The NeverEnding Story

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.

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