A lavishly animated, dazzling pilot for what I can only assume would've been Japan's answer to Disney's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, or conversely the 1939 adaptation of the Wizard of Oz. Such a movie would've been too good for this world. The great irony of the situation is the realization that such a lush movie about dreams became little more than a fantastical dream itself. If you're reading this, I'm sure you already know that Little Nemo cost a fortune, went through years of production hell, emerged with little more than a superficial resemblance to its gorgeous pilots, and completely bombed in both America andJapan. Tokyo Movie Shinsha hasn't tried to produce anything this ambitious since, and everyone is worse off for it.
