The Dreamers (film)

The Dreamers is an upcoming animated science fiction crossover film produced by Universal Pictures in association with Walt Disney Pictures. Directed, produced, written by and starring Damien Tran, it is based on his graphic novel of the same name, which in turn is a crossover of the films he has directed, Sailor Moon, Nanoha, Disney Dreams, Polybius and Doki Doki Literature Club, both based on their respective media. The film is intended to be the first film in a new universe described by Tran as "the Dreamerverse." It is expected to be released on Disney+ with Premier Access before releasing in theatres in 2D, 3D, IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX and 4DX Screen x IMAX.

Plot
Usagi Tsukino, who was about to enjoy her normal life with Mamoru after she defeated Sailor Galaxia, was sent to another dimension, with Nanoha Takamachi, Anne Marie, the Polybius girl and the Doki Doki couple following suit. There, they meet Kilala, the girl who Anne Marie met in her dreams, who tells the girls that they were brought in for a reason, in which they have to team up and stop a dark villain from corrupting the dreams of innocent people.

Trivia
