''Dreambuilders'' is a 2020 Danish animated fantasy film directed by Kim Hagen Jensen, from a screenplay by Søren Grinderslev Hansen.

Minna’s life is turned upside down when her dad’s new fiancée, Helena, and her daughter Jenny move in. Her new stepsister, Jenny, turns out to be a mean terror and Minna is frustrated. She wants her gone! One night Minna discovers a world behind her dreams, where dream builders create our dreams on theatre stages. Minna discovers that she can get back at Jenny by manipulating her dreams. But interfering with people’s dreams has dire consequences, and Minna goes too far, so Jenny ends up in a coma. Everyone says it’s an accident, but Minna knows it’s her fault. Minna must enter the dream world one final time to face the living nightmare she has created, in order to save Jenny and her new family.

!!This movie provides examples of:
* DreamWalker: Minna, upon discovering the dream world, uses it to interact with other people's dreams, particularly Jenny's.
* DreamLand: Every person has a dream stage, where the Dreambuilders design, script and act out their dreams, akin to shooting a film.
* DreamWeaver: The Dreambuilders, who are responsible for crafting people's dreams. Minna does this as well upon discovering the dream world.
* GiantSpider: Minna creates a giant mechanical one to scare Jenny during her nightmare. [[spoiler: It later comes to life in the Dream Trash and attacks the two girls as they're trying to escape, until Minna shuts it down.]]
* SpidersAreScary: Jenny certainly thinks so. Minna capitalizes on this by using spiders in Jenny's nightmare.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Jenny is terrified of spiders. Minna later takes advantage of this when designing Jenny's nigghtmare.
* YourWorstNightmare: When Jenny, who has found out that Minna is manipulating her dreams, attempts to make Minna jealous by getting close to her father, Minna retaliates by crafting a nightmare in which Jenny is terrorized by spiders. However, she goes too far and ends up destroying her dream stage, causing Jenny to fall into the Dream Stage below, rendering her real-world self comatose.
