LEGO DREAMZZZ: ENTER THE CYBER GAME: Episodes 3.1 to 3.3

"Protecting the Land from Evildoers"

What You Need To Know:

LEGO DREAMZZZ is an animated fantasy series on Netflix. The series focuses on a teenager named Mateo who has the ability to fall asleep and enter a dream world full of strange characters, both good and evil. In the first three episodes of Season Three, which is subtitled ENTER THE CYBER GAME, Mateo has become a protector in the dream world. However, he must compete with a villain named Dream Smasher, who pretends to be doing the same thing but has ulterior motives.

The first three episodes of LEGO DREAMZZZ: Season Three are bright, colorful and full of action. They’re filled with verbal and visual LEGO® humor. They also have a strong moral worldview of good overcoming evil. However, there are elements of occult and fantasy magic such as demonic-looking evil characters and magical powers, some of which resemble superpowers in comic book movies. The episodes have lots of action violence and a light comical innuendo between the hero’s parents. Because of all this, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for older children. LEGO DREAMZZZ: ENTER THE CYBER GAME is not appropriate for children.

More Detail:

LEGO DREAMZZZ is an animated fantasy series on Netflix about a dream world where LEGO® characters can enter and fight against evil. The series is bright and creative, and full of action. The first three episodes of Season Three have a strong moral worldview of good overcoming evil, but there are some occult and magical fantasy elements in the dream world, some of which resemble superpowers in comic book movies. There’s also lots of action violence. So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for older and especially younger children.

Season Three of LEGO DREAMZZZ is subtitled ENTER THE CYBER GAME and has 20 episodes altogether. Episode One of Season Three opens with the evil King of the Creatures in the dream world striking characters with a laser that comes out of his head. The characters turn evil when they’re struck. Claudius, the King of the Creatures, wakes up and realizes it all was a “stupid” dream. Two scientists then run a test on Claudius, who’s the maintenance man for their company, but the experiment starts to go wrong.

Cut to Matteo coming home from work. He’s just bought a video game with his new paycheck, but his sister says she needs to get some sleep and can’t play it with him until some other time. So, Matteo tells his parents he’ll just go to sleep also. As he climbs the stairs to his bedroom, Matteo’s father makes a light comical but unspoken innuendo about staying up and watching TV.

Once asleep, Mateo enters the dream world and walks through some portals. Several villains begin to attack the land, and then Dream Smasher comes and defeats the bad guys. Mateo is frustrated, because he wanted to be the one to save the day.

Mateo travels with some of his friends to the Grim Realm in the dream world. The Grim World is where nightmares come to life. Matteo and his friends see a giant creepy birthday cake creature. Mateo asks the creature to leave, but it turns violent and punches Mateo and his friends. The cake multiplies into a bunch of little monster cakes. Matteo and his friends are outnumbered, but Dream Smasher arrives to fight the cakes, and he makes them explode with his magical superpowers.

In Episode 2 of Season 3, Mateo begins to question Dream Smasher’s motives. Z-Blob, Matteo’s little green dream world friend who can cross into the waking word, leaves him and starts acting mischievous with Sneak. Mr. Oz encourages Mateo to just talk to resolve conflict. Matteo decides to make up with Z-Blob. He enters the dream world only to learn that Z-Blob is in trouble and rolling through the land at a fast speed. At the end, some characters bow down to Dream Smasher as he laughs in an evil manner.

In Episode 3, Mateo thinks the dream world is getting boring because Dream Smasher doesn’t let anything bad happen. Matteo and his friends go to the dream world to race. During the race, Mateo takes a shortcut and sees Dream Smasher building a suspicious tower. He sees his friends, but a bunch of creepy characters chase Mateo. When they enter the crowd, Dream Smasher lies about chasing Mateo.
