Dreaming of Paradise

About This Movie

Dreaming of Paradise is this curious animated piece from 1987 that really leans into its environmental themes. Set in a future where the surface of Earth is uninhabitable, it captures the despair and hope of a group of kids living underground. The animation style has this gritty charm, almost like it’s reflecting the polluted world these characters inhabit. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the dream-like quality. The creature that 'Walks on Air' is such a fascinating element, serving as both a guide and a metaphor for finding hope in darkness. It’s not just a kids’ movie; it digs deep into the consequences of neglecting our planet. Definitely a unique find for collectors interested in animation with a message.
