Same. This always seemed like a movie I would want to get into. I mean who isn't in the love with the concept of a dragon dog thing that can fly? but that fricker's face bothered me immensely. I would cry if it was on TV for too long. I *wanted* to like it but he freaked me the frick out way too much. Something just kept telling me that he was no good. Took me to sack up and be like 9 to finally come to understand that the movie is boring as shit and I missed the train on it making a positive impression on me.

massive homosexuals still crying about it decades later
lmao
it's because of "people" like you we're getting nothing but watered down CGI garbage instead of animatronics today.
Sharing an experience isn't crying you mongoloid. I don't care about you getting mad over how I felt when I recall being creeped out and not fully comprehending what I was seeing when I was like 4. Get fricked.
One of the best dark fantasy movies ever made, the minority representaion in the movie is very broad and equivalent to modern films and the cgi is top notch and looks just like real practical effects.
I always assumed they made her name deliberately unintelligible so it could be one of those rorschach test moments where everyone filled in the blank with their own mother's name. They honestly should never have acknowledged there was a specific name under all the noise
In my language dub, someone must have thought that moronic as frick, and instead he doesn't scream anything and the audio queu gets boosted, like he screamed to the storm and the audience doesn't hear it.
Is never referenced again so it works perfectly fine.
Plus, if you are a kid that lost your mom, the movie is based as frick as you can roleplay as just screaming your mom's name
I think it was a great choice on the dub team
Interesting. Looked it up, means "Free Man" or "Warrior" (feminine version) from the Germanic source and "Oath" from the Celtic. Could interpret the latter to mean "Promise".
Didn't mind out it was a German movie dubbed in English until I was an adult and it blew my mind. Same with finding out that Milo and Otis is Japanese.
Gonna take a walk outside today, gonna see what we can find today.
Did you grow up with or without the extremely graphic animal birth scenes? I remember renting that movie from different shops and never knowing if I would see animals poo out blobs or not lol
So the majority english-speaking cast learned/knew german, said their lines in german, and dubbed over it in english later? I want you to think about this.
It's a fairy tale that's not infantilized, full emotions are experience and you'll enjoy that as cathartic and growing up experiences even if you're an adult
yeah literally every kid who saw it was shook by the horse going down in the swamps but that's what made it such a great moment. From that point on it felt like a legitimately perilous journey where the danger was real
The wolf scared the frick out of me when I saw this as a kid in the 80s
The wolf was my favorite character in the movie when i watched it as a child
It totally traumatized my sister. You could not even frick around and pretend to be the wolf chilling in an opening, she would scream snd cry. Good times.

It comes from a time when movies for youngsters didn't coddle or pander to childishness. Young people grow into adults. And when they're grown they must understand that it's a dangerous, shit-ugly world. A world in which the only person you can depend upon is yourself. It's a brutal lesson; but it's a lesson that must be learned sooner rather than later. Kids' movies used to teach life lessons.
Are you guys going to see it in theaters for the 40th anniversary? I've only ever seen it on the 90 min vhs so I'm curious what the extra 30 minutes will be.
>An 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray was released in October 2014, which duplicates the DTS surround track of its predecessor. Originally described as a "newly" remastered version of the film, Warner released a statement indicating that "the only remastered version is The NeverEnding Story II", while not elaborating further on this current US release.
I do not have high hopes for a remaster, unless there's some Das Boot tier 9-hour cut by Petersen in a vault somewhere
"Moonchild", the name the kid yells at the end, is a big time occult concept. Trump is supposedly a Moon Child according to the context of his birth. Anti-Christ style stuff.
I remember in school they got the whole year group to sit down in the hall and watch this together. Now when I look back it seems odd they would do that with this specific film alone. What made it important enough to collectively play it for all of us.
>never ending story
>ends
dont waste your time
fippy bippy
It literally spits on the book
>It literally spits on the book
books are for nerds
I like both, and Michael Ende can go frick himself.
That Falkor thing has always been unsettling for me to look at. Even when I was kid I didnt like it.

Explain to me how his mom was named "Moon Child." What kind of hippie shit is this?
The theme song is epic pre-trance eurodance. I love it.
I always assumed they made her name deliberately unintelligible so it could be one of those rorschach test moments where everyone filled in the blank with their own mother's name. They honestly should never have acknowledged there was a specific name under all the noise
Shut up! Moon Child is a good name!!
The theme song is great.
Morning Star would trigger people. It's esoteric Christian stuff which you can trace back through ancient Greek myths to astrology and Atlantis.

in the French dub he calls her Arlina

Other way. It's a German movie and they all knew English. That is very common.
what are you talking about you fricking moron

Exactly. It shows the world as full of magic and danger in a way that feels tangible and startling, also quite poetic too
Everyone I know who watched it growing up loved it.
It's sad we can't have movies like this anymore.
I only like it cause it's from the 80s and has that Kajagoogoo song. The actual story isn't engaging at all. It's all style, no substance.
All I can say is; FRICK THIS THING!
Gmork. Servant of the nothing.

all moms love it so it must be good
Drowning horses and Sphynx nipples
> I -LIKE- children *smirks*
Falkor is a dicky poster
Last time I watched this, I snuggled a girl and she fell asleep in my arms. Didn't finish the movie, and I didn't get to frick her. Still, good times.
I've never felt sad about Artax. Not even a little bit.
Overwhelmingly boring snoozefest.

I grew up on this film. I think its great for kids, serious enough but does fantasy right.
Sphinx breasts
The dead knight scared the shit out of me as a kid.
Great movie.
heres your red pill
CALL MY FRICKIN NAME YOU SIMPING BETA!
>Artax!
>Big good strong hands
>I am Atreyu!
Absolute fricking kino even though Bastian is a little homosexual.
i remember watching commercials for this movie as a kid and they scared me shitless
Atheists

What did Hollywood mean by this?
