In Your Dreams

In Your Dreams (2025) is a Netflix animated adventure comedy about siblings Stevie and Elliot, voiced by Jolie Hoang-Rappaport and Elias Janssen, who are struggling with the possibility that their family is changing. When they discover a way into the dream world, the pair set out on a surreal journey to find the Sandman, hoping he can make their biggest wish come true: keeping their family together. Along the way, they move through bizarre dreamscapes filled with colorful creatures, absurd obstacles, and shifting logic, including the presence of Baloney Tony, a stuffed toy who becomes a memorable guide and comic presence. The film blends fantasy, humor, and emotional stakes, with the siblings' bond at the center of the story. It is directed by Alex Woo and Erik Benson and was released on Netflix in November 2025.

Reception has been broadly positive, with critics and audiences praising the film's imagination, emotional warmth, and family-friendly appeal, while noting that some comedy beats land better than others. Rotten Tomatoes is reported at 86%, suggesting strong critical approval, while IMDb shows a 6.5/10 and Metacritic is listed at 59/100, pointing to a more mixed or moderate consensus overall. Several reviews highlight the film's visual inventiveness and heartfelt sibling story, and one review described it as a sweet animated tale with a strong adventure core and a surprisingly satisfying ending. At the same time, some commentary suggests the humor can be uneven, especially when compared with the stronger emotional and fantasy elements. Overall, In Your Dreams seems to have connected best as an inventive, tender animated movie for families rather than a universally acclaimed blockbuster. (anz.newonnetflix.info)
