Short description

A little boy whose dreams transcend reality is sucked into his own fantasy, which is everything he has dreamed of, until he unleashes an old secret that may not only destroy this perfect dream world but reality itself.

What's left behind the scenes

In the early stages of production, Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki worked on the project, but both left due to creative differences. Miyazaki later said that working on 'Little Nemo' was 'the worst experience of his professional career'.
The creator of Little Nemo, Winsor McCay, being one of the pioneers of American animation, realized the first adaptation of his comics in 1911. It was a 10-minute film, in the creation of which McCay was assisted by director and producer James Blackton, with 2 minutes of the film consisting of animated material.
The first Japanese anime released for wide public distribution in the United States.
Despite generally favorable reviews, the film was a box office failure: it grossed around $10 million in Japan and just over a million dollars in the US (with a total production budget of $30 million). Nevertheless, after its release on VHS, over 2 million copies were sold.
