Wonderful character development!

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Seriously, is there a children's fantasy film better than The Neverending Story? This timeless tale works for a variety of ages and still entertains after numerous viewings. It's bizarre, yes, but that's what makes it so memorable. I hope that this will be a favorite of my kids as well, so The Neverending Story can continue.

This movie is still one of my all time favorite's from when I was a little kid playing with my toys in front of my television. This Is a movie that I have watched over and over again a million times and never get bored of it. To this day I still watch it and still enjoy it just as much when i was a kid playing it in my VHS player. This movie is a movie that everyone must see and experience the wonderful NeverEnding Story! 10/10!!!

I remember watching this as a much younger lass than I am now. At that time it was magical and now in my late 50's it still is. It would have to be the movie that started the incredible journey of fantasy animatrics that everyone expects today. I applaud and admire the folks in every area who were involved in making this film. Thank you! Its one of my again and again watch films. :)

I remember watching this as a kid and was curious how it holds up to these days.In the movie we follow a little boy, Bastian, who likes to read fantasy books and dreams about being part of them. When he gets chased by bullies he hides in a bookshop were he encounters the book titled 'The NeverEnding Story'. The store owner warns Bastian for the book because it contains a story were the reader cannot escape from. Off course Bastian doesn't listen to the warning so he borrows the book, takes it to the attic of the school and delves into it's pages. We are then taken into the world of Fantasia, were the book's story takes place. Fantasia is in danger of being destroyed by 'The Nothing' and only the child hero, Atreyu, can save it. We then get to follow two protagonists, Atreyu on his quest to save Fantasia and Bastian reading this tale.NeverEnding Story is an entertaining film that still looks great in this age. Off course it doesn't look as smooth as today's movies because it's all animatronics, model set pieces and a few stop motion effects but they still manage to bring the world of fantasia alive. They really went out of their way with designing weird characters and that's the film main strength in my opinion. What I don't like about this film is that many of these characters only appear very briefly on screen. The main child actors spend a lot of time alone, a bit to long for me. The lack of (inter)action during these scenes makes the film feel a bit dull at times. Also the ending is a bit confusing and the movie struggles to bring the message to the audience. (I had to look it up in the FaQ) But it is still a entertaining movie to watch if your curious what this movie was about or perhaps watch it with your kids to let them see one of your childhood movies.
