The Bechdel Test is a Useful Notes page, so it\'s not actually a trope.

''Nemo'' (released in some countries under the title ''Dream One'') is a [[TheEighties 1984]] {{Fantasy}} film [[InNameOnly loosely based on]] ''{{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, {{Zorro}}, and Literature/{{Alice in Wonderland}} -- 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/{{Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea}}''). The film has a dream-like feel to it -- it's very surreal and in parts, [[NightmareFuel somewhat creepy]].

!!This film provides examples of:
* 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.
* TheBechdelTest: Passes due to a brief conversation between Alice and Duchka.
* 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.
* CaptainErsatz: 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.

* 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.
* KilledOffForReal: [[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]]).

* 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.
