Review by The Ninja Master

This animated movie is a trip.  I enjoyed it, but I enjoy movies that are weird.  I think in general, people will hate this movie.  It's just too strange for most people to get into, or even know what the hell is going on.

THINGS THIS MOVIE CONTAINED:  A crazy parade of mixed dream denizens, dream manipulating psychopaths, a creepy doll that is actually a dream-manifestation of...something crazy, I think.

THINGS THIS MOVIE DID NOT CONTAIN:  The Pillsbury Doughboy, clips from Married With Children, Spongebob Squarepants.  Untrue Fact:  Magicians in the 17th Century used to whisper lines from this movie into their hypnotized patients' ears to keep them from waking.

The Review:  Like I said above, this movie is strange.  Very, very strange.  One of the strangest movies I've ever seen, really.  It can be extremely hard to follow if you aren't paying close attention, and just normal hard to follow if you are.  It's all about dreams, and you know how movies like that are.  A device has been developed that allows dreams to be entered, and it has been stolen.  If you, like me, enjoy strange movies that are abstract (but not the artsy crap, this isn't pretentious abstract) then you will enjoy this.  Much of it takes places within people's dreams, and all of it is freaking crazy.  You'll like the deeper ideas behind the perception of reality, and what separates waking thought from dreams. BUT, I must say again that I strongly believe the vast majority of people will HATE this movie and could do nothing worse to themselves than to suffer through it.

Complaints:  The title of the movie made me hungry.  Please choose titles carefully, movie studios, lest I salivate to dehydration while watching.

On a side note: The Ninja Master actually invaded his own dreams, discovered they were about himself, then FREAKED THE HELL OUT.  Just kidding.  I don't actually sleep, anyway.
