Nov 18, 2022 · In the end, the biggest problem with “Slumberland” is its utter innocuousness. Because it is bright, noisy, and things are constantly happening, little kids might like it as a momentary distraction—but it certainly won’t inspire them to check out McCay’s original work for themselves. That's a shame because, despite the aforementioned ...

Paced well and wild graphics. Pretty intense story line, including loss of the main characters father and disturbing dreams, but compared to other offerings in the movie culture pretty mild in comparison. Themes were present that would entertain adults as well as kids. Kids listed in review are actually grandkids ages 7, 13 and 15.

Slumberland is a rare Netflix movie that offers up plenty of entertaining moments.
If you’ve ever wanted to see Jason Momoa hamming it up as an amalgamation of every fantastical troublemaker in recent cinematic history, Slumberland is for you. The DC favourite is a hoot as a peculiarly-dressed satyr who forms an unlikely and literal dream team with Marlow Barkley’s orphaned tween in a kids caper that, unlike most Netflix originals, looks sumptuous enough to hit the big screen. Admittedly, this extremely loose adaptation of Winsor McCay’s early 20th century comic strips is a case of style over substance, with its central themes of love and loss barely touched upon. But the spectacle alone is still worthy of a place in your queue.
