All Just a Dream: Difference between revisions

 

 

* Some have suggested that the events of ''[[The Polar Express]]'' were all just a dream, though others feel that the presence of the bell from Santa's sleigh as a present for the Hero Boy signifies that they were really real.

* Poor poor ''[[An American Tail|Fievel Goes West]]'', written off as a dream Fievel had in the third ''An American Tail'' movie. Which is a headbanger [[Retcon]] as there was an entire TV series with the Wild West theme that aired prior to the third movie. What, was Fievel in a coma or something? The dream lasted a whole TV series!

* ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' is the most famous film example, of course, though there is a ''wee'' bit of room for alternate interpretation. It should be noted that in the book it is definite that Oz '''was''' real and Dorothy returns there several times in other books; Oz was changed to an elaborate dream in the film because producers [[Viewers are Morons|felt that the 1930s audience was too sophisticated to accept a straight on fantasy like that]].

* Two of Laurel and Hardy's short films used this example: ''The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case'' and ''Oliver the Eighth''.

* The first twenty minutes of the ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]] II'' remake ends up being nothing more than a nightmare that the main character was having.

* The last third of ''[[Repo Men]]'' - {{spoiler|in the last two minutes or so, it's revealed that Remy suffered brain damage from getting hit in the face by a hook, and Jake then had Remy hooked up to the M5 Neural Net to live the rest of his life in happiness - everything that happens between the hook to the face and the reveal is part of the happy illusion Remy is living because of the neural net.}}
