''Nemo'' (released in some countries under the title ''Dream One'') is a [[TheEighties 1984]] {{Fantasy}} film [[InNameOnly loosely based on]] ''[[ComicStrip/LittleNemo Little Nemo in Slumberland]]''.

It begins with the [[CharacterTitle eponymous]] main character's parents going out to the opera. Their butler, Benjamin promises to tell Nemo a bedtime story involving rocket ships, {{Franchise/Zorro}}, and Literature/AliceInWonderland -- but before Benjamin has a chance to tell the story, Nemo gets out of bed and goes into an elevator which takes him to a beach on a world where it's always twilight during the daytime. There he encounters several strange characters, including Princess Alice of Yonderland, The Legend (a CaptainErsatz of Zorro), and a mysterious alien named Rals-Akrai (who arrives in a rocket ship). A significant portion of the story takes place in the Nautilus (the submarine from ''Literature/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea''). The film has a dream-like feel to it -- it's very surreal and in parts, [[NightmareFuel somewhat creepy]].

Not to be confused with ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''.

!!''Nemo'' provides examples of the following tropes:

%% * AliceAllusion
%% * AllJustADream: Possibly [[AvertedTrope averted]]; the ending implies that the events of the film really did happen.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Boris initially ''seems'' like he might be an example of this trope (one of the first things he does is [[DisproportionateRetribution shoot Cunegond for stealing a necklace from his tent]]), but later in the film he is shown in a much more sympathetic light.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: A mixed-gender example; Nemo is the blond, Alice is the brunette, and Cunegond is the redhead.
%% * BrotherSisterIncest: Boris's relationship with Duchka might not be 100% platonic.
* ButYouWereThereAndYouAndYou: Mr. Rip, Cunegond, Boris, and Duchka are played by the same actors as Benjamin, the elevator operator, and Nemo's parents, respectively.
%% * Captain Ersatz: The Legend.
* ChekhovsGun: The Nautilus spends most of the film stuck on the beach. [[spoiler:When the beach floods at the end, Nemo and Monkey use it to sail to Yonderland]].
%% * ComingOfAgeStory
%% * CoolShip: The Nautilus, of course.
%% * DanceOfRomance: Duchka and The Legend.
%% * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Monkey]]
%% * ADogNamedDog: Subverted with Monkey, who is actually an ape.
%% * DownTheRabbitHole
%% * {{Fainting}}: Alice faints a few times.
%% * GainaxEnding
%% * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Rals-Akrai
%% * HealingHands: Mr. Rip heals Cunegond's gunshot wound.
%% * InexplicablyAwesome: Mr. Rip
* IntellectualAnimal: Monkey seems to be this (despite Cunegond insisting otherwise), although he has difficulty communicating with the other characters due to not being a TalkingAnimal.
%% * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Cunegond shows signs of this.
%% * Killed Off ForReal: [[spoiler:Boris]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: When he first sees Alice, Nemo gushes over how beautiful she is. Later on, Duchka has a similar reaction when she first sees The Legend.
* LoveDodecahedron: First Nemo falls in love with Alice, then The Legend falls in love with Alice, then Alice falls in love with Nemo (after he gets a PlotRelevantAgeUp), then Duchka falls in love with The Legend, [[BrotherSisterIncest which makes Boris]] ''[[BrotherSisterIncest very]]'' [[BrotherSisterIncest jealous]] (and speaking of Boris, one throwaway line implies that he might have a bit of a crush on Rals-Akrai).
%% * ManChild: Nemo, after his PlotRelevantAgeUp. Which makes sense since he probably still has the mind of a little kid.
%% * MayDecemberRomance: Nemo and Alice ([[PlotRelevantAgeUp sort of]]).
%% * MindScrew: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since the story runs on dream logic.
%% * Names The Same: In-universe example. Nemo [[LampshadeHanging points out]] that he has the same name as the captain of the Nautilus.
%% * NonHumanSidekick: Monkey
* PajamaCladHero: Subverted; Nemo wears pajamas at first, but he soon gets a different outfit.
%% * PantomimeAnimal: Monkey
%% * PlotRelevantAgeUp: Nemo (most likely to keep his romance with Alice from being {{Squick}}y).
%% * PrincessClassic: Alice
%% * RescueRomance: Nemo and Alice.
* ShirtlessScene: At the end of the film, Nemo takes his shirt off for no apparent reason.
