Synopsis
Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland was released in American theaters in 1992. However, at one point earlier in its development many people from Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro) had been involved with the project. In 1984 they produced a test pilot. In 1987, Osamu Dezaki directed a third one (as a very first one was made by Sadao Tsukioka in the mid-1970s).

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.
