StrangerThings breathed new life into NeverEndingStory, and it’s the perfect time for a rewatch
is based on German author Michael Ende's 1979 book of the same name, which follows a boy named Bastian Balthazar Bux. He's having some issues dealing with his mother's passing and finds solace in a mysterious bookstore owned by one Carl Conrad Coreander, whose old shop houses a book called. Bastian steals the book and hides in his school's attic, where he finds himself getting lost in a strange tale about the magical land of Fantasia .
Atreyu is charged with saving Fantasia from The Nothing, and he's given a powerful medallion named Auryn to keep him from harm while working to do just that. On his way to seek out a cure for the Childlike Empress's ailment, Atreyu comes upon an enormous furry serpent called a luckdragon named Falkor who becomes his companion and friend throughout the remainder of the film.
But it's more than that, too. For the length of its runtime, it completely transports you to a believable storyland where, just for an hour and some change, you can completely lose yourself. This is a concept some modern films are still having difficulty with, and with limited practical effects and '80s filmmaking standards, it's still a believable trip to a faraway land that you'll truly become invested in, even if you're momentarily put off by its dated effects.
