At the center of the story are Stevie and her younger brother Elliot, two siblings who find themselves swept into the surreal and unpredictable world of their own dreams. What begins as a strange nighttime adventure quickly turns into a race against time as they navigate a landscape filled with trolling stuffed giraffes, zombie breakfast foods, and the fearsome queen of nightmares. If they can face these bizarre challenges, they’ll earn a visit from the legendary Sandman who holds the key to granting their biggest dream of all: the perfect family.
Brought to life through the beautiful animation of Kuku Studios and Sony Pictures Imageworks, this film combines stunning visuals with a touching, family-friendly narrative. The musical score, composed by John Debney, elevates each scene with emotion and energy, while the talented voice cast featuring Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elias Janssen, Craig Robinson as Baloney Tony(who you will fall in love with), Simu Liu, Cristin Milioti, Omid Djalili, Gia Carides, SungWon Cho, and Zachary Noah Piser—brings warmth and personality to every character.
More than just a fun adventure, the film is a celebration of imagination, courage, and the unbreakable bond between siblings. It poses a compelling question to audiences of all ages: what would you do if the Sandman came calling. In this dreamlike journey, one thing is clear sometimes, the wildest adventures bring us closer to what matters most.
