19819


It was English dubbed, and I remember seeing it on some anime channel around
2008. It involved a short, fat character with weird teeth creating dreams. I
think the main characters called him a sandman. The one thing I remember well
was the main characters flying into space from earth after weird stuff
happened. They discover the earth is shaped oddly. It is flat and looks like a
city being held up by giant statues of people. They seemed to recognize the
statues. The sandman character mentioned something about creating a pure dream
from the mind of an individual girl in the main cast. This sandman seemed to
be an antagonist. Sound familiar to anyone?

question
urusei-yatsura
What's the name of this movie with a sandman?


It is [**Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful
Dreamer**](http://myanimelist.net/anime/1921/Urusei_Yatsura_Movie_2:_Beautiful_Dreamer).
I highly recommend **Urusei Yatsura** , but I would urge you to watch the TV
series before even beginning to think about enjoying this movie... or not.
This movie kinda stands on its own, but not knowing the characters is kinda
sad.

The most convincing proof is [this Youtube
video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy8CWV0ki-A&t=2935), it starts right
where the group lifts off the planet and they see what you described.

Here is part of [the synopsis from
IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088334/synopsis?ref_=ttpl_sa_2):

> However, when they get a ways above the city, everyone is shocked to see
> that the province of Tomobiki-cho is on a circular disc on the back of a
> turtle, floating through space. The group also zooms in under the disc,
> noting that there are two giant statues holding it up on the turtle's back:
> one of Onnsen-Mark, the other of Sakurambo, Sakura's uncle (who she noted
> had seemed to disappear recently).

Here is the fat dream man.
