Nemo

The film is based on Winsor McCay’s comic strip, Little Nemo in Slumberland. In this comic strip series, Flip guides a young boy, Nemo, as he goes through wild adventures in sleep, with each episode ending with him waking up from the dreams. Nemo and Flip go through many escapades together, so Netflix’s adaptation of the comic strip has a lot of stories to choose from, but they may have taken some creative liberties. For example, the movie follows a little girl instead of a boy.

The official synopsis of Slumberland reads:

A young girl discovers a secret map to the dreamworld of Slumberland, and with the help of an eccentric outlaw, she traverses dreams and flees nightmares, with the hope that sahe will be able to see her late father again.

Here is a longer logline for Slumberland

A young girl, Nema, with the help of a large half-man/half-monster creature, travels to a mystical land in her dreams in search of her missing Father. 11-year-old Nema lives in a lighthouse with her father, Peter, who has taught her how to sail. Sadly, Peter dies one night during a storm at sea. Nema is sent to live with her estranged uncle Philip, who is dull and nothing like Peter. Nema discovers a world called “Slumberland” in her dreams. She encounters Flip (Momoa), a creature who claims to have been an outlaw with Peter years ago, stealing things from other peoples’ dreams. Nema decides to go on an adventure with Flip when he claims to know a way that she can wish for her father back.
