Little Nemo is about a boy that dreams and has adventures of himself when he dreams. He enters a magical kingdom called Slumberland. Declared by the King, Nemo is deemed a companion and playmate to the princess of the kingdom. Nemo becomes a friend and a promised prince of the kingdom. All is well till he meets a clown named Flip and his companion the Imp, who turn things topsy turvy.
The comic is pretty postive and humor based, but the animated movie provides a darker approach. Nemo has nightmares until he embarks into Slumberland. Nemo is greeted well as if he was in a great dream. Like the comic, Nemo becomes a friend and a promised prince of the kingdom to the princess and King. All is well till he meets a clown named Flip, who once again turn things topsy turvy, but this time accidently releases an evil nightmare which plagues Slumberland and is the cause Nemos nightmares....
I won't it spoil anymore. I'll let you watch the movie and enjoy the story yourself.
It really is a good movie. The sounds and music really add suspense as well as the characters own duet performances.
Enjoy the Dreams, but beware of the Nightmare :)
Here is Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland:
Another good comic strip I wish to add is the Adventures of Tintin (Once again not to mistaken by a relative name Rin Tin Tin, the dog). After class I got into a little conversation about Tintin with professor Santiago and I think that it resembles a likeness to Little Nemo in the comic art within the 1920's. What I like about Tintin is simple drawing techniques. For example Tintins head doesn't do anlot of change wihtin shape. It retains structure of the sphere shape on the eyes, nose, and when he moves. Hergé really uses simple ink drawn techniques to simulate both motion and animation.
Created by a french artist, Georges Prosper Remi (aka Hergé). Tintin made first appearance in Le Petit Vingtième, a children's supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le XXe Siècle on January, 10, 1929.
Tintin is about a Belgium reporter who goes on wild adventures to find treasures, stop illegal activity, and help his fellow friends, his dog snowy (French: Milou), two inspectors Thompson and Tomson, a clumsy professor Cuthbert Calculus, and a drunk captain Archibald Haddock.
Sadly I never could get into the comics as much when I was little for they were hard to find, but I remember when I was little about 8, (1993). They showed the Tintin series on Nickelodeon. Interesting that many Nickeodeon series weren't censored during those times like Kablam, Weinerville, Ren and Stimpy. Those are also good shows.
Anyway before I go off topic. Here is the link to a good episode of Tintin, which also happens to be my favorite episode due to the vast story depth and awesome conflict Tintin has with two thieves, whom are bumbling about for a stolen idol. Yeah the story may seem a little cliche but for me it was a fan fav. I liked it when I was little and still think it is still great today, especially the music.
See if you can spot Hergé in the Broken Ear. Tell me the Times :)
