Wow! This looks like a real feast for the senses and you'd be shocked at the budget it was produced on. A mere $3.7 million! Yeah you heard me and we're all thinking the same thing. Why do some Hollywood films still look like crud when they have more than ten times the budget that this film has (it makes no sense)? You can tell that Imaginaerum is drawing a chuck of its aesthetics art style from Tim Burton's "Nightmare before Christmas" and some homage to British children book "The Snowman" by Raymond Briggs.

Plot Synopsis: Imaginaerum tells the story of an elderly composer, Tom, who suffers from severe dementia. As he has had the disease for years and has regressed into childhood, he remembers practically nothing from his adult life. His music, friends, all his past including the memory of his daughter are a blur in his fragile mind. All he has left is the imagination of a ten year old boy. As he drifts away into coma, it seems impossible to get back what he has lost. Or is it?

The film is a journey between two different dimensions. Tom travels through his imaginary world seeking answers and finding memories, while his daughter, Gem, tries to recover the bond she had once shared with her father in the real world. As they have become more and more distant from each other over the years, and as theres even greater obstacles separating them now Toms coma and his imminent death Gems project feels doomed to failure. However, through Toms darkest secrets, Gem discovers the path she must follow in order to find her father again.
