventura de sueños.
