Genius discovers Nemo and tells him not to blame himself for all that has happened and that Flip is to blame. Nemo awakens in his home, which floods with seawater and ejects him into the ocean. As the partygoers search for a scapegoat, Flip and Nemo reveal each other responsible for The Nightmare's escape, since Morpheus gave Nemo the key and it was Flip's idea to open the door. In the middle of a dance session between Morpheus and Genius, "The Nightmare" reaches the castle and steals Morpheus away. Nemo rushes back to Morpheus' castle in time for his coronation ceremony, where Nemo is handed the royal scepter, the only thing capable of defeating the Nightmare King the ruler of Nightmare Land, should he ever return to Slumberland. Flip tempts Nemo into unlocking the door, which unleashes "the nightmare". There, Nemo discovers the door that Morpheus warned him not to open. Afterward, Nemo meets the mischievous clown, Flip, who angers a group of cops and forces him and Nemo to hide out in a cave. Nemo is introduced to Princess Camille and the pair roam the entirety of Slumberland together. Morpheus gives Nemo a golden key that opens every door in the kingdom and warns him of a door with a dragon insignia that must never be opened. Morpheus reveals that he summoned Nemo to become his heir to the throne. Nemo is taken to Slumberland in a dirigible which he is allowed to drive, causing some chaos, and is introduced to King Morpheus, who doubles as the circus ringmaster on Earth. Although Nemo initially has reservations about interacting with royalty of the opposite gender, he and Icarus decide to set off to fulfill his mission after being persuaded with a gift box of cookies from the princess. The mission involves Nemo becoming the playmate of the princess, Camille.
The circus organist introduces himself as Professor Genius and claims that they had been sent on a mission by King Morpheus, the king of a realm named Slumberland. Upon actually falling asleep later that night, Nemo is approached by figures from the circus parade. Later that night, Nemo imitates sleepwalking in an attempt to sneak some pie away, which acts against a promise he had made earlier to his mother, who catches him in the act and makes him run back to his room empty-handed. However, Nemo is unable to see the circus since his parents are too busy to take him. Upon awakening the next day, he goes with his pet flying squirrel, Icarus to see a parade welcoming a traveling circus. The film opens with the young boy Nemo experiencing a nightmare in which he is pursued by a locomotive. However, it sold well on home video and has since developed a cult following. It received positive reviews but earned $11.4 million on a $35 million budget and was a box office bomb. The film was first released in Japan on July 15, 1989, by the Toho-Towa and in the United States on August 21, 1992, by the Hemdale Film Corporation.
