It’s time to Netflix and nap with their latest animated movie, In Your Dreams. In this review, I’ll be looking into what the streaming platform was hyping up throughout the year and discover rather if this film does feel like a dream with its fantastical animation, or is it more like a nightmare where it turns out to be an animated kids’ movie gone horribly wrong.

in your dreams was a good movie but i was a little put off by the designs of the humans. the movie has a very similar issue that The Incredibles had where because Stevie and her family is separated for a good portion of the movie we don’t get know them as a family. the movie wants us to feel bad for Stevie but the movie never really commits to letting the audience actually see her struggle with her parents separation. instead it’s structured in a way that feels very basic and surface level and it doesn’t help either that the movie ends with Stevie basically getting what she wants by having her parents stay together. and because Stevie and Elliots parents get very little screen time the separation angle doesn’t land as hard as it should have. and the dreams themselves also felt very basic in their execution going for very generic settings like a breakfast dream, a surprise test, teeth falling out, flying and other stuff like that. not every joke lands but the one that did get me to laugh the hardest was when Elliot tackled that restaurant mascot. the movies ending and message would’ve hit harder if it had shown the parents actually seperating and Stevie learning to be okay with it. this was a very disappointing movie, i can think of 3 other movies that did this better. Inside Out, Mitchells vs the Machines, and Mrs. Doubtfire. basically the entire movie felt sugarcoated

Oh, come on! Don’t tell me they made the Sand Man into a villain. That makes less sense considering the concept of the legend being the one to provide you with good sleep and pleasant dreams in the same vein as Santa Claus providing toys and the Easter Bunny providing Easter eggs and candy. That’s the POINT of the Sandman and the aforementioned holiday figures: to be the embodiment of positivity and spreading it to others. If the Sandman was a villain, why would he create all those fun dream worlds shown in the film? Really says something when DreamWorks (or really William Joyce) understand the legend of the Sandman better.

Why do I get the feeling I’m leaning more towards agreeing on Antic’s opinion than Mat’s opinion the further I distance myself from people upon judging each movie on it own. What I mean is that I disagree with him and think it kinda sucks. I get that Netflix is trying to market and campaign this movie hard to be an award season contender for the animated feature race, but I think it a bland animated kids movie which due to the story, writing, humor, characters, and tone were not good but also hurts this film overall. I know it has okay animation, heart, and voice acting but I think it looks unoriginal and forgettable to me. I prefer watching Mrs. Doubtfire over this when it comes to handling the subject matter of divorce that kids should watch over In Your Dreams. I don’t what critics see in this movie but I find it as a dull kids flick .

I agree personally I kinda hated it overall (was around a 3/10 for me)
