Director/co-screenwriter Alex Woo and co-director/co-screenwriter Erik Benson don’t break new ground, but do know how to tell an appealing, family-friendly story.

“In Your Dreams” is built around great swirling mounds of imagistic energy, yet it feels secondhand at its core.

3.5/5

With its positive message of embracing adversity rather than shying away from it, the movie is perfectly suited for kids who make up the primary audience of this film.

8.5/10

The new fun characters like Baloney Tony and relatable leads going through real issues makes for the perfect formula that shows that projects full of warmth and heart go a long way – especially in a time like this when we need it most.

I haven't seen every animated film in 2025, but this one stands out as one of the best. Current predictions have this film not getting nominated at the 98th Academy Awards, but in my estimation it should.

Absolutely loved this movie. This movie had many morden day jokes the movie had me laughing all the way especially the joke to do with 5g broadband 😂 this movie was heart-warming filled with loads of laughter and sends out a clear message no matter how shit life gets u still have family and they won't leave ya. Great animation. The only nit pick i have was towards the end, It got to whacky and stupid tho still very much enjoyed it👏👏

Adorable, funny and heartwarming movie! Netflix Animation Studios is giving Disney a run for their money! I love that it teaches children the importance of family and the power in two coming together. The only thing that is concerning is the chanting for Christian’s. Outside of that the movie was great! This movie really pulled on my heart strings most new movies don’t. Great job Netflix!
