In nuce: VFX service provider Scanline has released a three-and-a-half-minute VFX breakdown for the fantasy film Slumberland (German title: Schlummerland).
In toto: The film Slumberland is available via the streaming service Netflix. The film was directed by Francis Lawrence, who previously made the Tribute to Panem films Catching Fire, Mockingjay Part and Part 2 – as well as the sci-fi film I Am Legend (starring Will Smith), the mystery thriller Constantine (with Keanu Reeves) and the drama Water for Elephants (with Christoph Waltz as the film villain). For Slumberland, the filmmakers used the comic series Little Nemo (German title: Kleiner Niemand) by comic artist Winsor McCay as a model. The film is about a girl called Nemo who attends a regular school for the first time in her life after the death of her father – and soon discovers a secret map to the dream world of Slumberland. Nemo, accompanied by the crazy Flip (played by Jason Momoa), sets off to see her deceased father again in the dream world.
