Trivia
Because the film was released in Japan in 1989, and because most of the Nintendo Entertainment System's games were designed in Japan, the NES tie in, Little Nemo: The Dream Master (1990) was available in the US for several years before the film was released. As the American cartridges made no reference to the film, most players were unaware that the game was, in fact, a tie-in to the movie, and not simply inspired by the comic strip.

Goofs
In the opening sequence, the sheets on Nemo's bed are removed when he nearly falls off, but are reattached by the time the train appears.

Quotes
Nemo: Who was that Professor?
Professor Genius: Flip! A frightful fellow!
Nemo: Flip?
Professor Genius: Please, forget you ever heard that name.

Alternate versions
The film was originally 94 minutes. When the film was released in the US in 1992, some intense sequences and additional material was cut to obtain a G rating and to make the film shorter. The Japanese DVD box-set and 2004 US DVD restored these sequences.

Featured in At the Movies: Single White Female/Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland/Light Sleeper/Rapid Fire/Diggstown (1992)

8/10

Visually fantastic!

Ever rent a movie out of curiosity because, although you've never heard a good thing about it, you want to see it anyway because you thought it looked good? That happened to me with "Little Nemo"; I rented it one summer and felt as if I had struck gold.

The thing that got me with this movie was that the animators managed to imitate the original Windsor McCay illustrations so closely. Being an illustrator myself, that completely won me over and that alone would be cause to recommend it. But this is also one of the most visually inventive animated films I've ever seen. I will not spoil the surprise by describing anything, but the way this movie depicts Slumberland is surely the best thing about it. This is definately worth hunting down.
