Based on the classic Nemo comic strips by Winsor McCay. A pioneer of animation, McCay created the first Little Nemo animated movie in 1911.
Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata were attached to this project at first, but left due to "creative differences." Ray Bradbury is also thought to have left the project in its earlier stages.
Little Nemo - Adventures in Slumberland is the first Japanese anime to receive a national (wide) U.S. theatrical release.

Flowy artwork and enjoyable storyline along with amazing characters make this movie worth watching. I watched it when I was a toddler and grew up loving it. Nemo is a boy plagued by nightmares and when the circus comes to town, he's taken off to Slumberland. There he meets the princess, King Morpheus, and many more friends that bring this adventure to a wonderful climax. If you liked Spirited away, you'll love Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. It's based off of a 50's comic strip by the same name. Very underappreciated and underexposed, but well worth watching.

Magical and exciting, this classic will keep you entertained. After watching this movie once when I was little I immediately found myself hooked! I still watch it 10 years later! It's just so full of adventure, comedy, and sad moments. The plot, characters, scenery, && music are illustrated && played out very well. It's probably the most unique && original work of art you will ever come across next to Miyuzaki's 'Spirited Away' and 'Howl's Moving Castle'. I would recommened this to just about anyone who shares a love for imagination. This is deffinately worthy of the title 'classic'.

Overview: Time to look at a genre that I have completely neglected in my previous reviews. The world of anime children's movies! What better place to start then with Little Nemo, the first anime movie ever to see widespread theatrical release in the United States? This was 1992, so I was only 4 when this came out in theaters and it...was an experience. I remember that much from my first viewing, but I didn't re-watch this film until recently. Background: Although released stateside in 1992, Little Nemo was actually made in 1989. I mention this because it was an odd period for kids movies. This was the 1980s,right before the "Disney Renaissance" of bright, cheerful, musical kid's movies. The 1980s was a time when nearly ALL the kids movies tried to be dark, daring, and really push the envelope. Sometimes this resulted in masterpieces like The Neverending Story from West Germany, Miyazaki's Nausicca, and America's Secret of Nimh. Other times this attempt to be "dark and edgy" led to nothing but batshit insanity with nightmare fuel imagery for no reason, exemplified by films like The Brave Little Toaster. Little Nemo...is much more Toaster than Nausicca.
Plot: 5/10
The plot is very loosely based on a 1905 American comic about a boy that falls asleep and has adventures in dreamland. He must help Morpheus the king of dreamland defeat the evil king of the nightmare world. At least the fact that he IS dreaming explains the very surrealist imagery, along with all the scenes young children would find disturbing. He is in the nightmare world after all, unlike Toaster where twisted, freaky shit just happens at complete random! In the end, Nemo defeats the Nightmare King, realizes it was all a dream (the cliche' award goes to...) and goes to the circus with his family. There really isn't much to say about the plot because Nemo is a purely visual experience. Unlike the 3 masterpiece children's films I mentioned above, Nemo doesn't really tackle complex issues or themes. It doesn't have a deep message with layers of symbolism for adults to enjoy like Nausicca or Neverending Story. It is an interesting little visual experience, but not really much else.
Characters: 3/10
The characters in this movie are honestly really bland. Nemo himself is a very 2D character and the most memorable character is an obnoxious clown played by Japan's favorite comedian Mickey Roony! At least he isn't dressed up in "yellow face" in this movie. Instead the clown is drawn with what looks suspiciously like "black face" because that's...better?
Sound: 5/10
It has a kind of catchy opening theme, but it is VERY misleading since it is so cheerful and light, yet this movie is mostly not.
Overall: 5/10
Little Nemo was a box office disaster losing over 30 million dollars, which was a big deal in 1992. The film was critically panned by Roger Ebert, and most of the other elite American film critics of that time. Honestly, I don't blame them. The art and animation was good at times, but that is really the only thing positive I have to say about this movie. I have met a few other people my age that actually liked this POS, but then again my generation liked Space Jam. Overall, I wouldn't really bother seeing Little Nemo unless you are very interested in anime history or just morbidly curious.

I actually seen this baby nearly 20 years ago when I was a kid. But due to how little I could recall of Little Nemo, I never got around to writing a proper review for it until I got a copy of the film just recently to cover. A little known fact about this film to many folks is that Little Nemo was made as an attempted collaboration between American and Japanese animation studios planned during the early 1980s. However, differences in the creative direction of the film led to enough disputes between both sides that it took years before the film finally got a theatricalrelease, which shows rather prominently in how the animation and plot to this are laid out. The look and feel for both are very Western-influenced as Little Nemo looks almost like a Disney film with its character designs and scenery, while sporting fluid movements and animated sequences. For an 80s anime, Little Nemo is easily among one of the better-looking animated films I've seen from the decade, being on par with Studio Ghibli films made during the time.
In terms of its plot and characters though, Little Nemo is rather underwhelming in both departments if you're not this baby's intended target audience of younger children. The cast mostly fill simple character types related to Western animated films and the plot's rather haphazard pace limit any world-building or character exploration that could have been utilized. The plot for it also milks a number of storytelling cliches that never get explored as Nemo is the "chosen one" to be Slumberland's prince, a typical good vs evil conflict involving the Nightmare King in the movie's later half, a number of the Slumberland residents looking like those part of the circus troupe he encountered at the start of the film and an attempt at incorporating some sort of moral related to Nemo's adventure. Pretty much, the film's intent is to keep its plot and characters as simple as possible for its target audience while anyone older may keep wondering why certain stuff to it is never explored.
Little Nemo also has its sloppy points in its writing. The later third of the movie features a couple points where Nemo is in some sort of hostile situation, yet he "wakes up" away from it only to discover he is still dreaming. The "wake up" bits function as a sort of deus ex machina to get Nemo out of trouble and seemed rather lazy in execution. The film's attempt at a moral is also rather questionable as it tries connecting a rather mundane incident that Nemo is involved with at the start of the film to later events in it when Nemo unintentionally triggers the threat of the Nightmare King for the film's second half. However, the events leading up to the moral being utilized are rather idiotic as a certain character was dumb enough to entrust the safety of his entire kingdom to Nemo (and not warning him of the danger in question) and our lead gets rather easily duped into triggering said events.
Overall, Little Nemo is mostly fare for younger children as its plot and characters are way too simple to appeal to older audiences in the same vain that many Studio Ghibli films are. I might have been in awe of the movie as a kid. But being older, it really loses its appeal when you begin to question the "whys" to it.

“Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland” is a unique animation. Released in 1989, it was a joint American-Japanese production based on an American comic strip by Winsor McCay (cool name!) that originally ran from 1905 to 1914. It went through insane development hell throughout the 80's. A small sampling of companies and names attached to the project before leaving include Disney, Lucasfilm, Warner Bros., Studio Ghibli, George Lucas, Chuck Jones, Ray Bradbury, Brad Bird, and Hayao Miyazaki! Why am I mentioning all this? Because its troubled production is evident in the final result, and likely kept it from being an all-time classic. The story is about a youngboy, Nemo, who sees a traveling circus perform and then has recurring dreams of being whisked away to the magical kingdom of Slumberland, which has a strong circus aesthetic. Eventually, Slumberland and its ruler King Morpheus are menaced by Nightmare Land, and Nemo has to save the day.
There are a number of strong aspects to the picture. The circus and clown aesthetic is done very well. It's cheerful, colorful, and somehow appropriate for a kingdom of dreams, without ever becoming garish or ridiculous. Nemo playing and enjoying himself in Morpheus' court with his pet squirrel Icarus and Princess Camille is pleasant, at times evoking the fun and innocence of early childhood.
However, the film's strongest element is its imagery. The opening sequence, where Nemo travels on his bed to a dark, haunted, dilapidated city, is outstanding and the most memorable part of the entire picture. I also love that twice, when Nemo becomes overwhelmed by circumstances, he suddenly wakes up in his own bed, and has to find a way back to the dream realm. It's disorienting in a good way, conveying the surreal, ephemeral nature of his adventures. And that in turn gives it a genuine dream-like quality. After all, one frequently accepts all manner of incredible events in his dreams without questioning them, and often wakes up right at the climax.
Alas, all this is in service to a very mediocre, uninspired story! Nemo is given a key by King Morpheus whose only purpose is unlocking a door containing great evil. Why would the king possibly give Nemo this key, if it can only do harm? Why even have such a key at all, since it risks his entire kingdom? I'll explain why. Because it's a deus ex machina plot contrivance, the writers couldn't be bothered with anything more logical and creative, and they hoped the kids watching wouldn't care.
What follows is, aside from the two interludes mentioned above where Nemo wakes up in his bed, a very basic 80's fantasy quest. They encounter few, if any obstacles, a new set of allies who aren't interesting or do much, and have two fights against the forces of darkness, including a very lackluster final battle.
So essentially, we have a very average core film decorated with some amazing bells and whistles. In a better world, we would have a far better story to match its secondary features, forging an all-time classic.
As it is, “Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland” is a decent, if flawed curiosity.

I first read about Little Nemo comic strips in a comic journal that I used to buy before it went bankrupt. I read there that the Little Nemo comic strips in the beginning of the twentieth century went to be highly influential with most comic authors that came afterwards, Disney being one of those. Little Nemo does have something American and occidental in it, but it is an entirely Japanese production, but it certainly doesn’t seems like that, it sure looks more like a Disney or other occidental production. The character designs, as well as everything else in the animation, backgrounds, story, screams Disney. Some triviaregarding the pre-production of this movie is that Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata were to pick this in the beginning, unfortunately they never got to work on it, I wonder how it would have turned if they remained in charge here.
Here's a brief description on the story.
The story starts with a boy named Nemo and his weasel friend. Somehow Nemo is chosen to be the sole heir of Slumberland, so Little Nemo goes from his home back in NY to Slumberland without thinking twice. He is to learn on how to be a prince and everything that involves being a prince. But the king only asks Nemo to promise him one thing, the King gives Nemo the master key that opens every door in the castle to little Nemo and only makes him promise not to open the door which has the same symbol as the key, the forbidden door. While roaming through the castle, Nemo gets to know a little weird and malicious character, which incites him to run away from his lessons on how being a prince and later while escaping the guards in their fun, incites Nemo to open the forbidden door they that they had found… The rest, you can easily guess asthe story develops in a rather simplistic way.
The story was done thinking on an younger audience and it does have a simple story very easy to get without major plot turns for a easy understanding. But the good animation makes it for the simplicity of the story, even I get the feeling that I would like to watch this at a tender age.
While being a Japanese movie and being often referenced to Ghibli lovers, Little Nemo is by far a innocent view without any conscious and adult meaning in it. Ghibli recommendations, would probably be Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro for their both innocence.
Unfortunately, the file that I got was a dubbed old file, so my enjoyment could have been greater. The English voices sounded too much higher than the other background sounds and the usual music. But still I could notice that they were good voices and did fit each character well. It's a pity that I didn't get to hear the background music in all it's glory, I'll wait for a proper DVD release in the future.
Rate: 6/10 - A nice movie, but not really necessary to most folks. Only recommended if you're really into childrens animated movies.

"Little Nemo" is one of those movies where the backstory on it's creation is more famous (and probably more entertaining) than the movie itself. With such a tumultuous creative process from beginning to finished product, this film often gets a reputation for being such a train wreck. After watching it, I think it's not quite the demon from development Hell most make it out to be. To start with the animation itself, it's actually pretty darn good for the late 1980s. It's smooth, colorful, with some neat characters (special mention to the absolutely terrifying Nightmare King). It resembles a Disney film in a lot of wayswith a realistic Japanese art style. The story is nothing special. Kid goes on a magical journey through a fantasy world where he overcomes his fears to save the day and learns many valuable lessons. Blah, blah, blah...
I have only seen the English version of this whose cast features a few names you might recognize. Veteran child actor (kind of an oxymoron, I know) Gabriel Damon in the lead as Nemo, plus the legendary Mickey Rooney, and Rene Auberjonois of "Star Trek: DS9" fame. Decent job by everyone overall, but playing characters that are mediocre at best.
This is a kids movie, pure and simple. And from that genre and target audience the film does pretty well. But, when you read the backstory (and I encourage you to) and watch it you start to catch glimpses here and there of what could have been rather than what it is. What it is is a halfway decent kids movie. What could it have been...? Well, the answer to that question is something we can only dream about. Fitting I suppose for this movie. Cheers!

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland is like a flash fusion between Disney's Fantasia, Peter Pan, and Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal. Many people watched this during their childhood, but I did not. I watched it for the first time a few weeks ago, and am completely fresh to the material. And boy, is it a gorgeous film, the landscape design, the animation, the score! The visuals are very pulchritudinous, but do the characters and story live up to this elusively complex, visual spectacle? Let's find out! ⚠️ This review for Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland will have spoilers ⚠️ —Story/Characters The story incorporates elements of both storybookdreamlands and Greek mythology. Probably the weakest link of the story is how transparent the plot is, as soon as King Morpheus gave Nemo the key, there was a voice in my head that screamed, "That little boy is going to mess everything up, isn't he?" The iteration of Morpheus in Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland resembles the description of the god in Ovid's Metamorphoses, with his ability to manifest into a human form, rather than simply being a formless entity. From his first appearance, to the irresponsibility he displays at the gala (after Nemo and Flip unleash the wrath of The Nightmare King), the mighty ruler is simply written off as an old oaf.
I give Little Nemo the same benefit of the doubt as I give other children's films, but it does seem odd that a king, the ruler of all sleep and dreams, would entrust a little boy with the power of an entire dimension and leave him alone with his only daughter, Princess Camille, after barely knowing him. It's similar to openness of Mufasa's trust towards the insidious Scar in The Lion King, except Scar was actually Mufasa's brother and not some random kid from another world. Nemo's decision-making was similar to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter—the protagonist makes the worst decisions imaginable, as a device to progress the plot forward.
Princess Camille exists to put the buffoonish men in their place, but her stubbornness alone isn't enough to prevent Slumberland from being plunged into darkness. The adorable sugar glider, Icarus, is often proven to have more sense than his human owner. I would say the crux of the film is a) not many of the characters are able to employ logic, and b) some scenes seem to drag on too long towards the end.

* Stitch!
* Super Mario Brothers: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen
* The Tale of Osamu Tezuka: I'm Son Goku
* Yōsei Florence
Commentary: Apparently, Hayao Miyazaki was working on this film, alongside Mr. Hata, but left mid-way through the production. It makes you wonder how different Little Nemo could have been, if he had stayed on! The main issues with the directing was the pacing. I have had similar issues with Mr. Hata's other films, The Sea Prince and the Fire Child and Nayuta specifically struggled in this regard, Chirin no Suzu didn't struggle with pacing as much because it was a very short film.
Mœbius (character designs), notable works:
As Jean Giraud

* Arzach
* The Airtight Garage
* The Incal
* Les Maîtres du temps
* Le Monde d'Edena
* Silver Surfer
* Après l'Incal
* Icare
* The Halo Graphic Novel
Commentary: The original comics for Little Nemo, known as Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay, are polychromatic and surreal. The choice to hire Mœbius as the designer of the project was perfect, because his comics have the same kind of perspective, detail, and richness put into their panels! Mœbius is one of the most prolific artists out there. Dragon's Heaven (an anime and manga, originally created by the mangaka, Makoto Kobayashi) has a similar ambience to his Mr. Giraud's bibliography, it's clear that the creator of the OVA was heavily influenced by his art.
I watched Little Nemo with the English dub, so I will list the Japanese seiyū, but comments will be on the performances of the English voice actors.

Commentary: I have never seen anything that Mr. Erhard has done previously, but his voice was suited for King Morpheus. He has a very booming and jolly voice. I could kind of imagine his voice actor doing a performance as Santa Claus!

* Adult Tod, The Fox and the Hound ✅
* Santa Claus, Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July
* Lampie, Pete's Dragon

* Scarecrow, Journey Back to Oz
Commentary: I knew of Mickey Rooney before watching this film. I mean, how could you not. He's one of the biggest, classically celebrated, Hollywood names! Disney's The Fox and the Hound is one of my favorite films of all time, his voice as the grown-up Tod was really compelling and heart-breaking. His role in this film is not like that, at all. Flip is the sleaziest grifter out there and his greasy behavior leads Nemo astray. His character reminded me of the "talent recruiters" in Disney's Pinnochio!
Kōichi Kitamura as Professor Genius, notable roles:
* Murao Mima, Key the Metal Idol
René Auberjonois as Professor Genius, notable roles:
* Father John Patrick "Dago Red" Mulcahy, M*A*S*H
* Roy Bagley, King Kong (1976)
* Colonel West, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
* Dr. Burton, Batman Forever
Commentary: I don't remember any of Mr. Auberjonois characters in his other films, I have seen Batman Forever and miscellaneous episodes of M*A*S*H on TV, but I don't remember him. He plays his role very well. The English cast for this film seems to have been carefully curated, to fit each role. It's impressive!
Tarō Ishida as The Nightmare King, notable roles:
* Shikishima, Akira ✅
* Tenkai, Kamui no Ken
* Lazare d' Cagliostro, Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro ✅
William E. Martin as The Nightmare King, notable roles:
* Broadside, The Transformers
* Claw, Karate Kommandos
* Samhain, The Real Ghostbusters
* Shredder, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ✅
Commentary: I think that it's amazing that The Nightmare King is Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Mr. Martin makes The Nightmare King very menacing, it reminded me of the Night on Bald Mountain segment in Disney's Fantasia!
To wrap this review up, Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland is a phenomenal achievement in animation. I've never seen anything else quite like it. It seems to be a love letter to many of the other, foundational children's stories! The characters and story could have been stronger, but I still rate it a 6/10 and plan on purchasing the Blu-ray!
Rating: ★★★☆☆

What an odd little movie. So bad, and yet such a colorful history. You may notice I generally gave some poor scores, but highly recommend this movie. Why? It's a perfect example of why communication is important. This movie has everything it needs to be amazing. It was worked on by some true animation giants. Chuck Jones of Looney Tunes fame, who invented many standards of animation that are used to this day. Ray Bradbury, writer of Fahrenheit 451. Music by the Sherman Brothers, who wrote a ton of music I guarantee you know! Even Hayao Miyazaki, the man the myth the legend, worked onthe film for a brief time. If you look closely you can see their influences. And there are some other big names linked to this project.
So why do so many rights make a ginormous wrong?
Lack of communication.
Some are quoted as saying they asked the animators what they were working off of, "we're just illustrating what Bradbury is writing" and when Bradbury was asked what he doing he said "I'm just putting in writing what these wonderful artists are drawing"
Insert screaming melty man pop art. I highly recommend you watch this movie simply because it is such a piece of animation history with so many big names on it. You can see Chuck Jones' influence in the design of the squirrel Icarus. And some scenes, like them fancifully bouncing around the kingdom on balls while a song plays, are clearly worked on by Miyazaki. It's fun to watch and try to spot who animated what.
This is definitely a film to watch when you're in the mood for a bad movie.

So, I recently rewatched the English dub of Little Nemo on Crunchyroll. Some of the movie I remember watching as a kid, but other parts I seem to have forgotten. Story wise, tackling the idea of a repeating dream sequences can present problems, but the film seemed to mostly handle that well. The 'Oh, I'm still in a dream' notion does wear thin, but thankfully they don't dwell on that for too long. Other than that, the narrative is simple and family oriented. A good morality tale on keeping promises and finding the courage to fixmistakes.
I think that this film's animation has held up reasonably well, on par with other animated features of the 80's and 90's. Not as good as Disney Renaissance, but better than Rankin & Bass. Sort of that Don Bluth film area. Slumberland and its inhabitants are whimsical and colorful, while their nightmare counterparts can be appropriately frightening to younger audiences. Perhaps too frightening for some children, so grain of salt for parents.
Is there an edited version of the English dub out there? I remember the clown character Flip being a typical hobo clown (light face makeup and dark mouth makeup), not a Minstrel Show clown with all racial baggage that carries with it. Now there's a third cringe joining Jynx and Mr. Popo in the world of Japanese animation transitions to the US.
The English dub has some issues. Moments of missing or awkward lip flaps, line delivery that is mismatched with the tone, and dialogue out of sync are all present at one point or other. Thankfully, this is more of an exception than rule. The music is alright, if a little flamboyant at times.
For a film that went through so many hands while in development hell, it has survived to be a decent film for the family. Hope you enjoy.
