History Anime / LittleNemoAdventuresInSlumberLand

* NiceHat: Both Flip and the Professor have nice top hats.

Was released on Blu-Ray Disc in 2012, this time with the original Japanese audio as an option.

** King Morpheus has frequently protected Slumberland from the Nightmares of Nightmareland. [[spoiler:He even sealed their king away years ago]].

-->'''Nemo:''' Hey don't a apologize to me, apologize to my rat, [[OhCrap OOPS!]].

* HumanPackMule: Flip is demoted to carrying luggage after the gang finds better and more knowledgeable guides to escort them through Nightmareland.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Nearly the case for Nemo, who makes up for releasing the Nightmare King by using the Royal Scepter against him, despite knowing doing so could kill him. Fortunately, thanks to Morpheus, he gets better...

* WouldHurtAChild: When Nemo and the Boomps finally reach his lair, Nightmare King tortures Camille to lure Nemo out of hiding. [[spoiler:It works]]. Since she's locked in a crystal pillar, we never find out what effect the torture was having on her, but maybe it's for the best that we don't.

* SinisterStingrays: The [[BigBad Nightmare King]] has a large flying stingray who serves as his [[TheDragon right hand man]]. This manta ray is easily the most dangerous of the Nightmare King?s servants; spying on the heroes when they enter Nightmare Land, nearly killing Nemo multiple times in the final battle, and in its dying actions manages to destroy Nemo's flying bed.

* ButYouWereThereAndYouAndYou: Nemo sees people very similar in appearance and mannerisms to the characters he meets in Slumberland at the beginning when he goes to watch a circus parade.

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: Icarus, the flying squirrel.

* ChaoticNeutral: Flip.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** So, Princess Camille orders Nemo to her palace from his bed in order to become her "playmate"? Given that they set about training him to be a prince, and bequeathed one of their most powerful defenses to him, it seems they'd be looking for a lot more out of him when he'll get older.
** The "sitting in a tree inside cloud/dandelion/cotton candy puffs with clothes strewn about" snippet is certainly worth mentioning, as Nemo and Camille would ''probably'' have had to have seen each other naked at some point for them to end up like that.
** When Nemo "[[DreamWithinADream wakes up]]" the first time he sits up in bed, then looks under the covers with a shocked expression to find the royal sceptre.
** Flip accidentally grabbing Camille's chest. See ThanksForTheMammary.

* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Nemo for opening the door. It was partially Flip's fault too.]]

It was produced in the late Eighties by Creator/TMSEntertainment 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, which was re-released in 2005 as part of the ''Biggs' Adventure''[[note]]later known as Kidtoons[[/note]] matinee series. This film also served as the basis for ''Nemo'' and ''VideoGame/LittleNemoTheDreamMaster'', two Creator/{{Capcom}}-developed video games for the arcade and UsefulNotes/{{NES}}, respectively, in 1990. The latter ultimately became [[AdaptationDisplacement more well-known than the both the film and the comic itself.]]

* PajamaCladHero: Nemo spends most of his adventure clad in plain white pajamas.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Nearly the case for Nemo, who makes up for releasing the Nightmare King by using the Royal Scepter against him, despite knowing doing so could kill him. Fortunately, he gets better...

* BittersweetEnding: {{YMMV}} on this one, but while Nemo does learn the importance of both keeping promises and taking responsibility for them if he breaks them, the friends he made in Slumberland are not real as everything was just part of his dream.

* CoolCrown: Princess Camille dons one of these for Nemo's coronation ceremony.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Nemo]].

** The "sitting in a tree inside cloud/dandelion/cotton candy puffs with clothes strewn about" snippet is certainly worth mentioning, as Nemo and Camille would ''probably'' have had to have seen each other naked at some point for them to end up like that. (Which also means they at least know what gender Bon Bon is!)

* GoodParents: Besides looking for an heir, the reason King Morpheus invites Nemo to Slumberland is so his daughter will have someone to play with because she's lonely.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Nemo knew full well he'd likely die if used the scepter's full power, but he did so anyway to save King Morpheus and the Princess. Thankfully, he gets better soon after, thanks to the former.]]

* MissingMom: Princess Camille's mother or what happened to her is never explored. But we can naturally guess the likely reason.

* MoodSwinger: The Nightmare King is quite temperamental. TO say the least.

* SceneryPorn: If you like Studio Ghibli's penchant for prettiness, you'll like this. Hardly surprising, since one of the creative minds behind the project was the legendary comics artist Creator/{{Moebius}}.
** To say nothing of the guy who created the original Little Nemo comics. Scenery Porn hardly begins to describe Creator/WinsorMcCay.
