My girls and I have been sick lately, so we have been spending a lot of time on the couch, watching movies and resting.  One movie that I have found the girls asking to watch over and over again, which hit store shelves last month (October 6th) is "The Sandman and the Lost Sand of Dreams" from Shout! Factory Kids.  This movie is unlike other animated movies I have seen before. 

This story follows a little boy named Miko who is brought from the real world to Dreamland, to help the Sandman get back the dreamland sand from the evil Habumar.  Habumar is the master of nightmares and monsters, is looking to take over Dreamland and turns all dreams into nightmares. But, it takes some encouragement to show Miko that he can do this.  

Overcoming his fears and shyness, Miko embraces the power of dreams and sets out on an epic adventure to defeat Habumar and his evil gang and return the dreamland sand back to Dreamland where it belongs.  This is truly a wonderful family-friendly film that you will enjoy sitting down to watch with your family. Afterwards, you can talk about fears and how to overcome them with your children, as well as believing in yourself, like Miko did.


Not only was the story truly inspiring and fun to watch, but we especially loved how Miko turned from a real boy into an animated puppet when brought to Dreamland by the Sandman.   If you are looking for a wonderful family-friendly movie to watch with your whole family, then you must check out "The Sandman and the Lost Sand of Dreams," available now on DVD.
