The third film, The NeverEnding Story III: Escape from Fantasia (1994), has an original plot not based on the book. The second half of the book was subsequently used as a rough basis for the second film, The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter (1990). The film adapts only the first half of the book, and consequently does not convey the message of the title as it was portrayed in the novel. The film was the first in The NeverEnding Story film series. The film follows a boy who happens upon a magical book that tells of a young warrior who is given the task of stopping the Nothing, a dark force, from engulfing the wonderland world of Fantasia.Īt the time of its release, it was the most expensive film produced outside the United States or the Soviet Union. It stars Noah Hathaway, Barret Oliver, Tami Stronach, Patricia Hayes, Sydney Bromley, Gerald McRaney and Moses Gunn, with Alan Oppenheimer providing the voices of both Falkor and Gmork ( as well as other characters). The film was produced by Bernd Eichinger and Dieter Giessler.

If you haven't seen it yet then stop reading this and go rent it or something.DM 60 million (~ US$25–27 million ) If you were alive in the 80's and you missed this then you are so deprived. This movie has everything: video games, aliens, space dogfights, lasergun battles, teen angst, and 80's cheese. The plot is simple but fun and this movie is perfect for kids, as I was at the time I saw this the first thru 300th time.

Lance Guest especially, come on he did a good job. The cast all does a good job but none of them ever went on to fame, a occurance that I blame solely on soulless Hollywood execs. Special effects are effective if they enhance a movie, not just because they use the latest computer effects or bring something entirely new to the movie world. Some of these effects snobs think that if a movie's effects aren't groundbreaking or super realistic, they aren't good. Some people are complaining about the visual effects but let me tell ya, they are pretty good even by today's standards.

The Last Starfighter is a great example except it isn't corny. Being a child of the eighties, I can remember this movie fondly and with a lot of nostalgia for a time when movies that are corny now were just pretty damn cool then.
