- My goodness this movie moved me to my core. I absolutely enjoyed this beautiful movie! The Neverending Story is our story, the worlds story. Are we going to keep listening to that voice that tells us to keep our feet on the ground? Or will we start to believe in ourselves like Bastian did? We all are the key to our own happiness. I believe in you and me.

Let's keep dreaming guys~
LEGENDS OF THE FALL (1994)Interview with the vampire
I needed to hear this for many reasons. Thank you.
@@Borikensoulstudio very glad 😊🙂🙂
I don't know how well it has aged, but give Red Sonja a go if you are in the mood for a sword and sorcery type movie.
@@josetheragood3213
The acting is a bit wooden, and the effects are..well the director wasn't a big budget kinda guy. But dammit, Nostalgia!!
I'd definitely love a reaction video.
Let's not forget the old man who LET Bastian take the book. He knew Bastain would take it. He wanted him to. He is also part of the Neverending Story, and he did what he needed to do: present the future to the next generation. It was up to Bastian to take hold of it!
ive thought about that, but the old fella seems glad when bastian leaves then looks maybe a little shocked when he looks down and sees the book gone
so i would probly disagree dude
@@jessesmith9949 Perhaps the old man realised that life will never be perfect and whatever journey Bastion would take would forever change him and would never be the same boy who first stepped inside the bookstore.
@@jessesmith9949 I definitely believe that he intended for him to take the book. I think the key is in his reaction when Bastian started rattling off the titles all of the incredible adventure books that he has loved. I have always believed that he knows with that book is, and what it does, and who it is for.
I've seen the movies and read the book several times over the years and I am convinced that Mr. Coriander is going to give the book to Bastian before he passes and Bastian will one day be an old man in a book store waiting for the next kid who needs it.
I love reactions to this movie. It's like adding another level to the story--as Bastian watches Atreyu, and you watch Bastian, now we're watching you. Welcome to the neverending story...
OMG SOMEONE WHO FINALLY GETS IT!
@@nightynightshade Quick, someone make a reaction video to this reaction video... so I can react to it! 😬
Babs couldn't have said it better. There's always new people watching and "reading" along with the book story.
omg THATs the neverending story!?!?!?! I never realized
11:27 "why am I crying?"
Because you're a human being
The Swamp scene practically traumatized me as a kid! That and the nihilistic wolf.
It was the Sphinx for me, their eyes messed me up.
I love horses so that made me so sad too!
These look like good, Big, strong hands don't they?
The G'mork is NOT Nihilistic, he is the exact opposite of that!

I searched for ‘The Neverending Story movie reaction’ because I wanted to see someone’s reaction to a movie I really enjoyed growing up. Hearing you talk about the power of imagination and the need to forever indulge in these worlds for us and for our children was powerful and inspiring. I was just looking for a simple reaction and you gave me something so real and so raw and I respect you massively for being so open. Subscribing.
I'm almost 50 years old.. saw this movie as a child and am still crying over the death of Artax to this day :) Thank you very much for this reaction
He sinks into the Swamp of Sadness which is connected to The Nothing. He doesn't die.
Oh boy is that scene with Atreyu losing Artax in the swamp a memorable one for me. At 5 or 6 that was devastating!
thank god he was resurrected at the end otherwise it would've truly been traumatic
Bro I was the same age😭
Gmork is literally a black dog (well, werewolf), so he's a clear metaphor for the emptiness and depression that the Nothing also represents. This movie is still great, and great reaction! Subscribed.
Enjoyed your reaction a lot. I recently watched this with my 3 y.o. daughter, trying to talk her through the dialog with simpler vocabulary she could grasp. I found myself choking up at similar points you did, getting teary eyed, my voice would tremble and it got harder to utter out the words from my mouth. Today, she was singing the theme song and asked to rewatch it. I love the questions she was asking about the movie along the way, trying to dissect it and understand its meaning. I enjoy feeling her emotional reactions to the film too, she clings tight to me when artax sinks, and the scary gmork comes on screen, I remember feeling the same set of emotions as her when I was young too. A pleasure to share this movie with her, and am glad she connects with it.
I usually don’t stick around for additional commentary… but you nailed it. Having watched this movie new in theater at 9 years old, I felt this too. Ya nailed it. ❤️
Oh my gosshhhh this is my favorite film of all time & always crushes my soul when reactors dismiss it but you connected with it just like me I feel so seen 🥺
I feel exactly the same as you. 🥺
My mom showed me and my siblings this movie when we were kids, it’s one of those movies where the concept sticks with you more than certain scenes did, at least for me. Fantastic movie!!!
I cried right along with you. This is a powerful movie to me, a lesson to keep the sense of wonder of a child.
When you've watched this movie so many times you can quote along to the final scene between Childlike Empress, Atreyu, and Bastian.
Some people take issue with the name Bastian calls out "Moonchild", but he was born in the early 70s, which means there's a chance that his mom was a hippy and that was HER name.
Never apologize for crying to these films, that's what they're for.. not just for kids, but for those kids once we've grown to remember to imagine. Just like The Princess Bride.
You don't have to have anything going on in your life to cry to The Neverending Story.
Its craftsmanship is just that good on its own.
This is one of the best films ever made. It’s thought-provoking, imaginative, creative, incredibly emotional, empowers people to follow their dreams and escape horrible situations, and so much more. It also has an amazing theme song and imagery that’s just so surreal with so much effort put into creating this world with detail that’s amazing. The dialogue plays into the fears and subconscious of our minds.
An immortal classic.
*sees Imon posts Neverending Story reaction 9 minutes ago*
Me:
"Okay holy shit okay everybody IT'S HAPPENING, EVERYBODY STAY CALM"
"WHAT'S THE PROCEEEEDURE"
"STAY F'N CALM"
lol
Artax Represents Despair, Morla represents Apathy, and the Rockbiter represents powerlessness.
This is one of my favorite films for every reason you mentioned. Part of social disdain for children is likely a byproduct of our disappointment for the way in which we raise them. I used to be terrified of parts of this film and in adulthood realized it's also conceptually scary, even for grown ups. I also learned that kids need this sort of fear, the good kind of fear that helps them to grow and mature in their imagination. That's the reason so many beloved older films often have a scary element, and the sequels that lack it are far less popular. Amazing reaction.
This was a beautiful review of my favorite movie. Your commentary at the end made me tear up! Thank you, beautiful human ❤
Absolutely adore this film! I actually won a European competition (I'm in the UK) when I was round 10 years old to design a dragon which they had said they would use as the inspiration for Falkor the Luckdragon however in the end they didn't for whatever reason. I got to see the premier of the film and got some items to do with the film too. That was an amazing feeling winning something like that at that age. Pretty much the only time I've won anything in my entire life!! 🙂
11:36 I subscribed. This is exactly how the film impacted me at 4-5 and throughout my life. The film also helped me face fears. It helped me realize how much influence I have in my existence. I am alive in many people's stories. I am more important than I'll ever know. I teach my 7 yr/old daughter the same thing.
Edit: wow I just reached the end of this video and.. You're a wonderful human being. As someone dealing with a deprived inner child, I'm glad you exist.
This has probably already been mentioned fifty times in the comments, but read the book. It's pretty transformative. Some of the chapters and images have stuck with me for years.
The book is much better and covers twice as much.
Momo, also by Michael Ende, is another great book.
Thats with all book to movie transfers. Sounds cliché and pompous, but.. please read the book!!
I was the perfect age for this when it came out. It has always remained one of my favorite childhood films. The messages of hope and never stop dreaming still resonate.
I always love how Bastian's first wish is to fly, and his second is REVENGE!
I read an article about this movie and the book. It referenced Artax in the book was a small horse that could talk. And he actually explains to Atreyu why he’s sad and how lonely he is and tells him to leave him. I cried reading that. I saw this movie as a child of the 80s. I told my kids how cool it was back then. Every movie made us feel like there was adventure anytime we went outside. Take me back. 💜💜💜
It is better without him being able to talk.
I think it's so important to take children seriously. Not to make them serious, but to hear them and recognize their interests and experiences. This movie didn't pander, or hold back from real emotion - it takes children seriously. We need them, dreamers of every age, if anything is ever going to change.
An interesting note, the movie ends at the half way point of the book. The true reason it's called the neverending story isn't revealed until the second half. Don't want to spoil for anyone who reads the book though.
I'm just thankful they didn't try to fit the whole thing into a single film like Disney tends to do with their classic novel cartoons and movies.
The way they did the Sphinx gate always made me laugh lol no he didn’t run and dodge fire bombs in the book haha he felt confident and calmly walked through but I guess they wanted more spectacle in the movie 😂
Children are the future. When I first saw the movie, it scared me. I was six years old, and I didn't really see the first one until I was 8. I got to know the tale of Bastian through the second film, and though not a masterpiece I still found myself drawn into the story, waking something inside and gave me so much inspiration to write my own stories that I'm still writing to this day. As I got older, life was rough, but in 2014 I decided to embark on something I found intimidating as a kid. Being diagnosed with dyslexia, I always had trouble reading. But one day, I decided I wanted to read, or in this case, listen to, an audiobook while I was working. And that's when I thought about the neverending story. Halfway through chapter 5, I went to my local bookshop and bought the original book, and since then, reading has become a big part of my life. I now own 5 copies of that very same book, one in silk, one in the original German, one misprint and a small pocket version. No matter how many times I've read it or gone over to other stories, I still find myself coming back to that very book that now resides in a glass box on my shelf.
As of today, I've read it 16 times. It truly is a neverending story, both book and the 2 films, one that I will cherish to the day I pass.
Now, I tell my stories to my children, and I owe it all to the one who started it all.
Loved your reaction💙💙 I highly recommend reading the original book by Michael ended. It truly is a story for the ages.📖
I can't even guess how many times I seen this as a kid growing up in the 80s-90s, and never got tired of it. If I said 100 times I don't think I would be exaggerating at all. Glad you enjoyed! I definitely enjoyed watching your reaction!!!
I'm really enjoying getting to know the real Imon. I'm so glad you've let her out 🥰 And yes, just the other day someone brought up to me how is clearly about the multiverse, Bastian and Atreus being fractals of the same oversoul.
Also, apparently we're all doing shadow work not on our child self but on our preteen/teen ones, cause THEY are the ones that decided it was better to listen to adults/fear and turn the magic of the child off.
Being a latchkey kid and the oldest of five at age 9 I had to watch my siblings. I was a shy and awkward child and I was told that I couldn't have my head in the clouds. I had very low self-esteem and a lot of self-doubt.
Being told what I believed to be a natural thing like having an imagination was wrong, I was forced to grow up. It's nice to know that you share my feelings.
I'm so glad you got to experience this part of my childhood. This was a defining part of me and I am so glad when so many people get to see it versus me having to scrounge for VHS's in the video store in my small town. Keep up the amazing reactions and I love your journey.
This is 80s kids movies for you lol. I cant imagine nowdays a movie like this.
Falkor!! This movie is my childhood. I enjoyed watching you watching it in the middle of the night.
Probably the first ever movie I watched that made me cry. I'm now 42 years old and seeing Artax die and the Empress crying and begging for her name.. I still cry.
Beautiful. Wonderful. The movie, the story, the message, and you. Thank you xx 😢😭🤧🙂
Absolutely PHENOMENAL video, Imon . You completely blew me away with you reaction and all that you said after it had finished. I could talk about this with you for hours, but obviously can’t. I’m 42 years-old and a husband and Dad and all that you said resonated with me. I watched this film as a child and you’re absolutely right, we do try and stop our children from doing this and holding them back; my daughter is four and a half, and I feel like I stop her already. We have to change and break the cycle and let them imagine, let them dream.
Thank you so, so much for your beautiful words!
This is my childhood! I loved this growing up. It scared me but it also intrigued me. Watching it as an adult it feels like the book helped Bastien process the stages of grief
That swamp scene is still so emotional!
Poor Artax. Glad he came back at the end
I was nine years old when the movie released and watched it in the theatre. It has a special place in my heart. I cry every time I watch it. Thank you for a beautiful reaction to a beautiful movie.
I watched that movie like 100 times as a kid, had it on VHS, love it till this day. Deep psychology and therapy for (not only tho) kids, amazing :) Glad people discovering it till this day :) Wisdom is universal and timelessl, it is not "new", that's why such movies are timeless. Nothing new since ancient greek, the same ideas, wisdom and stories, just in new fashions :) Love your commentary, thx!
Thank you for this reaction! It's such an important message and I really appreciate your thoughts afterwards. I subscribed!
This is one of my all time favourite movies from my childhood. I still love watching this as an adult for the many reasons you spoke about- a reminder to believe in your own dreams, have confidence in yourself and not let others bring you down or tell you your path. That and the importance of imagination to uplift your spirit! So lovely to see someone else discover this gem from the eighties, they dont make em like they use to! 🥰 hugs!
This movie still makes me cry. It’s a powerful movie that still hits just as hard today as it did when it came out. Keep dreaming & never lose your imagination.
You know what? I grew up with this movie, and I always loved it even though I never absorbed the moral of the story. I just thought it was a cool world where the boy could get lost and avoid his problems for while. Thank you for helping me see it differently.
....and it's a very GOOD Moral....
If you happen to be an OYSTUH! 🦪
I'm so sorry to hear what you went through in your childhood days this movie sends out messages and I love watching it over and over stay strong my prayers with you 🙌
Watching this as an adult, wow. A lot of subtle profoundness.
Old head here. Thank you for taking the time to see my favorite childhood movie. We are all fighting against the nothing.
I’m so glad you understand this movie. I’m 48 and I feel exactly how you do. I’ve never let go of my childhood self because it’s the greatest and most beautiful part of who we are.
In this world it is something you have to fight for, but it’s worth the fight.
We are the conscious universe,
And we are the dreamer of dreams.
What a great movie to have never seen and you get to watch it for the first time now. That’s fire.
Lol I just watched this 3 months ago!! I use to watch this back in the 80s. Brought back mems. ❤️❤️ Great video Imon!
I was 5 when this movie released in theatres and my mom took me to see it the first day. It was the greatest movie I'd ever seen as a child. My mom hates this movie, she ended up buying it for me on VHS so she could stop going to video rental stores trying to find it for me and I watched it over and over. A few years after the movie released one of my elementary school teachers brought in a book that had mailing addresses for fan clubs of different movies and tv shows that were popular with kids at the time like ALF, Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton), Bastien (Barret Oliver), Corey Haim and Corey Feldman just to name a few and we'd fight each other for the book in class. About 3 weeks after you wrote a letter and sent it to the fan clubs address, you'd get a heartfelt thank you letter that the stars didn't write in response to your letter the stars didn't read. It came with autographed pictures and some stickers or a small toy.
Oh lawd this is gonna make me cry just watching someone watch this. Nostalgia is about to chill me right to the bone.
The most important and profound scene is the conversation with the wolf and, of all people, you had the best reaction. That scene was truly shocking for me, as a kid, when I first saw the movie (when it actually came out)
Yaaay I love the content you’re choosing lately
You're a beautiful person. Watching your reaction was how I felt, when I watched this back in the 1984. I'm a man, and I was 20 at the time. I'm 60 now and you had me in tears. The Horse scene was especially emotion evoking for me.
I 100% agree with you on saving, and nurturing the light. It's really hard to keep it lit through such dark times. I also came out of the dark after being in it for decades. It's important to keep going. I would escape my own bad situation in movies, and books. I was 2 when this movie came out, and there were many movies, and shows that helped me through tough times. I even got my morals for shows as a kid. Shows like Mr. Roger's, the Andy Griffith Show. So it definitely is important to monitor media consumption for kids. There is a big impact.
This reaction was so great. the message at the end always reminds me of my youth and how much i loved reading and creating.
Having grown up in the 80's, now 40 years later, I consider NES to be the greatest children's movie ever made. Young people today should heed the call of the film's message.
22:57. I could hear the audiance in a movie theater clapping. The whole theater clapping from this one scene.
God damn, that might be the best way I've ever heard that put. Kids can see how other people overcome their own sadness and sorrow. Well said.
I saw this beautiful movie when I was 6 years old in the 80s. You understood everything. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and for enjoying such a beautiful film, which means a lot in my life ❤
It’s nice to see someone who understands this movie.
This movie is amazing in so many ways and you just like Bastian are a very brave person for sharing your true feelings and I also think it can help a lot of people. Thank you so much!
Loved this reaction and the commentary! ❤️ I remember my dad bringing this movie home from the video store on a whim when I was five (I’m 43 now), and have loved it since the first time I saw it. Also, fun fact: Deep Roy, the actor who played the owner of the racing snail, played the Oompa Loompas (yup, all of them!) in _Charlie and the Chocolate Factory_ .😁
Same Here. I'm 44 & I saw this movie in the theaters when I was 6yrs old & it's still one of my favorite movies of All time. The Older I got & the more I watched this movie, the more I realized How Real & Deep this movie Was.
Me and my kid scavange old vhs tapes, shes always loved the horror movies. We repaired an old tube tv/vcr and since she was 6 she loved all these old movies. She has a nostalgia for a time she never lived in. It may seem sad but she makes her own stories and writes what she wants to see in the world. And she talks about it with her friends, most of them are online as how things work now. I'm glad she does, but I can't help to imagine her hanging out in a mall in the 80's playing games with friends in person.
You have to open your heart to watch this film. I watched for the first time when I was 9 when it first came out, and I have been a dreamer ever since.
This is my most favorite movie of all time. Im 45. It just introduced me to reading as i do today. It's every kid's fantasy.
I was never normal. Part of it is mental illness. There was a lot of darkness from an early age that became a form of trauma in itself because i suffered nightmares for every dream. I can count on one hand the happy/positive dreams I've had. I'll be 40 this summer. It never got addressed and sometimes i forget that it can also be a blessing. The parts of me that create and imagine needed to be broken and rebuilt by my own hand. Its never too late to imagine your creativity and create your imagination. Sometimes it's the only way to get there.
Being an 80s kid and seeing it when it was new, it is notorious for the Artax drowning scene as it made is all cry almost uncontrollably, very traumatizing. But at least this movie had us kids rallying at the end, especially when Falkor arrives and saves Atreyu. A lot of 80s kids films were traumatizing to us but at least the Neverending Story had a very positive message and had us all smiling by the end. Cocoon, Return to Oz, and The Boy Who could Fly were even more traumatizing.
I loved this movie for the same reason as James and the Giant Peach. The message is to live your dreams out. Considering almost all great accomplishments and creations start with dreams it’s a good lesson to hold onto. I’m 34 and I still laugh and cry about certain parts of this movie.
The Birthday Massacre cover of the theme slaps like E. Honda.
Your comments are so lifting even for me an older person who saw the never ending story when it came out
"With every step we take, the sadness grows in my heart. I've lost hope, master. And I feel so heavy, so heavy. I can't go on!" -Artax from the book
The suicide of a beloved companion 😥
We are in the Neverending story. you are watching it, we are watching you we are part of it with you
That speech at the end. This emptiness you talk about is a product of fear.
American Splendor is one of my favorites! Can't wait to see your reaction when it comes out.
I know I’m a year late, but when you are considering watching a *plethora* of movies, The Three Amigos must be on that list
This movie shaped my emotions as a kid
Your reaction during the movie and final comment was deep, emotional and heartwarming. I’ve seen The Neverending Story during its original run back in the 80’s and I have a lot of healthy nostalgia attached to it. Along with Labyrinth it would be the perfect 80’s fantasy double feature, and what is the most important, due to mostly practical special effects, both these movies aged very well and will be appreciated by young viewers for many years in the future 👍🏻
It's rare for me to pass out a like vote. So far I have never clicked dislike. Not even accidentally as far as I can tell. It's even more rare for me to drop a comment, but from the lhe halfhour mark onward, you poured your heart out to your audience and it resonated with me in a powerful way. I didn't speak, not even to myself much. I just observed and I felt something. I felt a connection.
At that half hour mark, for a moment, I was a bit disappointed. For the clips of the film to end that early meant there was more conversation after it rather than watching you directly react to the film live. i know youtube has its restrictions on how much of the actual film, and especially the music, you can post, but results seem to very and I'm generally in favor of those who posted more of the actual video because that also means more of the reactor's reaction is also there to see without having to climb over paywalls like patron.
But what you said . . . spoke to me. Spoke to my inner child and now as an adult and what's left of my inner child. i watched this in theaters when it first came out, but that means I was only 4 years old. Even after all that time, I understood the material only to a limited degree. Only to what a child would understand. Typically that is not the deep stuff. It's the overt stuff. My child self understood the wonder and majesty of the appeal of flying across Fantatia on a friendly luck dragon. Likewise, the wolf almost scared me away from seeing the film entirely and it planted a seed of fear of the world in me as if to say "This is why you should be afraid. This could happen to you."
I think maybe I am still that child because there's still a lot of depth I've never understood until you explained it in this video. As I watched you go on, part of me was in awe. I could feel my eyes widen slightly as new realizations sunk in. Thank you for that.
Your message primarily seemed to revolve around the value of youth and innocence. The wonder and importance of imagination and what it can create. Unlike me, you look at this from two perspectives. First, as a child, which I can relate to, and the flip side as a parent, which I can't relate to.
Recently I noticed, tonight in fact, that there was something magical about earlier films like in the 80's. To me, that was my youth. That was when I was a child. That was when the world was still new to me. Obviously I wasn't comparing it to films in later decades, but I can now. There are plenty that still entertains me, but look at films like this one, and Ghostbusters, and Terminator, and Gremlins, and Goonies. There is something in common with them all besides the decade they came out. There was a magic in them that's hard to explain, and even harder to explain why modern films lack it. They are still pretty good, but good like something produced in a factory. A "by the numbers" kind of feel while this feels unique. True magic. True message. True impact.
We are living a story and the most important aspect about it is what we learn from it. Stories like this carry us through a journey. We learn and grow from that too. There's still value in being the spectator. The Observer, but that can take effort too. As the observer, need to focus on inner growth and what the meaning of life means to you based on what you've learned.
I have created a playlist of important videos and added this video there. This message hits me hard cause rn I'm 14 and male and I'm struggling cause the child's wonder is slowly leaving me. People throughout my life have made me feel like I'm wrong and imagining and creating non- physical things is wrong and psychotic, unhealthy. I believed that til age 12 when I started to question the things people were telling me. Now I'm going through the teens and people think being childlike is awkward or corny. Thanks for being one person to speak out about this. I can't tell how grateful I am.
Please Keep going ! :)
Don't give up
Things do get easier as you get older and it sounds like you are already on the right track with a great mindset!
Just letting you know that I was right there with you, crying along, even though I very rarely do cry at movies. I haven't seen this movie in ages, an it was a great one to revisit. This is actually based on a 1979 book by one of the best German children's book authors ever, Michael Ende (Pretty ironic that his last name literally means "the end" by the way), and this movie is actually only the first third or so of the whle story! So if you enjoyed this movie, I'd highly recommend reading or listening to the original book, it's definitely worth it!
Also, for future reactions: Have you seen the Wizard of Oz, the 1939 one with Judy Garland? In my brain, it's somehow connectd to this movie, maybe they gave me similar vibes as a kid... But it's definitely a masterpiece in it's own right!
I'm gaining hope in humanity reading all these amazing comments❤️
The NeverEnding Story is a classic and a great reason.
You are precious Imon
I grew up a single child in a small town. Reading was just one of those things. My father would stress the importance constantly. A few hours of reading and you have the benefit of someones lifetime of experience. Books will take you places, not just in the here and now but into the past and into the future as well. I learned French history from Alexandre Dumas and Victor Hugo and experienced turn of the century England with Charles Dickens and Mary Shelly. Sadly, thanks to Disney and others, classic novels are diluted and twisted to fit into a 90 minute time frame to make them easy to digest and turn a profit. Young people will watch the Three Musketeer or The Hunchback of Notre Dame and other movies and some how think they know the story. Books hold a magic that can't be captured in HD or recreated with cgi.
When I was little I was the Childlike Empress for SEVERAL Halloweens.
This is one of my favorite reactions ever! It's exactly how I felt when I first watched this movie.
We are watching you, watching Sebastian, watching Atreyu on his journey… All of us on this beautiful, 80’s fantasy together. 🦄 🙏🏼😉
don't lose your imagination and creativity kids, keep dreaming big and don't let the nothing creep up on you!
I never watch post reactions. NEVER. But this was not a post reaction, it was an inspirational speech that EVERYONE should listen too. I never let go of my inner child, it allows me to disconnect from the problems of adulthood once in a while and just enjoy the simpler things in life. Keeping that innocence alive will definitely make everyone's life better, and letting children be children for as long as they can will have a beneficial impact on their personality and relationships in the long term.
I am 40+ now and I love this movie. I enjoyed it as a child back then, but it makes me cry even much more now at my age...I do not know, but it just does...
This movie is such a core memory for me.
came here to see a movie reaction and im bawling... thank you for this reaction that brought me back to when i was a child. subbed
You're a very bright light shining through the darkness. Just this one reaction has probably changed a life for the good, and it was because of you. I love fantasy. I have a story I've been living through to help me sleep. Been doing that for years. Can't sleep otherwise. Anyway I'm vibing! I'm subbed! Loved this reaction! You're amazing keep it up 😉
Thank your your sweet comment~
The swamp scenes were done on a wet stage, which is designed to be raised and lowered. The horse was never in any real danger. Noah Hathaway, on the other hand...
The story goes that on one take, part of Noah's costume got caught in the machinery, and it was dragging him under the waterline for real. He did, to his credit, stay in character, but the panic was genuine. And Wolfgang Petersen, cold-hearted professional that he was, decided that the *panicking* kid stays in the picture.
This movie always gets me crying my heart out too
I know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to say I'm so happy you got to watch this and fall in love with it, and I hope your kids loved it too! It's been a favorite of mine all my life (and I'm in my early 40s!) and I revisit it from time to time, and it never fails to make me cry. The lessons it imparts and you did so well talking about ARE important. I know I'm getting older but I feel like this movie is one of those things that kept me young and imaginative to this day :)
