Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland

Sleeper movie- must watch. Disc works great- package is as the original

I first saw this movie when I was about 7 years old, if I remember correctly. I didn’t know much about Mickey Rooney back then, or who the Sherman Brothers were who wrote the songs for this movie. But I know that all three people were very famous. As I look back on watching the movie now, I can better appreciate the plot, the characters, and the history behind the story. I love all of this stuff in filmmaking. I am a big filmmaking fan and movie buff. I give movie a five star rating 100 percent. If there are any children of today who love fantasy stories, this is definitely one movie to watch, among many others like Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” from 1991, “Aladdin” from 1992, “The Lion King” from 1994, and so on.

Such a cute movie! I love it so much and it was a childhood favorite of mine. I read one of the comments from someone who previously watched and I’m a perplexed as to why anybody would call this movie “racist” or “promoting racist propaganda”? The clown character, Flip is green.. not black (as you can see on the cover) and is not portrayed as being any particular race. He’s just Flip. At one point in the movie, Flip hides under a woman’s dress (the top layer) in order to gain entrance into a party and is not “grabbing” her. This also isn’t just a Japanese/American movie that is circa 1988 and was actually written by Winsor McCay and first introduced in 1911 as a comic strip in a New York journal newspaper. There wasn’t racist propaganda when it was written and the strip was based around the writer’s own son. This is an absolutely adorable and innocent movie and anyone who sees it as otherwise is reaching for something that simply is not there. My suggestion is to buy it, watch it yourself, and if you do not feel comfortable showing it to your children for whatever reason, then return it. I highly doubt that you will though.

Phenomenal movie. Came in good condidtion.

ok my review of little nemo adventures in slumberland. it was a good animated movie for 1992 i have seen lots of movies like this one the plot. a kid of the 1904 time line he goes to sleep and he taken to slumberland to see the king.the king opens up his kingdom to nemo and gives him a magical key that opens up a door .ok see the plot, nemo is going to open up the door and all hell is going to break out in slumberland .the story is a little old but good the background art is beautiful if you can see the japanese art and americen artwork . but the old story line ok winsor mccay that lived in 1904 and had a comic strip named little nemo adventures in slumberland . buy this movie its good just one mess up the box says wide-screen but is not its full screen .ps i dont like wide-screen and deleted scenes are added in the movie. and character voices by mickey rooney and rene auderjonois and gabriel damon. if you have a kid extra features ok. if you do not have a kid just pass the features . overall its still a buy,rating 4/5 buy . more info go [...]

I thought I'd chime in because all of the reviews are still for the DVD (I hate that Amazon does this mixture). This is a must own blu-ray if you have any appreciation for this movie. Let me tell you why: - You finally get stuff that was only on the ephemeral Japanese DVD which goes for about $250 now. This most notably includes the two pilot films produce by a couple of directors. They are basically short films in themselves not looking much like the movie or following the story, but charming in their own right. - It has the making of stuff from the laserdisc. These aren't that great though since it just focuses on the writers and voice actors of the movie, which were the great failings here. It would be nice if any of those features had given credit to the animators or their process, but no dice. This movie apparently has a long troubled history with rotating staff and joint efforts from a Japanese and U.S. studio. I hope someday we might get a nice big history book here. - Finally some concept and production art! I don't know if these were on the Japanese DVD, but I have been looking for some of this stuff forever. There's a Japanese art book but there's hardly any pictures and it's mostly storyboards, so this Blu-ray has a lot of new great stuff. I don't think it has the Brian Froud concepts though, which I still would like to see one day. - The Japanese dub is available for those that want to pretend that this is an anime. :) There are a couple of downsides. The transfer could be a little bit sharper and there's some jitter, but I'm guessing Eastern Star did the best they could. I kind of wish the American opening was cleaned up and intact with the main film as the Japanese opening is just incredibly boring and long credits, but I have never seen this before so it's very interesting. The U.S. opening is still available as a special feature. Also I really wish companies would stop using this awful cover. It makes the gorgeous movie look like it will be badly drawn. The artist who did this cover was obviously inept and I wish it would disappear from circulation. I cannot commend Eastern Star enough for finally making these special features available for the first time for U.S. audiences and putting this movie on blu-ray. Finally someone does it right after the slew of cheapo and sloppy DVD releases we've gotten through the years.

I remember this movie so fondly from my childhood and when I thought of it I was ecstatic to find it on Amazon. After reading several reviews for the DVD vs the Blu-ray version, I decided to splurge on this Blu-ray version. Mostly this was for the sake of the extras. I have yet to watch all of the bonus material, but I am glad to have it on file for when I do wish to. Little Nemo is one of my all time favorites, with great animation and a whimsical storyline. Although the story progresses in a way that does not always make complete sense, I love it just as much as I did as a child. As an older animated film, there are certain themes that parents these days might not find kosher for younger children (a character who chain smokes cigars/is a huge troublemaker and some scenes that /may/ have given me nightmares as a kid). Nonetheless, I still believe it to be a great story and, while parents may wish to screen it before deciding when their kids are old enough to watch, one that should be shared to newer generations.

A fantastic film lovely for people of all ages. Lots of adventures through both dream and nightmare worlds with lovable characters and a scary villain. A great film definitely worth a watch.

Thank you so much AMAZON. I am so happy to have the dvd of little nemo adventures in slumberland. It came faster than I escaped. Thank you so much AMAZON!!!!!

Wonderful VHS movie, a childhood favourite of mine since my Childhood. Only movie I really watched over and over again in my childhood.

Una película recomendable, gran historia, hasta la fecha la recuerdo con gusto como si fuera un niño, te lleva por lo variado que pueden ser los sueños y las pesadillas de una manera impecable.

３０年前に見た子供の頃の名作です。 僕の３人の子供に冒険やファンタジーを感じて欲しく購入しました。 なかなかレンタルショップには置いていない商品ですので、借りるのは困難ですよ！ 私もレンタルを選択しましたが、置いてあるショップを見つけれた試しがありません。 ぜひ購入をオススメしますね。
