In Your Dreams: Simu Liu Is Manifesting a Kinder World
Netflix’s In Your Dreams is a heartfelt and hilariously surreal animated adventure that explores love, family, and imagination. The comedy-fantasy delves into the wild world of sibling dreams, stuffed animals, and second chances.
Written and directed by Alex Woo, the film follows Stevie (Jolie Hoang-Rappaport) and her brother Elliot (Elias Janssen) on a magical journey through their dreams to heal their fractured family. They meet a snarky stuffed giraffe named Baloney Tony (Craig Robinson), the mysterious Sandman (Omid Djalili), the unpredictable Queen of Nightmares Nightmara (Gia Carides), and their loving but complicated parents voiced by Simu Liu and Cristin Milioti.
