Though this film deserves a full-blown special edition designed with adults in mind–or at the very least a book detailing its troubled production history–the best treatment it’s had to date was the 2004 TMS/Funimation/Our Time Family Entertainment DVD from 2004. That disc has long been out of print and fetching inflated prices via eBay and various Amazon Marketplace sellers.

But now it’s back. And despite Amazon incorrectly listing the aspect ratio as 1.33:1 and the distributor as Platinum Disc, rest assured that this is EXACTLY the same disc content as the 2004 edition: the film is presented in ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN, with 5.1 Surround Sound (plus a basic Stereo option) plus all the extras from the original release, which are decidedly aimed at children unfortunately. You get: static-screen character profiles; a Slumberland Singalong featuring three songs from the film; a “Make Your Own Royal Scepter” craft project (text frames) and four trailers, one of which is for a computer-animated children’s feature called A WOBOTS CHRISTMAS that looked so horrendously out-of-date even in 2004 that it could only be a Christian film, plus three other trailers for much better productions: the likewise computer-generated Canadian feature SANTA CLAUS BROTHERS (2001), the flat-animated short NOEL NOEL (also from Canada), and a lengthy spot for one of the early ARTHUR DVDs.
As with the Funimation edition, the packaging states the film runs 100 minutes, while the film itself actually runs 95 minutes. No big deal, and at least it’s not the heavily cut version that appeared in the days of VHS.

But the real gem here is, as mentioned, the WIDESCREEN presentation of the vastly underrated LITTLE NEMO. If you’re a fan of either American, Disney-style animation, or Japanese, Miyazaki-style anime, you OWE it to yourself to pick up this budget-priced release to see what you missed.
If you’re looking for proper extras, your best bet these days is YouTube, where you can find several “Making of” features from around the time of the film’s release (look for these ones: =mhS6jPZvURI , =IJ6f81ZYIfI) as well as Osamu Dezaki’s 1987 pilot anime film (=fCLXfJFOlUY&NR=1) and the rare and spellbinding Miyazaki test footage (=fnL-6yLzgWA) that never made it to the final production once he left the project.
Fantastic to finally have this film back on DVD, and at a decent price to boot!
Bradbury and Giraud’s influences are obvious. The story is filled with goodwill and heart without being sentimental or maudlin. Little Nemo breaks a promise and unleashes the Nightmare King’s powers against his friends in Dreamland, and must face his terror to rescue them. The images of Dreamland are breathtaking. The jester-goblins are endearing. Flip’s character is a mischief and has many faults, but not of cynicism. There is no adult subtext, no disparagement or side cracks, no misplaced self-consciousness anywhere in this movie. It would appeal to lively, intelligent, creative children, and it would engage their parents’ interest and fancy too. I hope it is re-released soon.
