No snowflakes around here yet, but this is officially the first film of the 2025 post-Thanksgiving, Snowpocalypse Weekend. In Your Dreams is an animated film currently streaming on Netflix after a short week length release in theaters.

According to IMDB, “Stevie and her little brother Elliot journey into the wildly absurd landscape of their own dreams to ask the Sandman to grant them the perfect family.”

The film has some very deep and potentially troublesome themes that could trigger some. However, the brightness and colorful animation makes even the hardest topics palatable.

The voice over cast included Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elias Janssen, Craig Robinson, Simu Liu, Cristin Milioti, Gia Carides, Omid Djalili, and SungWon Cho.

I thought this was a pretty decent animated movie. It had some fun and some drama, with a serious topic that the characters dealt with in the story.

I thought that the music was really solid in the film. I loved the use of some of the well known Sandman songs.

The character designs are well done and the dream world was creative and clever.

In Your Dreams was a nice animated movie for a snowy day (or soon to be snowy day).
