In Your Dreams

"In Your Dreams" is a light, colorful animated adventure that builds its world on an undeniably charming premise. There's a playful imagination at the heart of the film - vibrant dreamscapes, quirky characters, and a tone that balances whimsy with gentle emotion. It's the kind of movie that clearly means well, and when it leans into its creativity, it can be genuinely delightful.

The visual style carries much of the weight. The dream sequences are fun to look at, filled with inventive details that make the world feel alive even when the story doesn't always keep up. The animation has personality, even if it's not quite polished enough to compete with the genre's top tier. The soundtrack supports the mood nicely, adding an airy energy that fits the film's playful spirit.

Where the movie falls short is in its storytelling. The plot is straightforward - sometimes a little too straightforward - and the emotional beats rarely land with much force. The characters are likable enough, but they don't get the depth or development needed to fully connect. The humor works here and there, offering small laughs, but it often feels safe and predictable rather than genuinely clever.

Still, "In Your Dreams" has an easygoing charm. It's pleasant, harmless, and sweet, with just enough creativity to keep it from fading into mediocrity.

In the end, it's a mildly enjoyable, nicely animated film that entertains without ever becoming truly remarkable.

This week they released the teaser of Toy Story 5, meaning Pixar is really desperate to ve hit, cause lately Elio was unwatchable.

So seeing my fair share of classic like Apples tv Luck or Netflix Inmaginium, there's joy to share n feel that missing in most children films today, taking me to In your Dreams.

There story touch subjects most missing out, Moving from home, separation of parents n having that wish could be real?

Sold me, of sister n brother duo n what em want, how their bond will take em to meet the sandman have their wish. Have perfect family, without facing the truth of matter. Really like they focus on how their parents re battling to stay together, n affect is having the kids.

The animation was divided which is good from this studio call Kuku, like the kamekameha scene, confusing me don't that's anime or dogwa or mahwa?

But hey sold me completely.

So conclude In your Dreams is pretty decent movie, that's focus on mature themes, that most children films don't touch.

With this year been reruns like the live action How Train Your Dragon. Feels they seriously running out ideas, but Star Wars Vision vol.3 Is best to experiment with something new.

Hype for Zootopia n subject is gonna bring, but remember animation is fantasy way, to make story.

Netflix have produced many animated films in the last years. In your dreams is a better one of those I say. Firstly the animation had more of a human quality to it and it felt like a real film if that makes sense. Stevie lives with her mom and dad who are musicians but have not had a hit in some years and are down on their luck. She also has a brother called elliot. After he finds a book at a libuary called the sandman the pair find themself in some strange dream worlds and batteling through nightmare in order to meet the big man himself. I thought this movie was made well. Belony tony was a good comic relife character and help cut through some sader scenes. Overall a nice family movie that really makes you appreciate your parents.

I'm not going to lie you'll notice a lot of cliche things about this & in this film but it's cliche with a hint of oomph to it. I had high expectations for this film and expected something uniquely spectacular just by the title, so i was kind of disappointed to find out that film simply revolved around a modernized version of the Sandman".

However that doesn't change that fact that this movie still had a lot of good & heartwarming scenes, especially between two siblings. I wouldn't rate it the best but it's far from the worst. This movie was definitely still enjoyable. I'll rate it a fair 6.

I really liked In Your Dreams. It's one of those films that quietly stays with you - not because it's loud or flashy, but because it speaks to something real. The story excited me with its lesson: the children's wish for everyone to be happy felt so valid, so deeply human. It's a longing we all share, especially when we're young and still believe happiness can be simple.

The protagonist just wanted a happy family, like everyone else. But the film doesn't stop there - it shows that each person carries their own dreams. The parents have theirs. The brother has his. And sometimes, those dreams don't align. What moved me most was the film's honesty: even if what we want doesn't work out, it doesn't mean everything is broken. There's still beauty in what remains.

The Sandman, who tries to give everyone happiness, represents that universal desire. But the movie gently warns us - too much happiness, or getting everything we want, can lead to chaos and unexpected consequences. That's a powerful message, especially for those of us who've learned that joy without grounding can be overwhelming.

And then there's Nightmara. At first, she seems like the antagonist. But the film flips that idea. It shows how fear, when understood, can actually give us confidence and protect us. Fear isn't the enemy - it's part of what makes us strong.

After I watched In Your Dreams, I immediately shared it with my friends. It's the kind of story that deserves to be talked about - not just for its visuals or plot, but for the emotional truth it carries. It reminded me that dreams, even when imperfect, can guide us toward something deeper.
