Unfortunately for me I was unable to watch Little Nemo due to technical issues but I was looking forward to it as it's a movie I have not seen before and now I'll have to wait a little before I can watch it but that's alright as I've plenty of patience sweatdrop .

Never Stop Dreaming....
You can never Have Too much Patience.
I thought it was mildly entertaining. It was cute, but not the best movie ever.
Of That Beautiful Place..

I loved it. It was absolutely brimming with childhood nostalgia and the animation has aged very well. It was spectacular for the time and still better quality (minus vibrancy in the color department) that most animated shows are created with, today.
It was less moralizing than lots of other movies made for people that age, too. One might usually expect Nemo to take responsibility for opening the door, but instead points the finger at Flip... Even though he does take responsibility in the end.
I'm not sure if the adaptation was American or Japanese but I will say both countries typically end in the boy or girl coming back from the Other World. I'll try not to get too deeply into the discussions about the Japanese aesthetic of impermanence or the escapism of Japanese fantasy, but unlike most Japanese movies, you got the idea that Nemo could probably go back again, if he wanted to.
I was glad to see that unlike most princesses in the story, this one doesn't rely on the hero for every little thing. While she eventually gets captured and can only wait helplessly, by this point most of the other important characters have been, as well. Besides, before that she at least makes a strong attempt to fight the goblins and delivers a knock out punch to Flip for being disrespectful.
I was also pleased to hear Nemo's voice. I wasn't paying enough attention to the credits, but it actually sounded like this is one of the incredibly rare movies where they actually got a little boy to play a little boy instead of counting on the audience's willing suspension of disbelief while we listened to a woman voice act the role, which has never, ever worked. We've just gotten so used to hearing it that we no longer think it strange, anymore.
Anyone else have any thoughts on those topics?

I too, am happy that the princess actually took charge and could hold her own. Reminds me of the Courageous Princess (great comic book, read is several times over when I was little).
It is a good thing that -if- his voice was played by a little boy. More parts of children should be played by children if they really want to convince us.
Yes, it didn't try to shove any morals right in the audience's face which is also something I like- Nemo acted like a real kid, not like the kid that all the adults try to make children into.
I, myself am not a big child movie watcher, but I give this one a four out five stars.

Tea Panda O_0 I, myself am not a big child movie watcher, but I give this one a four out five stars. I will say that it was my favorite of the movie's that we watched, so far, not that I disliked Spawn or the Fifth Element.

I couldn't really get into it.
By part 3 I had no idea what was going on...
I could see what they were doing but I just couldn't grasp it.
I liked the artwork a lot, like I said.. it reminded me of some disney movies..
& a little bit of a nutcracker movie I saw when I was a kid.
It was cute.. & I hope I get a second chance at watching it.

One of Pixar's masterpieces next to Toy Story. The Voices were done great.The Animation was good. The only part that I didn't was the Sea Turtle part(Sea Turtles are not surfers) talk2hand That and how a child kills fish.

KTS: You have no idea what this thread is about, obviously. We are discussing the US/Japan co-production Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, which was released in 1989 (1991 here in the US). While Brad Bird, who later went on to work for Pixar, did some work on this film, Pixar had no involvement with this film. It was released by Hemdale Films.
Lady Kira: It will remind you of classic Disney animation because a number of Disney animators worked on this film, including Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. The songs were also written by the Sherman Brothers, who wrote for a number of Disney films, including The Jungle Book and The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh.
Josh: Yes, a boy voiced Nemo. His name is Gabriel Damon, and he also voiced Littlefoot in The Land Before Time. He is now 34.
Also, the screenplay was written by Chris Columbus and adapted from a screen treatment by Ray Bradbury.
Some of you may not be aware, but both Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata of Studio Ghibli were involved with this film in the 80s, but left due to creative differences.

I'm looking forward to watching this over the course of the next few days. I rather enjoy hearing that there was a princess that wasn't the typical kind and thatin itself makes me curious to watch it even more. I'm hoping to enjoy watching one of the older classic movies such as this appears to be as it has been some time since I was able to indulge myself in the joy of animated childrens movies and cartoons from that time.
