comment |
Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland is an Animated Adaptation of the Comic Strip Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay. In it, a young boy named Nemo travels to Slumberland in his dreams after receiving an invitation from Princess Camille. There he is trained to become the new prince. But, under the bad influence of the trickster clown Flip, Nemo inadvertently unleashes the Nightmare King, and has to save King Morpheus after he's kidnapped and taken to Nightmareland.It was produced in the late Eighties by TMS Entertainment in Japan, where it was released in 1989 with limited release in the US. In 1992, a re-cut edition was released in the US, which was re-released in 2005 as part of the Biggs' Adventurenote later known as Kidtoon Films matinee series. This film also served as the basis for Nemo and Little Nemo: The Dream Master, two Capcom-developed video games for the arcade and NES, respectively, in 1990. The latter ultimately became more well-known than the both the film and the comic itself.Was released on Blu-Ray Disc in 2012, this time with the original Japanese audio as an option. It also has an official upload on YouTube posted by TMS, and this is the uncut version on the DVD and Blu-Ray. |

comment |
Canon Foreigner: Professor Genius, who seems partly based on Dr. Pill from the comics though his appearance is different. Also, Icarus, Nightmareland and the Nightmare King are unique to the film. The Boomps are also more or less based on the Imp from the comic, but split into five, and changed into friendly goblins instead of a single racist caricature. |

Awesome, but Impractical |
| | Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland / int_2bdae2ae |
comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Zigzagged with the Royal Scepter, an all-powerful magical artifact that can disintegrate any creature of Nightmareland with a single blast of its laser at full power. The downside is the long list of magic words its user needs to chant to activate that full power, which is easily interruptible, and the incantation itself puts so much strain on the human body that it will kill the person unless used by a trained adult. Despite all these setbacks, chanting just a few verses causes the scepter to emit a Hard Light that essentially turns it into a Laser Blade, strong enough to cut through even the Nightmare King's limbs with a single slash. |

Damsel in Distress: Princess Camille, twice. The first time was light when she was attacked by water goblins but manage to put up a fight before the others joined in to help her. The second time however was much more serious. She didn't stand a chance against the gargoyles when they captured her along with the Professor and Flip. Naturally, Nemo feels pretty bad about failing to protect her. |

Ambiguous Gender: In the original comics, Bon Bon (also known as The Candy Kid) was unquestionably male. In the movie... it's far less clear. S/he's voiced by a female, but that's quite common for young male characters as well. The longer hair and pastel clothes mean nothing in this film. |

Would Hurt a Child: When Nemo and the Boomps finally reach his lair, Nightmare King tortures Camille to lure Nemo out of hiding. It works. Since she's locked in a crystal pillar in a suspended-animated state, we never find out what effect the torture was having on her, but maybe it's for the best that we don't. |

To say nothing of the guy who created the original Little Nemo comics. Scenery Porn hardly begins to describe Winsor McCay. |

comment |
Cast from Hit Points: It's implied that the Royal Scepter can do this if its user isn't strong enough. When Morpheus announces that he will pass it on to Nemo, the crowd becomes extremely worried for the boy's safety until the king mentions that Nemo will have to grow in both wisdom and bodily strength to use it. Later, Icarus reminds the Boomps that the scepter will kill Nemo if he attempts to use the full incantation to defeat the Nightmare King. When Nemo does use it, it does seem to have consumed his life before Morpheus revives him. |

Oh, No... Not Again!: This is the Professor's reaction when he finds King Morpheus is not on his throne when Nemo first arrives in Slumberland. During the song about training Nemo to be a prince, the horse that Nemo tries riding on flips him off his seat and onto the fat dancing lady from a few minutes before, who catches him, and he says, "Not again!" |

Compressed Adaptation: It took Nemo months to finally reach the Princess in the comics, and yet in the film Nemo dreams everything that happens to him in Slumberland in a single night. Of course, doing a plot like the movie has as a weekly comic would probably translate to about one or two years worth of storyline. |

But You Were There, and You, and You: Nemo bases many of Slumberland's residents on people he saw at the parade in the beginning of the film. For example, he bases Professor Genius from the piano player, Princess Camille from the girl who gave him a rose, Flip from the clown who knocked him over, and King Morpheus from the kindly ringleader who gave him a ride. |

Impossibly Cool Weapon |
| | Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland / int_d0c5fb3 |
comment |
Impossibly Cool Weapon: The Royal Scepter certainly counts. Saying the whole incantation required allows it to fire a Wave-Motion Gun that can take down even the Nightmare King, and spouting just a fraction of the chant turns the scepter into a Laser Blade. |

Dream Within a Dream: Happens to Nemo twice. Both times he realizes he's still dreaming when, after waking up from a Catapult Nightmare, he finds the Royal Scepter in his bed. |

Pajama-Clad Hero: Nemo spends most of his adventure clad in plain white pajamas. He does occasionally get the chance to change out of them, but just ends up back in them again at the start of each new dream. |

Chair Reveal: Professor Genius takes Nemo to the throne room to be "properly" introduced to the king, but the throne turns out to be empty. Judging by the Professor's reaction, the king pulls this type of vanishing act a lot. |

All Just a Dream: The entire adventure takes place in Nemo's dream. It's implied that the dream came from his desire to see the circus, as well as his guilt over breaking his promise to his mother to stay away from her pies. |

comment |
Redemption Equals Death: Nearly the case for Nemo, who makes up for releasing the Nightmare King by using the Royal Scepter against him, despite knowing doing so could kill him. Fortunately, thanks to Morpheus, he gets better. |

Easily Forgiven: Even though Nemo breaks his promise to not opening the door, no one holds a grudge against him when he admits to it; even King Morpheus tags along as he compliments Nemo for his bravery that destroyed the Nightmare King for good. |

Never Say "Die": One reason scenes were deleted from the VHS release was that the plot point of Nemo possibly dying if he used the scepter was censored, which necessitated even his Disney Death being shortened. |

Beware the Nice Ones |
| | Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland / int_fccd06b6 |
comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: King Morpheus is as jolly and loving as they come. But anything or anyone that threatens his kingdom or its people will face the wrath of him and his powerful scepter. Both Nemo and Princess Camille qualify as well; they're well-mannered and sweet kids, but it is not smart to make either of them mad. |
