Netflix has just released the first teaser trailer for In Your Dreams, an eagerly awaited animated movie set to premiere this fall. This fresh take on the popular “what if dreams came to life” theme promises a unique blend of comedy and adventure, inviting audiences to journey into the fantastical and unpredictable world of dreams.
In Your Dreams follows Stevie and her younger brother Elliot as they navigate the bizarre and whimsical landscape of their own subconscious. From battling a sarcastic stuffed giraffe to dodging zombie breakfast foods and confronting the formidable queen of nightmares, the siblings’ quest to reunite their family forms the heart of this film’s narrative. Their ultimate prize? The Sandman’s promise to grant their deepest wish — a perfect family.
The film, directed by animation filmmaker Alex Woo in his feature directorial debut, offers a vibrant and imaginative story co-written by Woo and Erik Benson. The project boasts an impressive voice cast including Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Stevie, Elias Janssen as Elliot, alongside Craig Robinson, Simu Liu, and Cristin Milioti. The musical score is composed by John Debney, while animation duties are shared between Kuku Studios and Sony Pictures Imageworks, highlighting the collaboration of some of the film industry’s leading creative talents.
Premiering at the prestigious Annecy Film Festival in France, the teaser has already generated buzz among animation enthusiasts for its quirky and visually captivating style. The movie taps into the rich vein of adventure movie plots where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, offering viewers an enchanting experience without leaving their living rooms.
Set to debut on Netflix streaming from November 14, 2025, In Your Dreams is poised to join the ranks of recent successful dream-themed productions, such as Pixar’s Dream Productions series on Disney+ and the recent Slumberland movie. Fans of imaginative storytelling and dynamic movie characters will likely find this upcoming release a compelling addition to their watchlist.
