It is to get Oscar in Netflix in your dreams with a story of jaw

Since the Oscars were added to the best animated feature in 2001, it has been long assumed that the winner would come from one of the strengths of the industry: Disney, Pixar, or Dreamworks Animation. For most of the category history, this assumption was true. However, over the past three years, Oscar has gone to another place. Netflix stumbled on the statue in 2022 for “Guilllermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio”, Studio Ghibli won Best Award in 2023 for “The Boy and The Heron”, and the award ceremony last year Make the date of animation When the “flow” was released independently Film higher than a year. These victories determine a calm but meaningful transformation in recognition of the Academy of Animation: though The underlying problems showed by the academy perspective in the animated cinemaArt, innovation and emotional depth are no longer confined to the main studios.

NETFLIX has emerged, in particular, as a dangerous competitor in this advanced scene. To date, the private broadcast giant got seven nominations in the category of the best animation features, with one victory (it can be said that an additional victory must have been overwhelmed by “The Mitchells Vs. The Machines”, a movie that may be everywhere everywhere “Encanto” has been overwhelmed). Now, all eyes are on the following animation feature, “in your dreams”, which seems to be already on a way confident towards nomination number eight.

The film is followed by Stevi (expressed by Jolie Huang Rapaport) and her younger brother Elliot (Elias Yansen), where their own dreams were swept to tracking Sandman Al-Maraj, who is preparing their dreams-if they can find it. They must navigate in the surreal landscapes that evoke both imagination and nightmares, with the beloved beloved giraffe from Elliot, Balloney Tony (Craig Robinson), which was an unlikely companion. The first promotional clip was presented for the first time at the Annecy International Animation Film this year, but I had the opportunity to preview the scenes extending at the Netflix Event. Director Alex Wu, who first appeared in his movie, spoke frankly through him, which is divided from work in some of the largest animation in the game to direct his first movie under the slogan of Kuku Studios.

Before the establishment of Alex Woo Studios, he won the Student Academy Award (for “Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher”, and worked as a story in Pixar for Animation Studios, and worked as a director of development in Lucasfilm Animation. Good Dinosaur and “Finding Dory”, where the former husband appeared with the best animated feature at the Oscars.

“At that time, we were a small team of three, imagining the types of stories that we wanted to see in the world,” said Wu. “One of our first ideas was a movie about Dreams (…) The film takes us through the surreal Dreamscapes, full of amazing pictures and fun characters, outside this world, but in his heart, it is an emotional story of two sisters that find their way across a world that is always meaningful.” The story is a personal for Woo, who explained that the dynamics of the brotherhood between Stevi and Elliet are based on his own relationship with his brother, and an experience had children when their parents went through a rough correction. “When I was six years old, in the cold morning of Minnesota, I woke up to find my mother in the front door with her bags packed,” he said.

“You told me kindly and my brother that she needed some time to know things for our family. I didn’t completely understand what it meant – but I knew everything is about to change. The world did not feel safe after that. The warning of that morning may awaken me to the fact that life is far from perfection.”

He is deeply intertwined in his private life, where Wu said a friend of his movie and his reaction was, “You know, this movie is just a really circular way that tells your brother that you love him.” Wu answered, “Making films is easier than dealing with your feelings.” By addressing an existential topic, “in your dreams” provides space for small masses to address more challenging topics, Something that has become very difficult to come.

Like many of us, Wu grew up on the films that told us that if we wish hard enough, and if we want something bad enough, our dreams will be fulfilled. But then we grow, and we realize that this is sometimes accurate … but sometimes it is not so. With this cruel reality looming on the horizon, it is difficult not to fall into nihilism. Wu also thought, “I really wanted to make a movie that explores the question about what you do when your dreams are not actually fulfilled? How do you find hope? How do you continue to move forward in life? How do you find a path?”

Wu explained that dreams in the moving space was the whale of every white studio, and a provision of something like “Inside Out” Dream Productions (which works like comedy in the workplace only It is happening To be in the release of Dreamland Film Studio), no one has been able to find a way to make Dream movie have classes. Once Wu and his team broke the idea, they jumped to get it to make sure they will be able to overcome their competitors. But the real catalyst was the same story. Wu said: “I made this film with the belief that the best way is with an open heart – that sometimes we need to give up what we dream should be and continue life as it is already.” “I hope that you and your family will only dream of dreaming, but to find joy throughout the moments of life, because even when he is messy, he is beautiful.”

The hypothesis is charming, but visual ambition and the narrative heart raises it beyond the ordinary. The footage that I saw and the above has revealed a film rich in building the world, the dynamics of the personalities on the ground emotionally, and a visual style that mixes the dreamer that resembles a dream with concrete warmth. If “in your dreams” meets the promise of its early shots, this may be more than just a rival of the upcoming Netflix Awards – this may be a sign that the family movie scene is finally expanding again, in the range and spirit.

It is scheduled to come out “in your dreams” on November 14, 2025, and it features audio shows from Craig Robinson, Simo Leo, Christine Milioti, Umid Dialle, Jia Karedes, Songon Chu and Zakari Noah Beider.
