Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989)

An animated Japanese-American film about a young boy's adventures in a magical dreamland. More complicated than it sounds, this movie is a real gem; it's well-written, well-drawn, has likable characters and a nice mix of comedy and drama. Despite positive reviews, it bombed at the box office. I found it pretty much by accident while researching an old music video, which turned out to be loosely based on the original source material, which in turn led me to the movie. Strange how well that worked out. Incidentally, the source material was a newspaper comic strip titled Little Nemo in Slumberland, first published in 1905, over a hundred years ago. Seems to have withstood the test of time rather well.

YouTube has the full uncut version in 1080 HD, linked above. Runtime is just under 95 minutes.
