    Rem Lezar is the key to all of this.

    Sure, this may seem like nothing but a bizarrely written, poorly acted (and sung) and lazily produced attempt at a kids show about an imaginary friend who comes across more as a pervert than a super hero, but it's stylistically designed to be that way, and you can't undo that!

    Rem Lezar teaches many life lessons....

    I don't know why this film didn't get more publicity...I would like to see Netflix or Amazon Prime offer it...Finding the music CD is almost impossible but Apple Music does offer some of the hits from the film. I have watched this film several times and each time I walk away with new enlightened wisdom.... The adversity we face in life is there as Vorock the villain...The quest we go on in life and so much more.... I would like to see a part 2 made with a wide theatrical release with possible rock versions of the many hits.... Especially Zak's "dreaming of a dream" song... I would personally play this film at work functions to promote the lessons of team building and goal setting...

    Better than Citizen Kane

    You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll start feeling down right uncomfortable. 5 bags of popcorn and 2 towers

    We are all Rem Lezar

    When I first heard Rem's beautiful singing, I immediately knew that the dreams (and future) of all of the world's children was in some hands.

    I have memorized all of the words and sing Rem's songs loudly and consistently at my children while they eat their breakfast. I have done this every morning since 1989 and my children, who still live with me, smile and smile and smile and smile. It has significantly transformed our lives.

    I recommend you succumb to Rem Lezar. We should all give in.

    Rem Lazar has shown the true spirit of America

    Rem Lazar has shown ed me that is i live like a windjammer i can only dream of his bluebell mullet. WHen i am dreaming of a dream i dreaming of the rem Lazar dreams. I want 2 Wake up next to rem. This movie is as true classic of the American dreams. I may b from other foreign but i stile love the rems. Now apparently this review calls for more than 10 lines, this is not what rem died for... he did not sacrifice his mullet for this. The manic violinist in the park also adds a nice touch to the spirit of this movie, I would also like to point out the black guy, first we land on the moon, now we finally get black people in movies?! Wow take that racism. In conclusion i am done
