This month marks the 40th anniversary of The NeverEnding Story, a timeless fantasy adventure that has captivated audiences since its debut in 1984.
In celebration, I thought I’d share a couple of old trailers for the movie, which was one of my all-time favorites when I was a kid. Damn… I love this movie!
The NeverEnding Story is a captivating movie that follows the journey of a shy and bullied young boy named Bastian. While seeking refuge in a bookstore to escape his bullies, Bastian stumbles upon a mysterious book titled The NeverEnding Story.
As he begins to read the book in the storage attic of his school, he finds himself drawn into the magical world of Fantasia, which is on the brink of destruction by a malevolent force known as The Nothing.
The inhabitants of Fantasia desperately need a hero to save their world, and as Bastian reads on, he becomes increasingly intertwined with the story’s fate.
Led by Atreyu, a brave young warrior, the quest to save Fantasia unfolds, challenging both Atreyu and Bastian to overcome fears and discover their true strengths.
After all these years, The NeverEnding Story remains a beloved classic and continues to inspire imagination. We actually dedicated two podcast episodes to this film that you can listen to here.
The film is currently being adapted as a new live-action series.
