Netflix has officially announced In Your Dreams: a hilarious and heartfelt animated comedy adventure set to premiere this fall. Directed by Alex Woo (Ratatouille, The Good Dinosaur) and co-directed by Erik Benson, the film is produced by Timothy Hahn and Gregg Taylor. The screenplay was written by Woo and Benson, based on a story by Woo and Stanley Moore.

Featuring an incredible voice cast—including Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elias Janssen, Craig Robinson, Simu Liu, Cristin Milioti, Omid Djalili, Gia Carides, SungWon Cho, and Zachary Noah Piser—In Your Dreams takes audiences on a wild journey through the absurd and magical world of dreams.

About the Film
Stevie and her younger brother Elliot stumble into the bizarre, hilarious, and sometimes terrifying landscape of their own dreams. Along the way, they must survive a snarky stuffed giraffe, zombie breakfast foods, and the queen of nightmares herself. But if they can make it through the madness, the legendary Sandman might grant them their ultimate wish—the perfect family.

From the Director & Writer: Alex Woo
“When I started this film I set out to tell a heartfelt story that explored the magical and often hilariously absurd world of dreams. What I didn’t expect was how memorable and emotional the performances were going to be. I guess that’s what happens when you’re lucky enough to work with such an extraordinary cast!”

“Cristin is an EGOT-level talent. She can sing. She can act. I haven’t seen her dance, but I’m sure she could give Ginger Rogers a run for her money. You believe every performance Cristin gives and that’s every director’s dream come true.’

“Jolie and Elias are the heart and soul of this movie. They truly carry the film, which is remarkable for any actor, but even more so for performers their age. Each recording session felt like playtime, and I hope audiences have as much fun watching the film as we had making it.”

From the Cast:
Cristin Milioti (MOM): “As someone whose worldview was heavily influenced by the animation I devoured as a kid, I’m excited to be a part of Alex Woo’s moving and tender film.”

Simu Liu (DAD): “I was absolutely moved reading the script for In Your Dreams, and I’m so incredibly honored to be cast alongside the incredible Cristin Milioti.”

Craig Robinson (BALONEY TONY): “So excited to dust off my favorite toy and be a part of this dream world full of Baloney…Tony! Can’t wait for everyone to come on the adventure!”
