Released on World Dream Day, the trailer teases surreal visuals, twisted dream logic, and the heart at the center of every good adventure.
A Whirlwind Through the Sleeping Mind
Stevie and Elliot aren’t exactly best friends, but they’ll have to rely on each other when they fall asleep and land in a dimension where nothing makes sense. To escape, they must face off with a talking stuffed giraffe, evil zombie waffles, and the queen of nightmares herself. If they survive the chaos, the Sandman promises to grant their biggest wish.
The voice cast includes Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elias Janssen, Craig Robinson, Simu Liu, Cristin Milioti, Omid Djalili, Gia Carides, SungWon Cho, and Zachary Noah Piser. The score is composed by John Debney.
In Your Dreams is A Decade in the Making
In Your Dreams was born when director Alex Woo left Pixar to co-found Kuku Studios. It became one of the studio’s earliest creative sparks, and now, ten years later, it’s ready to hit the screen.
“Dreams have always fascinated me,” Woo said. “Making this movie gave me the chance to explore them in the most fun and fantastical ways I could imagine.”
