When I was a kid, it was a big mystery in my household as to what the name was that Bastian screams out the window. I'm hard of hearing and when I was about 10 years old, got a closed captioning box to hook up to our tv (televisions in the early 90s didn't have captioning yet and a separate device was needed) and I was so excited that the captioner would be able to tell me. Got to that scene and I was rewarded with [unintelligible scream]. It wasn't until many years later where I decided to look it up in Wikipedia and found out it's "Moonchild" and I was profoundly disappointed.
I know. It's so stupid. The obvious choice should have been his mother's name. Back at the beginning of the Fantasia stuff when Bastion looks up from the book and says, "It's too bad they don't ask me. I know the perfect name.", I was like, "Sweet. It's going to be his mother's name." And then at the end he just yells some dumbass fanfic name. Missed opportunity.
She's not originally from Massachusetts, she was born and raised in Oklahoma, where just about every one claims Native American heritage if your of a certain age
She is originally from Oklahoma but has lived in Mass for several years. I have missed this show and would love to see them do the commentary for some they released in the last 3 months.
My family did the same thing--we had a native Great Grandmother somewhere. I haven't done a DNA test, but I have traced the genealogy back 9 generations. There's not a single native American. There's Canadian, British, Welsh, Irish, & (WTF) Finnish! So, where did my sister's dark skin come from?? She looks exactly like my dad. There's no chance for any Hanky Panky.
OH MY GOD! There is lot of joy in my heart in seeing your pretty faces back doing commentaries again. Normally I would be alarmed about such a high level of joy. But with everything coronavirus I'm learning to be kinder to myself! Oh my lord I am so happy! Thank you all for listening 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Edit: I know we kind of got reviews/general discussions for some of the HT movies but its lovely to see the 'formal' commentaries back :)
If you like the story, I strongly recommend reading Momo from the same author. It is a wonderful and also very .... existential story. German fairytails are.... fun lol
I also recommend watching the Movie based on the book. Unlike Neverending Story it actually got the approval of Ende, and it does a way better job adapting the story and its meaning. Especially the scene with the dolls and the design of the grey men is excellent.
I am so glad commentaries is back. I love hearing you guys talk about yer process and the back and fourth. You guys are part of the reason I've stayed mostly sane during the last 4 months. If u guys really need more content to do, I would love for you to go back and do the ones you've missed during the break. LOVE U GUYS!!!!
6:13 YES! I was always told my mom and grandmas slightly tan skin and dark hair was from our Native American ancestry...Nope, I did a 23&me and I have a whopping 0% native american DNA 🤷♀️. I was blown away and had to question everything else I had been told while growing up.
🤣 My family is the opposite my grandma always spoke about being so proud to be puerto rican/hispanic and she did 23 and me and turns out shes 20%taino indian 🤣 she was so sad Edited: for spelling
This is the happiest I've been since my wife left me on Valentine's! HTCommentaries is back, party people! I'm so giddy to see y'all bringing the same wonderfully upbeat anarchic magic that Danielle, Joe and Spenny do best 🤗🤗
cue the Randy Quaid meme, 'They're Back!!!' missed Danielle stifling laughs. missed Spencer's cynisnarkism, and missed Joe's being Joe. missed everyone being honest about commentary and showing their love for entertainment
Thanks guys, I didn't know about Milo and Otis and I used to love that movie. But because of your comments I looked it up and I had a deep cry for 5 mins.
Finally a new commentary in 3 months!! Since we got a short version of commentary on Rise of Skywalker. Commentary are my favorite part!!! Need to move this back to the SJ channel
You guys mispronouncing Rammstein reminded me of: they renamed the luck dragon Falcor for the english version, because the German name "Fuchur" was too close to the f-word :D
Whut? You don't have seen any German movies????? Here is a list of the absolute MUST SEE: Das Kabinett des Dr. Caligari (1921) Nosferatu (1922) Tartüff (1926) Die Abenteur des Princen Achmed (The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) - Oldest surviving animated movie, and yes, it predates Snow White, and yes, Walt Disney for sure know this movie) Metropolis (1927) (Honestly, everything by Fritz Lang is worth a watch, but this one and "M" (1932) are easily the most important). Berlin - Alexanderplatz (1931 or the version from 1980) Das Mädchen Rosemarie (1958) Die Brücke (1959) Angst essen Seele auf (1974) Jakob der Lügner (1975) Das Boot (1979) (Honestly, you have never seen Das Boot? It was a huge deal....) Die Blechtrommel (1978) Der Himmel über Berlin (1986) Lola Rennt (1997) Or you might no it as Run, Lola, Run Good Bye Lenin (2001) Pina (2009) Personally I would also add "In den Gängen", "Das Wunder von Bern", "Er ist wieder da". "Smog", "Das Millionenspiel", "Brecht's Dreigroschenfilm"...though the latter one is very heady.
Fun fact: The movie was filmed in the Bavaria Film Studios near Munich, Germany. Two other german movies to watch: "Das Boot" and "Enemy Mine". Both also filmed in that studio.
Oh, and the film actually only covers the first half of the book (the book is 26 chapters and a prologue, the film wraps it up around chapter 13 or 14), so there's a whole other plot in the second half of the book which chronicles Bastian's adventures in rebuilding Fantasia and then becoming so power-hungry he turns on his friends (the idea od him losing a memory every time he makes a wish from the second film is from this half of the book)...
Honestly, I would cut the book in three parts...first part being the one which (mostly) made it into the movie which covers Atreyu's journey, ending with him coming back to the empress thinking that he has failed, the second part which covers the empress convincing Bastian to finally say her name and the Bastian creating his own version of Fantasia up to him becoming powerhungry, and the last part, when Bastian has "fallen from grace" so to speak and is looking for a way home. And the third part might actually be the best one, despite being the most bleak.
Also, Pratchett's novels are *amazing*. The Watchmen series is utterly brilliant (except the last one) and the Death series is also excellent. Plus, the non-discworld book "Nation" is one of the best novels ever written.
German here: Most (good) German movies are more like dialogue-heavy dramas in our day and age. (Even if we had ouf fair share of crappy Comedys). Not a lot of on-Set drama and injured actors. On the other hand, some 80s German moviemakers had kind of a rep for making weird stuff and also bringing actors to their limits.And just a sidefact: This movie and especiallly the Book is still kind of a big deal over here in Germany. There is even a NeverEnding Story Studio Tour in Munich.
Honestly, I don't think that you can put the German movie into a box....there are some Genres which can be clearly defined, like the "Heimatfilm", the typical German School movie (which is different from the typical american school movie in that it tends to focus more on the relationship between pupils and teachers than on the relationships of pupils with each other), German expressionism, the whole sexploitation genre, a huge chunk of movies based on children literature....it is true, though, that there is a chunk of movies which focus on German history and the German Zeitgeist and yes, they tend to be more on the explotation side.
Artax wasn't hurt in that scene, but it almost killed Atreyu. He got pulled under the water in that scene, had the horse fall on him in another, which is where he broke his back, and cracked ribs when the Gmork pounced him. It was rough. Also, Milo and Otis allegations were never proven, and were happened because people seeing the movie feared what they were seeing couldn't have been done humanely. Of course, we'll never know for sure, but I'm going to choose to believe those little guys were ok. Regardless, that's not where the "No animals were harmed" thing came from. That was already in place, and was included in the credits for Milo and Otis.
I can’t begin to explain how happy I am about this.
I’ve missed the commentary so much.
I once paid for this content
I like these more than the actual trailers.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSS! Honest trailer Commnentary is back!!!!!!!!!!!!....any chance you do commentaries for the honest trailers of the last weeks?
The Snyder Cut one will be awkward....
Yes agree please I cried when I saw the thumbnail pls more pls
doooo iit
@@originalindigodingo they get to do another Snyder cut one in 2021 though. That is one i am looking forward to!
Yes, please!
A Goofy Movie needs a mother hyuck-in’ commentary bois!
Honest trailer commentaries is back?!
I missed you guys, my favourite show after SJU
So happy to see the return of the superior version of honest trailers, hopefully I can return to only watching the commentaries now.
Honest Trailer Commentaries is my favourite thing about this channel. So glad it's back.

It sounds better in German "Mondenkind".
🤣
@@swanpride That sounds like what it would be in Lord of the Rings.
I know. It's so stupid. The obvious choice should have been his mother's name.

“That’s why I give Elizabeth Warren some slack”
“She’s from Massachusetts?!”
I’m so glad this show is back

Edit: I know we kind of got reviews/general discussions for some of the HT movies but its lovely to see the 'formal' commentaries back :)
So glad to see Commentaries back!
Fun Fact: The Author of the book is called Michael Ende, Ende is the german word for the end.
If you like the story, I strongly recommend reading Momo from the same author. It is a wonderful and also very .... existential story. German fairytails are.... fun lol
I also recommend watching the Movie based on the book. Unlike Neverending Story it actually got the approval of Ende, and it does a way better job adapting the story and its meaning. Especially the scene with the dolls and the design of the grey men is excellent.
I've missed this, so glad to have Commentaries back 😄

Yeah, one whole episode of playing "Was That German?" sounds interesting. 👍👍
Yay! Commentary is back! Thanks so much 🤗. Thanks Daniele, Joe, and Spenny!!!
Thank you for coming back! I can only watch the commentary for Japanese Spider-Man so many times
This is the happiest I've been since my wife left me on Valentine's! HTCommentaries is back, party people! I'm so giddy to see y'all bringing the same wonderfully upbeat anarchic magic that Danielle, Joe and Spenny do best 🤗🤗
Woah. That’s rough ... especially since a pandemic was what followed. **hugs** Hope the second half of 2020 is better.
"Starring" section was one of the greatest - so many cross-references to geek culture - loved it!
I have missed the commentaries SO MUCH! Welcome back, y'all!
Yay you're back!
Also, on the subject of German movies, I'm actually surprised that you've not seen Das Boot.
Thank goodness. I've been missing commentaries so much.
35:30 Thankyou for finally explaining that weird ass skull! I have noticed it in the background for months!
cue the Randy Quaid meme, 'They're Back!!!'
missed Danielle stifling laughs. missed Spencer's cynisnarkism, and missed Joe's being Joe. missed everyone being honest about commentary and showing their love for entertainment
Glad you guys are doing Honest Trailers commentaries again.
Yay for the Discworld love! There are also three great miniseries based on some of the books: Hogfather, The Colour of Magic and Going Postal.
So happy honest commentaries are back! And so glad it was for this movie!
Finally! Thank you for bringing this back!
You guys do know Artax talked in the book, right? Imagines what that scene would have been like in the film if he also talked...
HOMEST COMMENTARIES!!!!!!! Missed you guys, glad you're back!!
I saw commentaries are back and this jumped immediately to the front of my youtube queue. Commentary hype.
I’d been singing “this is the song that doesn’t end” for 30 minutes and just died laughing went it was a deleted title
So glad commentary is back!
Happy this is back. I missed this.
Danielle: that’s a cult
I can’t remember the last time I laughed so loud since the start of this pandemic
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS. I missed Honest Trailers Commentary!
I have really missed honest trailer commentary! I am glad you are doing them again
I have missed these so much! So happy to see you all back!
Loved the Discworld reference as a massive fan of that series 😊
I missed these commentaries so much. Very glad you all found a way to do them again.
Danielle in the thumbnail makes me so happy! More of that please!
Thanks guys, I didn't know about Milo and Otis and I used to love that movie. But because of your comments I looked it up and I had a deep cry for 5 mins.
YAY FOR HT COMMENTARY RETURNING AT LONG LAST
It's been a minute. This is my favourite part of the week!
I HAVE MISSED THIS. OH GOD I'VE MISSED THIS
Finally a new commentary in 3 months!! Since we got a short version of commentary on Rise of Skywalker. Commentary are my favorite part!!!
Need to move this back to the SJ channel
Danielle’s hair has never looked better
I don't know about that, but yes, it is cute. Not that we should judge Danielle by her hair!
I am glad someone said cuz I wàs going to.
@@possidonnanobit5208 Changing one's hair a lot does invite the question. But Danielle makes good choices.
I don't understand what the angst is about African hair. You can do a lot more things than with straight hair and still have it look planned.
@@josephfisher426 she wears wigs btw.
Oh, hi guys! I've been watching old Commentaries since the 'Rona. Missed you guys. I hope you and yours are healthy and safe! 😁🙏🏽
Could you guys do honest commentaries for all the other honest trailers you didn't do commentaries for?
Are we ever getting an E.T. Honest Trailer for this Blockbuster Summer?
No Dan though which kinda ruins it
I'm so glad she said that. I loved this movie too, & the Honest Trailer was so glum!!
yay commentary is back :) i missed this
This was sooo funny! Great video!
That horse was so traumatizing!
i love this show, i always find it more interesting listening to people talk about a movie than just the trailer on its own
can you go back and do a commentary for A Goofy Movie? - ah-hyuck
Yeah!! Missed you guys talking about that other show!
Joe's cat is much more casual than mine about getting on video chat.
If we are doing 80's fantasy films, can you do WILLOW please!! Val Kilmer was my first crush as a very young kid. Love that movie!
I missed this show so much
Now that Honest Trailers Commentary is back....so is my campaign for TANK GIRL!
thanks for the laughs, ive missed this show
Bout time that honest trailer commentary is back
Missed this SO much!
I love this show. 💕💕
Yay! Please tell me you will be doing some makeup work and put out commentaries for all the honest trailers that didn't get one.
You guys mispronouncing Rammstein reminded me of: they renamed the luck dragon Falcor for the english version, because the German name "Fuchur" was too close to the f-word :D
Thank you for introducing me to that New Found Glory album
Welcome back! Watching honest trailers felt naked without this. With that being said, DO ONE FOR HARLEY QUINN! Please?
We need Honest Trailers for Das Boot, Run Lola Run, and Aguirre: the Wrath of God. Call it the Seasonal Affected Depression Winter series...
Honest Trailer: Every Werner Herzog documentary
They still need to do brotherhood of the wolf
Whut? You don't have seen any German movies?????
Here is a list of the absolute MUST SEE:
Das Kabinett des Dr. Caligari (1921)
Nosferatu (1922)
Tartüff (1926)
Die Abenteur des Princen Achmed (The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) - Oldest surviving animated movie, and yes, it predates Snow White, and yes, Walt Disney for sure know this movie)
Metropolis (1927) (Honestly, everything by Fritz Lang is worth a watch, but this one and "M" (1932) are easily the most important).

Der Himmel über Berlin (1986)
Lola Rennt (1997) Or you might no it as Run, Lola, Run
Good Bye Lenin (2001)
Pina (2009)
Personally I would also add "In den Gängen", "Das Wunder von Bern", "Er ist wieder da". "Smog", "Das Millionenspiel", "Brecht's Dreigroschenfilm"...though the latter one is very heady.
Joe... Yes... NFG and/or Warped Tour 👊🤣❤️
I’ve missed HTC sooooo much
IT’S BACK!! YAY!!!!!
Yes, this was our favorite movie growing up!
Fun fact: The movie was filmed in the Bavaria Film Studios near Munich, Germany.
Two other german movies to watch: "Das Boot" and "Enemy Mine". Both also filmed in that studio.

And the third part might actually be the best one, despite being the most bleak.
Danielle and I would have been friends as kids. Because it was my favorite movie too. :)
Hallelujah! HTC is back!
I missed this 💯💯💯💯💯
HONEST TRAILER COMMENTARY IS BACK, BABEEEEE!
Also, Pratchett's novels are *amazing*. The Watchmen series is utterly brilliant (except the last one) and the Death series is also excellent. Plus, the non-discworld book "Nation" is one of the best novels ever written.
And there are a few amazing Discworld Movies...
Commentaries are Back!! Yay!
6:40 Hey Indian in the cupboard is a underrated classic
Agreed. Great kids book series with a fun and faithful movie adaptation.
But why did I imagine the hentai with a many tentacled Falcor? 😭
Great to have you all back. Joe will love Discworld.
Hooray!! I’ve missed this!
Happy to have you guys back ? How come you guys switched channels?
Requesting an Honest Trailer for one of the BBC Discworld adaptations
hogfather was pretty good too
Yes! More creepy bone stories please!

Keep playing "Was that German", please! (Btw Run, Lola, Run is German, you were right)
Hooray, commentary returns!
Welcome back!
Joe: everyone has their favorite Discworld book, and I am no different, so check out "Going Postal"
There's a fantastic German vampire movie called We Are the Night. Somewhat dark, but not drown-your-horse dark.
Long have I waited!
