Never seen this, but I recall Siskel not liking it at all.
 
One of the most disturbing films I can remember from being a kid. Definitely the stuff of nightmares! I don't remember it being as bad as the review lets on but hell, I haven't seen it since 1994.
 
I actually kind of like it. I remember when I was little I used to pretend that our garage was the door that Nemo wasn't suppose to open. I know I have it recorded on video somewhere, but I haven't seen it in the past seven or eight years. I was thinking about buying the DVD when I saw it at Fred Meyar the other day.
 
This movie has the distinction of being the only movie that scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. I could handle any movie they tossed at me (of course, I wasn't handed horror films), but "Little Nemo"? I ran straight out of the room like a wuss...
 
I can understand that this film is described as "nightmare fuel". As a little kid, I never made it past the first five minutes; that train is freaking scary! Nowadays, however, Little Nemo is one of my favorite animated films. I have the DVD (which, as it happens, is longer than the VHS version), and it charms me every time. It has a lot of scary moments, but it has a whimsy that is missing from many childrens' films today. I also like it because it doesn't talk down to young audiences; it's fairly sophisticated, with a solid but subtle message.
