In Your Dreams: A Netflix Nightmare
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. In Your Dreams (2025) Alex Woo I like to get ahead of the game when it comes to Oscar-nominated movies, so I’ve been checking Variety’s list of predictions and gave In Your Dreams, one of their Best Animated Feature predictions, a go.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie: A Hidden Animated Gem That I Fear May Stay Hidden
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) Peter Browngardt What has this world come to that I was the only one in the theater on opening night of a new, 2D animated Looney Tunes movie? I would say we don’t get movies like these today, but here it is: a movie like this, today! The Day The Earth Blew Up was delightful from start to finish, making far…
