Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 07/18/2020
2/5
The dreams depicted here are all annoyingly soft-focus and Dalí-esque, with floating chessboards and multicoloured light shows. Go to Full Review

If you just wanted to plonk everyone down in front of pretty shapes and colours for 80 minutes, then Dreambuilders will serve you on the same level as the loop-the-loops of last year's equally middling Wonder Park... Go to Full Review

Dreambuilders is a stunning, charming animated adventure about a girl who discovers a secret portal through which she can control other people’s dreams. Go to Full Review

2/4
While there's some imagination shown in creating the dream world, the characters are strictly subpar Pixar and Illumination wannabes (particularly the blue minions who inhabit the dreamscape). Go to Full Review
Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut 02/10/2021
2.5/5
Danish animated family film about dreams and family tension. Great to watch, but not a great deal to think about. Go to Full Review
James Croot The Post NZ 01/12/2021
3.5/5
Not everyone will be a fan of the chunky animation style and admittedly the rendering isn't always seamless, but there's enough laughs, intrigue and innovation to ensure the slim running-time flies by. Go to Full Review

Stephanie M Oct 12 Character actually says - 'Make me want to kill myself.' Actually astounded and distracted this is allowed to be marketed and rated a children's movie. See more 09/16/2024 Don't get me wrong, this movie wasn't bad, but I was left with many unanswered questions. Is the mom ever coming back? Why didn't the mom bring along the family? I mean it's not like the mother couldn't have achieved her dream if she brought along the family. Also, why even add the mother if she wasn't a major part of the movie, she was also brought up maybe three times. Also, i'm not sure why the guinea pig was such a big deal in the movie, why did they think it was a rat anyways? Everything else was fine. See more Kayseas R 04/30/2024 It's a very cute movie and on repeat in my house. It gives way to a common theme within communities. See more SILENT D 03/18/2024 I enjoyed the movie. It's interesting. People should watch it. I won't spoil it. I watched it in English to the characters mouths seem a bit off to me but overall id most likely watch it again. See more Toyah F 03/07/2024 Wouldn't personally rate it universal when there was a comment about suicide on the girls pictures. See more Peter W 07/08/2023 Overall, this film certainly brings a great concept to the screen. This film is visually pleasing, particularly when viewers witness the world of dream creation. As a film many child viewers will undoubtedly find the movie quite satisfying. As an adult, I found this film to contain unlikeable characters and similar voice work to other animated films. The film also rushes all character resolutions, which ultimately feels weak. Dreambuilders delivers new concepts, to be sure, but these concepts are mixed in with ingredients that are far too familiar, along with soft leads. See more Read all reviews
