My Thoughts
Everyone has heard of the incredibly popular NES game, Little Nemo: The Dream Master. It's one of the best games on the NES! Not everyone knows that it's actually based on this anime movie.
You could easily mistake this movie for a Disney animation, because everything about it mimics the Disney style. It's even a musical with several vocal tracks. I assure you, although misleading this movie is definitely anime.
I enjoyed this movie; it's cute. The most impressive aspect is the animation! The animators were serious about mimicking Disney's quality. If you're a fan of the NES game, I think you should definitely watch this. Or even if you love wholesome family entertainment, you'd enjoy this movie for that reason as well.
