Like so many kids' adventures, this one starts with the loss of a parent.

There are expectedly dazzling visualsLike so many kids' adventures, this one starts with the loss of a parent. In this case, Marlow Barkley plays a girl who longs to bring her father back and discovers a map to a dream world that might help. There are expectedly dazzling visuals to thrill the eye, but it's Jason Momoa, as her guide, who adds his irreverent style to humorous effect. Unfortunately, there are numerous scenes of emotional drama that keep interrupting the pace. This is strictly formula production that sometimes gets exciting or even fun, but more often gets dragged down by the drama.… Expand

Could be a better movie, but it's still a good and fun family movie with good rithm and a solid plot.

There is a massive lack of excitement and adventure and we also have a little girl who can't interact properly with the two adults with whom she shares the most screen time, Jason Momoa and Chris O'Dowd, so following the plot with interest becomes complicated.

Slumberland was aiming very high and while it is on Netflix's top 10, which is already a success, it's a movie that will quickly become another of the streaming giant's constant disappointments.… Expand

Es una película que no debería de existir. Un insulto a la versión animada y al cómic.

I watched this movie with my daughter and wife.
A beautiful movie, very touching if you are a father.
Thank you to everyone that made this film possible.
It made me emotional a couple of times.

Fantastic film, can’t recommend it enough. If you’re a big fan of the work it’s based off of, you should apparently not watch it because it’s nothing like the source. If you go into it blindly, though, you’ll really enjoy it.

The whole family thoroughly enjoyed this. Couple of us including me and my 10 year old son were in tears at the end.

Very accomplished director, writers and actors here. By the director of Kenau Reeves' Constantine with which it has considerable resonance. Heartfelt thru and thru. The adult-worthy sub-plot offers way more depth than most Disney family movies.… Expand

Slumberland it was a warm touching movie. Visual effects are great. Sound was great. Great family movie to watch. Jason Momoa played a great role in this movie and it was nice to see his comedian side in this movie.

This is a sham movie for the woke crowd, pandering by changing the Windsor McKay classic comic strip from the early 1900s about a little boy who goes to a mystical slumber land and usually falls dramatically out of bed as his dreams resolve.This is a sham movie for the woke crowd, pandering by changing the Windsor McKay classic comic strip from the early 1900s about a little boy who goes to a mystical slumber land and usually falls dramatically out of bed as his dreams resolve.

I highly advise watching the 90's classic take Little Nemo in Slumberland, which was previously worked on by Studio Ghibli staff (Totoro, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, etc) before they'd formed as a studio. It's muchore true to the source.

This movie opts to do a gender swap on the protagonist, and goes for the hunky Hawaiian sensation Jason Mamoa and smears the character Flip unrecognizable. Slumberland in the original had beautiful Victorian theming that could have been a spectacle but this has been washed of all original ideas for a cash grab. Directed by Francis Lawrence who also ruined the film adaptation of I am Legend w/ race swaps and story twists killing all original character of an amazing property.

Save your time and money unless you want to have a wine spritzer and foam at the mouth over Jason Mamoa as he's the only good part, but is completely irrelevant to the source.… Expand
