A longtime storyboard artist for Pixar and various other animated projects, Alexander Woo makes his feature-length directorial debut with “In Your Dreams.” Also scripting the movie with Erick Benson, Woo remains in line with the usual in family entertainment, creating a tale of youthful empowerment and fantasy that takes the main characters through a dreamscape adventure to save a marriage and their future. The production doesn’t win on originality, but there’s an enormous amount of charm to enjoy here, with the film offering lively voicework and playful comedy, also enjoying the elasticity of sleep experiences to help inspire a few exciting animated set-pieces. “In Your Dreams” has heart and a sense of humor, with Woo keeping things short and pleasant for the target demographic.
