      It had an ending. This is unacceptable!

      So true. Michael Ende was a total genius and the book has to be filmed again. It has so much potential for surreal dreamy landscapes, morphing sceneries, psychedelic images…

        Personally, I would be ok if they leave Artax’s ability to speak out of a new one as well

      I understand, but I grew up with that movie, and it’s entrenched in my psyche. I still love it. Discovering the book was an absolute treat. It’s so special!

        It seems almost like a horror twist, discovering that the movie is basically embodying the antagonistic force in the book.

          Aww… I didn’t feel that way at all. It seeded my imagination.

          The sequel movies, on the other hand, are trash.

            I don’t usually recommend this channel, but Mother’s Basement has a really excellent video that discusses Neverending Story near the end (he spends most of it talking about DBZ).

      I commented the same >_< The stories of Michael Ende and Astrid Lindgren are in my opinion supposed to be experienced as books.
