Thank you for bringing this to attention. Been waiting for Hollywood to care enough to make something like this, but even better that it's made by fans.
Love these films. I own Life After Flash. I’m sure you get recommendations all the time, lol, but allow me to suggest The Last Starfighter 🩵 Either way, I look forward to future films 😊
I actually feel incredibly lucky to have encountered the German version before the American version. Bland opening titles aside, I never felt a synth pop tune sat well with the esoteric and mystical themes and imagery (although, I love listening to the song by itself!). The American version also cuts short scenes of dialogue, including with Gmork and the Childlike Empress. I first watched this film when I was 23. It changed my life, and I’m writing children’s fiction because of it!
If Lisa Down is watching this I’m a backer on LIFE AFTER THE NEVERENDING STORY and well done on getting funded and can’t wait to see your film as well as the other 2 films you made beforehand!!!
My earliest memory of Never Ending Story was being sick in hospital around 1986-7 and I had to stay there for like several nights and they only had two VHS tapes, one was some movie I don't even remember what it was and the other was Never Ending Story. I would watch that over and over again as even the nurse got so sick of it when I would say as a 6 year old "Please put on Never Ending Story again." And she would be like "Don't you wanna see the other movie?" Ha ha, I bet I drove her crazy. No joke, must have seen it at least 10x when I was in that hospital. But to this day, I still don't know what I was there for and neither does my mum, or she refuses to tell me.
@@mrbee4life182 It wasn't, I know that much. It may have been something like "Black Stallion" I don't know. I honestly couldn't tell you what it was. But it was no big name movie.
Great video Oliver love your videos! Lisa is amazing film maker and its been a pleasure to watch her documentaries, specially on movies that i grew up with and saw in the cinemas 1st time back in the 80s. Lisa as touched a fondness that i have for all things 80s( Thank You Lisa). I have both Life after Flash and Navigator which are outstanding and such a pleasure to own on Blu-ray. So that why i funded Never-ending Story doc way back in 2021 when Lisa first announce it. So looking forward to it!
This movie was solely responsible for giving me an imagination when I was 5 years old. It is a timeless masterpiece, and I will always be eternally thankful for it. It is considered blasphemous for anyone NOT to have this movie in their collection. ^.^
I'm confused by her not having known about the German version until more recently. This has been pretty much common knowledge since the Internet started (I can understand people not knowing before, but she's much too young for that).
Is it just me or dose Ollie sound like a chipmunk when he talks during the credits I assume the audio is speeded up for time resons lol but it allways sounds funny
@@OliverHarper what a difference 1fps makes lol Alogh im rather good at noticing off pitch audio especially with wonkey PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL conversations Lol but yea its a quirk iv noticed on your videos for a while but would forget to mention it Please dont correct it as its kinda funny lol
As far as I'm aware, after the first movie Michael Ende has ZERO involvement with any future sequels because he hated the experience of the first one so much. Which explains A LOT about the quality of them.
@@LifeAfterMoviesWebShow oh interesting. I read a Cinefantastique article on the 2nd one where Ende said he didn't love the changes to his work but accepted them. On the 3rd one, he let them do whatever with it. I guess the 1st one took too much out of him to care to influence something he had no control over, but I have a hard time imagining he actually liked the sequels.
If you would like to support Lisa and her documentary on Kickstarter follow the link! kck.st/49yJKOB
Thank you for bringing the spotlight to her Kickstarter! I just contributed thanks to you!

I just watched Life After Navigator and I want to thank you for not exploiting Joey Cramer and allowing him to tell his story. Very moving.
@@kevinconn Say no more: th-cam.com/video/fWxToM_KPeA/w-d-xo.html
YES, one of my favorite films of all time! So glad you're revisting it, and giving some much needed behind the scenes context.
I cried several times just watching you talk about those scenes that made you cry.
So many years later and you post this. Thank you
This was so interesting. Great interview style as well Oliver. So relaxed and really allowing the guest to talk. Loved it.

If the other one was Back To The Future you missed out on another classic 😂😂

Very good interview, gotta love the life after documentarys
Hey, good old Waga Waga mention. I'm pretty sure my dad use to drive there and sell Ice Cream back in the 90s, driving there from Cowra.
Stop! That’s amazing, my cottage roommate was from Cowra. Wagga was awesome.
@@LifeAfterMoviesWebShow Cool. I might know the family name. I am in my early 40s, so not sure how close our ages are, so I might not know them.
De La motte?
@@LifeAfterMoviesWebShow No, must have been after my time. I'm sure a friend or two may know them.
An interesting documentary worth watching for any fan of the never ending story

I really enjoyed Life After the Navigator, so I'm really looking forward to this one.
Gonna enjoy this doc soooo much!
Is bastion TG?
Great interview. Oliver Harper is one of the best TH-camrs ever. I actually met Sam Jones (Flash Gordon) in 2009.
This movie was solely responsible for giving me an imagination when I was 5 years old. It is a timeless masterpiece, and I will always be eternally thankful for it. It is considered blasphemous for anyone NOT to have this movie in their collection. ^.^
Does this mean we'll be getting a new Never-Ending Story retrospect in the future?
No, it doesn’t. But if we ask, maybe he will
I would love to see a retrospective of this film at some point maybe in the coming year but great interview Oliver keep up
Fantastic, Oliver!
I'm confused by her not having known about the German version until more recently. This has been pretty much common knowledge since the Internet started (I can understand people not knowing before, but she's much too young for that).
Is anyone else wondering about Barrett Oliver?
7:50 "had respect for the story" The Neverending Story was a book first. A very magical book printed with the text in green and red ink.
Life after Superman please
If you like Sci-fi... Now you See TV - TH-cam
🐴 🌊😢
So many feelings in 3 emojis 😂😢
🥰😌thanks buddy
Life after the navigator was a great tubi watch, so stoked for this!
@@MrBoooneI’m on catch up but very excited all round
@@MrBooonethank you so much! I’m really proud of the navigator documentary
We need a 4k release of The Never Ending Story with this documentary as a bonus disc. Throw in the sequels too and I'll be one happy chappy!
👍👍👍🎥
Is it just me or dose Ollie sound like a chipmunk when he talks during the credits
I assume the audio is speeded up for time resons lol but it allways sounds funny
hahaha yeah sound a bit high pitch because its playing back in 25fps instead of 24fps.
@@OliverHarper what a difference 1fps makes lol
Alogh im rather good at noticing off pitch audio especially with wonkey PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL conversations
Lol but yea its a quirk iv noticed on your videos for a while but would forget to mention it
Please dont correct it as its kinda funny lol
@@zachthezombie haha I went full PAL format.

he actually was involved with the 2nd and 3rd parts, which is surprising but confirmed to me by the producers wife

Gotta admit I’m more interested in the coverage of the sequels.

Spoiler Blocker !!!
