Nightmare Ned | comment |
Yet another animated series from Disney, premiering on April 19, 1997. Ned Needlemeyer is a nervous young boy with several intense fears, which play themselves out in exaggerated fashions in his dreams. Each episode is basically one long Nightmare Sequence of Ned facing a different fear. The show lasted for 12 episodes, each of which contained 2 segments except for the last which had 3, making a total of 25 stories. | |

Nightmare Ned / int_3616a3ae | comment |
Mutagenic Food: Ned is tricked into eating dog food by Conrad and Vernon in one episode, and naturally winds up dreaming that he's transformed into a dog. He gets his revenge on the bullies (in the dream, anyway) by tricking them into eating cat food, then chasing them down when they turn into cats. | |

Unwilling Roboticisation: In the episode "Robot Ned", Ned's new robot "brother" Sammy, still mad from being smashed to pieces by the former, roboticises Ned by implanting a computer chip into his hand. It's shortly revealed afterwards that Sammy already did the same thing to the rest of Ned's family! | |

Nightmare Ned / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: In the show, almost all the nightmares end this way. Of course, Ned wakes up and depending on the episode it might have a positive or negative influence on him. It is averted thankfully in the "Abduction" since it was the only real one. | |

Homage: The Willie Trout episode was a play on Pinocchio, with Geppetto himself, and Cicero as Figaro. In Neds Life as a Dog, Neds transformation scene is somewhat a nod to the movie An American Werewolf in London. | |

Cruel Twist Ending | |
Nightmare Ned / int_a4cd4fc6 | comment |
Cruel Twist Ending: Not the endings of episodes, but rather the endings of Ned's nightmares, as they often end with Ned's dream-self dying or being transformed. One example is the episode "Willie Trout"; Ned's nightmare is a rather light adventure that's an homage to Pinocchio and it even seems to have a happy ending. But then the Blue Fairy appears, mistakes Ned for Pinocchio and says that he'll now become a real boy... before turning Ned into a wooden puppet. Ned screams in horror and wakes up. | |
