'''''Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland''''' is an AnimatedAdaptation of the ComicStrip ''[[ComicStrip/LittleNemo Little Nemo in Slumberland]]'' by Creator/WinsorMcCay. In it, a young boy named Nemo travels to Slumberland in his dreams after receiving an invitation from Princess Camille. There he is trained to become the new prince. But, under the bad influence of the trickster clown Flip, Nemo inadvertently unleashes the Nightmare King, and has to save King Morpheus after he's kidnapped and taken to Nightmareland.

* OhNoNotAgain: During the song about training Nemo to be a prince, the horse that Nemo tries riding on flips him off his seat and onto the fat dancing lady from a few minutes before, who catches him, and he says, "Not again!".

It was produced in the late Eighties by TokyoMovieShinsha in Japan, where it was released in 1989 with limited release in the US. In 1992 a re-cut edition was released in the US. This film also served as the basis for ''Nemo'' and ''VideoGame/LittleNemoTheDreamMaster'', two {{Capcom}}-developed video games for the arcade and {{NES}}, respectively, in 1990.

In the movie... it's a little less clear. S/he's voiced by a female, but that's quite common for young male characters as well. The longer hair and pastel clothes mean nothing in this film.
