In Film
In the movie Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, Flip is portrayed as a mischief maker, much like in the comics. He is not really seen as an enemy toward Nemo but isn't liked by most of Slumberland. He is voiced by Mickey Rooney in English and Chikao Ĺtsuka in Japanese.
In the film he is lively and fun-loving, whereas in the original strip he was more of a moody, cynical disposition.
Though maybe not seen as an enemy, he is portrayed as more of a bad influence toward Nemo which eventually ends up with Flip influencing Nemo to opening the forbidden door which releases the Nightmare King. Though he did not know what was behind the forbidden door, Flip blames Nemo for the problem in order to save himself. He later corrects his wrongdoing by joining Nemo in a rescue attempt to get King Morpheus back from Nightmare Land and by helping Nemo and the group find Nightmare Land with a special map of his.
He is last seen in the movie on his giant flying crow Flap, saying good-bye to Nemo and the Princess as they depart Slumberland in the King's dirigible.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
—British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
