Netflix's latest animated feature, In Your Dreams, follows two young siblings as they slip into a vivid dream world to find the mythical Sandman and repair their family. Director Alex Woo makes his feature debut after carving out a name as a story artist on Pixar hits Cars 2 and The Incredibles 2, bringing a distinctive blend of whimsy, heart, and cinematic storytelling to this dream-filled adventure. Woo has cited childhood visits to Chuck E. Cheese venues and Disney’s It’s a Small World ride as major influences shaping the film’s playful visuals, rhythmic color palettes, and immersive world-building. The story centers on resilience, sibling bonds, and hope as the siblings navigate surreal landscapes and face challenges that test their family ties. Visually, In Your Dreams pairs candy-bright dreamscapes with emotionally resonant moments, inviting audiences of all ages to reflect on family, imagination, and the healing power of dreams. As a Netflix original animation, the film reinforces the platform’s commitment to original, family-friendly adventures that blend inventive storytelling with character-driven emotion, delivering a magical, accessible experience for both kids and adults.
