Last night, I watched Slumberland on Netflix.
It is very loosely based on the newspaper comic strip from 1905 - 1927 named "Little Nemo in Slumberland."
They have changed a lot of the background including the characters from the original source material to make this feature film.
For starters, they have changed the gender of Nemo from a little boy in the comic to a little girl for the film, they have changed the companion of Flip from a green looking clown to a burly fast talking satyr con-artist played by the OTT Jason Momoa. and they have changed other aspects of the movie as well.
The lead actress (Marlow Barkley) did a good job with her role as the hero as the duo plus a living stuffed Pig go on a treasure hunt for a magical pearl that will grant their wishes as they travel through other people's dreams and try to escape from Agent Green from Slumberland's Bureau of Subconcious Activities (BOSA) and the sinister shadowy Nightmare who is hunting Nemo.
This is a very sweet, sad and amazing fantasy movie that all ages will love and enjoy.
I will rate this flick a score of 6/10.
