The Sandman and the Lost Sand of Dreams

Each night, like every other child in the world, Miko goes to Dreamland thanks to magic sand dispersed by the Sandman. But one night, the evil dream Habumar steals the Sand of Dreams and takes control of Dreamland. The Sandman and his faithful sheep Neopomuk ask Miko to help them get back the precious sand, and to hence foil the plans of terrifying Habumar. So begins a great adventure in a world where all is possible.

Directed by Jesper Møller, Sinem Sakaoglu, The Sandman and the Lost Sand of Dreams leans on a strong ensemble — Bruno Renne, Ilja Richter, Volker Lechtenbrink — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2010.
