That moment with Artax sinking in to the swamp was a defining moment in my childhood, probably the first time I ever cried watching a movie. even just watching it while you blabber over the top makes me tear up.
Same
same. I literally have no memory of anything else in this movie but that horse sinking in the mud!
Oh gods, that scene defined so many childhoods
Yooo SAME!
Same. I was afraid to watch this movie for like 10 years because I was so traumatized by Artax’s death.
Everyone talks about the swamp scene with Artax, but the scene that always stuck with me was Atreyu and the Rock Biter. "They look like big, good, strong hands." The feeling of defeat and despair. The swirling evil clouds of Nothing in the background. It always creeped the hell out of me.
Atreyu has a song I like.
I love you.
Carpet biter
@@Lucky_Chase Shut up, baby, I know it.
Its just AMAZING how much they put in to a few lines. How the strong giant couldnt do shit and then he just gives up. How anyone decided to sin this line is just beyond me
When I saw the oracle scene for the first time and it said that only a human child could give the Empress a new name, I asked my parents 'But Atreyu is a human, why can't he give the name?' And that was how I found out that people who look like humans in movies aren't always humans. Thanks NeverEnding Story.
They should've made Atreyu green like he was in the book.
Considering when it was made, i can’t get over how well the practical/matte effects have stood the test of time.
Just like Labyrinth, those SFX guys were at the top of their game...
Watching this video and seeing the effects also reminded of labyrinth but that was because I remember the effects and how everything looked really scaring me as a child lol. It’s all just kinda creepy.
... especially since the movie was filmed in Germany (Bavaria Film Studios near Munich), and Germany's movie industry wasnt known to be a powerhouse.
I made my nieces watch this a month ago. The 7-year-old broke down crying at the horse scene and said " You're causing me EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!" 🤣
Welcome to youth we all experienced its horror tiny human!
Today in what never happened :)
Did she throw her shoe down?
This was the case for me as a child!
Life is Cold. Dress appropriately.
The reason Atreju doesn't drown in the swamp of sadness is the medallion he wears, which is covered in the book (8:35).
Ah, that makes sense. 💡🙂
Ruvi my friend, I think you know reading is a sin.
If you need to read the book to understand the film that means the screenwriters failed at their job.
@@mrcat3493 I must be going blind; I misread Ruvi's comment! LOL! I read it as, "...the medallion he wears, which is on the cover of the book". (The book in the film has that same medallion on the front cover). I thought Ruvi just sussed it out.
They say in the film that the Auryn protects the wearer from harm. Jeremy denies that it does this and then proceeds to ask how Atreyu survives the Swamps of Sadness 🙄
My nostalgia will not allow me to find anything wrong with this movie.
My thoughts exactly
But the horse *literally died*
Same feelings here.
I agree...
yup, same here
I watched this movie, then read the book about a month after.
It was a really surreal experience. I was honestly extremely concerned about what I would name the empress for like 40% of the book, it was such a weird fuckin feeling lol. I literally called out the name I picked. Dead-ass. I said “Ellie” or whatever name seemed to fit and popped into my head.
Also no shame I cried during the movie when Atrax died and when the rock giant and his friends got swallowed by The Nothing.
Me when making fun of a movie I haven't seen or heard of:
"Hahaha so funny."
Me when making fun of childhood memories:
"Oh hell no!!"
Yeah, your inner young self is a self-important piece of trash.
Right?! 😂
@@christinamatzen4214 Right!!😄
There’s not a single movie without a sin 🤷🏻 but still the offense is harsh lmao
@@-Apothecary- At least he removes 5 sins at 19:55
Very little creeps me out in movies but Gmork still somehow manages. Something about his animatronics just gets to me. On top of that, he's a genuinely evil character with those motivations of his 😅.
I just remember how shitty that last scene with him looked when I watched the movie in school
This movie was the first movie to ever give me nightmares, specifically because of Gmork. Horror movies, monster movies, dinosaur movies… none of it caused nightmares, but frickin’ Gmork haunted my dreams for over a decade.
Definitely. Those animatronics really work for me as do the green eyes but I think it's the voice that's really the icing on the cake. It's kind of understated and it never really raises it's voice which is much scarier than if it had sounded upset the whole time. It's like he knows he's scary as hell and doesn't need to prove it.
then James and the Giant Peach had to go and one up it.
@@uosdwiSrdewoH seriously tho. I'm almost 30 and the ring still freaks me out
The death of the horse is still the saddest thing ive ever witnessed 😂
It's meant to be a metaphor for the grief that the boy reading the book ( & his father ) are secretly going through of the deceased mother and it being unresolved . 🕯📖🙇🐲
I love that he took 5 sins off for the cheesy, "Yeeeaah!!" scream.
Also, if you ever want to read the book (and I highly recommend that you do), get your hands on a hardcover copy. You won't regret it.
Totally the correct scream for getting a luck dragon as a pre-teen
Unfortunately not all hardcover books have the beautiful detailed illustrations for all the chapters.
Rockbiter: [holding up his hands] They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were. Oh, my little friends... the little man with his racing snail, the Nighthob, even the stupid bat. I couldn't hold onto them. The Nothing pulled them right out of my hands. I failed.
Atreyu: No, you didn't fail. I'm the one who failed. I'm the one who was chosen to stop the Nothing. But I lost the Auryn, I can't find my luckdragon, so I won't be able to get beyond the boundaries of Fantasia!
[A crash is heard]
Rockbiter: Listen. The Nothing will be here any minute. I will just sit here, and let it take me away too. [holds up his hands again] They look like good, strong hands, don't they?
[Atreyu nods sadly]
@Shadovar I'M NOT CRYING! YOU'RE CRYING! Weird, this is the second time I've written this tonight. LOL.
The movie is a favourite from my childhood, but the book is definitely better. Spoliers: Bastian becomes the villain in the book - a young boy corrupted by absolute power, who proclaims himself the new Emperor of Fantastica - and it's fantastic. Every wish he makes with the Gem causes him to lose more of his memories, until he forgets even his own name, and the book subsequently refers to him as 'the boy with no name'.
Bastian is also chubby in the Books and looks like a Nerd
dang, that's dark af
I just love Gmork!
He scared the shit out of me as a kid but i couldn't take my eyes off. Today his words hit even harder. Would have loved to see/read more of him in the second and third book...
I want a schipperke puppy cause they look like Gmork.
There is only one book.
He was where my childhood phobia of dogs came from.
Dude Gmork gave me so many friggin nightmares!
I loved the book when I was a kid and I was so excited when I found out there was a movie. But then I watched the movie, and had a whole little rage tantrum about how bad it was in comparison to the book lol
Read the book y’all, it’s amazing
I'm the opposite. Probably due to never reading the book until about 6 years ago. Absolutely love the movie and wore a couple vhs tapes out as well as needing to get a new DVD copy. My kids love it as well and glad to see they had the same trauma to Artaxs death as I did lol. I need to reread the book. The first half I loved and felt like they done a decent job following the main plot points. The second half was like the second movie and I couldn't wait for it to be over
Ok, granted, but I am not exaggerating when I tell you, as a full grown adult watching for the first time, I LOST MY SH*T when the Empress started talking about the movie viewers. I still consider it one of the best movie moments I've ever experienced.
Can't get over how young these kids look to me now. when you see this movie when you're 5-6 years old, it's like watching grownups lol One thing I noticed as a grownup, Atreyu's quest leads him in one big giant circle ending up right where he started. Quite a roundabout way to get some kid interested in reading to save imagination land.
I didn’t think they were adults but watching this as like a 5 year old I thought they were like teenagers. In reality they were preteens.
@@rachelcookie321 right? of course when I was 5 I thought teenagers were ollld too
"The answer was there the whole time" or that kind of thing seems to be a common movie trope, there is one in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (great movie) but I won't give it away.
@@sarahberkner Walter Mitty is another great movie!
As a kid I loved this movie, and a large part of the appeal was the awesome opening sound. I had no idea the name Bastian chose was "Moon Child". As a kid I had no idea what he screamed out.
I was literally 33yo before I finally thought to google what Bastian yelled, 22yo after I had first seen the movie
No one did. It was undiscernable.
No sins off for the fourth wall breaking? That was brilliant and really creepy. That girl (the Empress) kinda freaked me out as a kid.
Still my favorite fantasy movie as a child and still love this movie, along with the original Superman, Star Wars and Terminator and of course The Exorcist 🤣
I misread this and thought you said The Exorcist was one of your favorite fantasy children's movies and was veryyy concerned for you lol you have a great taste in media bro
@@Imanwonn 🤣🤣🤣🙏
I watched this solely to see you give infinity sins to Artax dying and you glossed over it like a monster.
Jeremy is 8 years older then me and I'm 40 next year which means he probably watched this as a teen vs a kid and doesn't have the same kinda nostalgia for it as those who saw it young
I can't tell u how many times i rented this movie as a kid. Was my favorite.. Up until a few years ago i still thought nostalgia would carry that feeling.. It kinda did. Some things seem goofy now. But as a kid. This blew my head back everytime
Same for me. Watched this movie obsessively every single day for maybe 6 months to a year at age 7. In my country we couldn't buy this one on VHS (back in 1994), so my mom drove me to the local movie rental store to renew the lease, every week, without fail. Must've spent an absolute fortune for my sake. Moms are legends.
Same! Everytime my mom would let me go rent a movie, I'd get just end up getting this. It was the first movie she ever just bought so she could stop renting it every weekend.
I remember going to the movies and seeing this in the theater on my 8th birthday. It was an instant favorite! However, my brother learned to despise it because once it was released on VHS, I'd watch it over and over... lol
OMG. The Pink Floyd quote at the end…”There’s no darl side of the moon really…” I will love this channel for the rest of time.
Also, “Moonchild” makes me think the screenwriter had a thing for Aleister Crowley, if I do say so myself. But it was the title of one of his books so…
He absolutely did. At least according to his Wikipedia entry...
The Artax scene man… I’m still not over it
‘Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film "The Never Ending Story"’- Lionel Hutz
3:05, his sponsor for the day is a book subscription service...and he sins reading! I love this channel XD
10:36 That damn thing gave me nightmares when I first saw it when I was a kid 😰
Thank God I wasn't the only one!
Same bro
Nothing, nothing is wrong with NeverEnding Story!
J/k I actually never venerated this movie as much as many appear to have, but still, overall it was a fun fantasy movie that on the surface was aimed at kids, yetactually dealt with a lot of adult themes.
It's kind of like a sister movie to The Princess Bride in that it's fantasy about how fantasy is all comfortable lies.
@@Loromir17 fantasy or fiction in this case is not about lies. Concepts are not lies. The emotional reaction one gets form the situations and story elements real or imagined are a spark for self awareness and examination.
People who hate on fiction because it is "not real", are just folks who do not learn from this method of thought.
Just wait until he does neverending story 2
@@erich6860 I was talking more about it often teaching a wrong lesson.
@@Synthespian13 I used to like that movie as a kid and then I watched it several years ago and thought it sucked so much ass.
Was watching this movie with my sister and her two sons. During the scene where the bullies throw him in the trash, my sister says to her boys, “Kids, don’t ever be like that.” I thought she meant the bullies and was glad she gave them a little lesson on being kind, but then she goes, “Never be a weak loser that gets thrown in dumpsters.” True story
This made me cry with laughter. But she´s right tho
I, uh... truly hope she was kidding 😅
@@MidnightSonnet she was completely serious. Trust me
@@rheverend that's horrifying. I feel bad for her sons. Rather hypocritical of her, considering she's being the bully in that situation and is pretty much guaranteeing that her sons will be bullies in order to live up to her standards. -_- I'm concerned for their future.
@@MidnightSonnet she’s essentially the bully from 80s teen movies 😆
Is nothing sacred to you? This is one of my favorite childhood stories... Damn you!
3:30 "If you were Bastian, who was told this book was 'dangerous,' and the first few sentences set up what sounds like a horror story, only to shift gears and become 'Jim Henson Goes to Camp', wouldn't you maybe just go take the math test instead?"
You would rather take a math test than watch a Jim Henson movie? Okay, have fun with that test.
I remember back in the 90s when i was a child, my dad came to me all "there was this fantasy movie on tv i recorded for you and a horse dies in it". I never forget that. Yes dad that's how you make a pre-teen horse girl want to see the movie lmfao
For a 90 minute movie, it felt loooong to watch
OH SNAP. More movies from my childhood please. Loved this movie when I was little. Watched it within the past year and love the cheesiness of it.
I love this movie. And this is one of the funniest sins videos I’ve seen. Every joke had me laughing.
When I was a kid I loved The Never Ending Story, same with my daughter when she was young. We watched it a few years back as she's a young adult and both of us were kind of amazed at how so much of the lines for Atreju were literally screaming. Still an interesting movie if you turn volume down.
Missed a perfectly good sin of “Moonchild? He named her Moonchild, is his name Bastian or Frank Zappa?” 🤣
Also needed a sin or maybe 1,000,000 for “The End”… and an outtake of Otto from the Simpsons saying “this is flagrantly false advertising” for the title “The Neverending Story”
Oh and +1 for Artrax death scene scaring another childhood.
I agree with all of the errors noted, but I still adore the film nonetheless.
This movie influenced an ENTIRE generation's paradigm about pursuing our dreams and working towards making them reality in our lives, which all started back when we first saw this as kids in the 80s. This film, its message and life lessons are TIMELESS. And yes, we ALL cried when Artax died. 💖👍💯😎
My favorite part about the sinning of the eighty page jump was that that is one of the few parts of this adaptation that is very accurate that is about how long it takes to read between those 2 sections
17:47 Had me in tears I won’t lie.
At 16:00, about the child neglect:
Dude…it was the 1980s. Some kids walked home alone and let themselves in with a key they kept on a bracelet, and no one had a cellphone.
Ah yes. I remember watching this movie, and its sequel, over and over again at grandma's house. Then the third one came out, and I suddenly stopped watching them so much.
The third movie ruined the entire series for me. I love Jack Black, but goddamn, that movie was awful.
I absolutely love these movies. Such nostalgia for me.
Got to give him time to grieve Artax, its been nearly 40 years and it still gets me sad to think about it!
This is still one of my favorite movies from being a kid. The book was sooooo different though. You can read the book and watch the movie and never even feel like it's the same story for long stretches. And the family movie "Cloak & Dagger" and "Spacecamp" with "The Goonies" being the ultimate favorite and "The Lost Boys" (I know weird because it's not a kid's movie).
Cloak and dagger blew my mind when my mom rented it for me at like 5. I would sit and stare off into space off and on thru out my childhood pondering that movie. At least until I got into boys
No. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. This movie is PERFECT.
'The Nothing' is wrong with this movie
@@DanceySteveYNWA 😂😂😂
@@giba2349 looking back I now see this was a lame attempt at a joke. My apologies. (stop laughing at me!)
@@DanceySteveYNWA no no I thought it was really funny and genuinely laughed at this!!
@@giba2349 oh, sorry. I'm just so used to people being sarcastic in RUclips comments, I assumed you were being too. Glad I made you laugh! ✌️
I rewatched this the other month and I still enjoyed it, not as much as my now dead inner child but enjoyed it all the same !
That final flight with Falkor... look, I'm man enough to admit that, when I saw that, my first thought was "AW HELL YEAH!!!! That's what I would have wished, too!" And I may or may not have actually voiced that aloud in a busy theater at the time.... very loudly...
I lost the DVD, but watching this makes me want to rewatch The Neverending Story again! Damn!
I could never understood what name Bastian was yelling out into the thunderstorm until many many many years later.
Also, if Bastian never read the book Artax would not have died.
Also Also, the biggest sin of this story is that it actually does end.
Also Also Also, someone thought it would be a good idea to make 2 sequels.
This seems like the book was a magical book - created specifically for him by this seemingly ordinary kindly old bookstore guy.
Sequels? What sequels? This is a beautiful standalone movie. No such thing as sequels. Ever. Not one, not two. NO sequels. Just one beautiful movie. Forever. Full stop.
Movie 2 was based on the second half of the book. Movie 3 was completely original I think.
first time I've heard moon child, maybe someone cleanup the audio for later version/format
as well as a 4-part Hallmark miniseries and a short-lived animated TV show.
I forgot this existed but recognised every scene, this was hilarious and heartwarmingly nostalgic. Thank you cinemasins
Jeremy seems to have overlooked the line "as the luckdragon flies". The point is that the Southern Oracle was not actually 10,000 miles away but more like 9,891, if you fly there in a straight line instead of travelling by land. Of course that raises a lot of questions about why Morla would give the land distance...
I loved this movie growing up too, and the theme song, just couldn't get it out of my head. Am glad Stranger Things allowed new audiences to experience it.
Spotify in 2016 did a sweet homage to the movie with the now-adult Noah Hathaway (he was 44 and still looks great!) (Because the song is still often downloaded daily all over the world.) The Making-of-the-commercial video is even better -- they had to spray skin tone all over his tats, and gave him a scraggly beard (the only minus in my book). One of the toughest projects I just finished was creating a 3D-printed Auryn that's actually a puzzle that snaps together.
5:30 I’m surprised you didn’t address the attendees to the Ivory Tower announcement about The Nothing that include Mickey Mouse, E.T., C-3PO, Ewoks, Gumby, Pokey, Godzilla, and Dumbo. Is this Fantasia or South Park’s Imaginationland?
There’s nothing wrong with The Never ending story. CinemaSins needs to do some push-ups
Well it ended for one thing so....
@@mymomsbasement69 😂
THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE SO HARD FOR ME. This has been my favorite movie since I was a toddler. I'm 36 now and this movie has always felt like a fantastical and bittersweet allegory for my life as an artist struggling through life with mental illness and hoping everything will somehow be okay, despite all the abuse and misery and bad times. My friends are the only thing ever giving me hope.
- Always loved the opening credits with the clouds. It's beautifully haunting and something unique.
- I am 100% cool with 7% of the movie being travel time. It adds examples of the varied landscapes of the world and weight of how far he's traveled. Always made sense to me. I feel like not enough fantasy films do this properly, especially high fantasy. LotR did it well though.
I fucking love that when Bastian did his "YEAHHHHHHHHHH" you just removed 5 sins without a word. lmao Even with all the nonsense happening, YOU KNOW IT'S STILL GOOD. 😏
I always found this movie full of terrifying, depressive, eerie and haunting things, and yet I never stopped watching it. It's always felt so different from everything else.
10:39
"...are you going to deny your dog heritage?"
ROFL
Born in 1982, probably didn't see this movie until, like, 1993. I love this movie. I can think about Artax and cry on command, no exaggeration. As always, great video.
I remember the scene with the plunge board high up above the huge pool, slowly turning into a waterfall gave me nightmares.
I never could understand what he called out for the new name, and the only time I would think about it, I didn't have my computer nearby to look it up, I assumed it was his mother's name and the horse dying...yes I teared up while watching this too...I always will.
I really enjoyed this one! Not only one of my favorite childhood movies but some of the best commentary ever. That bit with you talking to yourself in the mirror had me dying lmao!
Cue sorcerers apprentice music
Mind blown!!! Favorite childhood movie behind Labryinth. Have they sinned labryinth?? Had no idea the Childlike empress was talking about movie viewers. !!!
38 years later and I’m STILL NOT OVER THAT GODDAMNED HORSE’S DEATH!!!!
The two memories from my childhood of this movie are being completely terrified of the wolf (attic scenes and otherwise) and the knight who gets laser-fried by the Sphinxes looking something like Admiral Ackbar when his visor flips up and Atreyu gets a good look at him. I have not revisited this film to find out if that recollection is accurate.
I have not seen it since childhood, either, and I support your recollection as spot-on.
19:55 Yeah no, taking this long to finally take sins off is not going to make me forgive you.
The fact that he had to go beyond the boundaries of fantasia, which doesn’t actually have a boundary, is just ironic
How did this humorous and nostalgic journey through one of my fav movies as a child involve a reference to The Evil Dead?!? And why did it make me laugh the hardest out of all the sins? 😂
13:10 had me dying 🤣
It's also weird for a property in the '80's to have Mickey Mouse. Donald and Goofy in a scene with other fictional characters and The Childlike Emperess without Disney suing them into oblivion! The Disney lawyers must have been "distracted" (high,) back then. 😂🤣
This movie moved me when I was a kid... I cried, I laughed, I loved it and I still do
Extra like 👍 for the well-placed dragon-wink 10:44 😄
Edit:13:25 I can't drop any more likes... fmirltmirl lol
Growing up, my family had a Samoyed/Golden Retriever mix and she looked just like the Good Luck Dragon. She was always complimented for being a beautiful dog and for making people think of the Never Ending Story 🙂
Come on. You had the perfect opportunity when the giant turtle shows up to say “Aaah! Sudden Mitch McConnell cameo!”
Love this movie and book so much! And great video ;)
Just a small thing--Atreyu didn't sink in the swamps because of the necklace! It was protecting him. It's also why Falkor was drawn to him, because the Auryn was helping Atreyu in his quest.
The *ding* on Falcor's wink was some excellent timing there
Also, this movie is, like, 85% excruciatingly slow talking
8:38 I'd thought that was the walk of being exhausted more then sad as a kid
(3:44) That is not a limestone rock. Limestone is sedimentary and that is clearly a metamorphic rock. Also, it appears to be peppered with mica--which is making it twinkle.
(20:26) It does look like that car is trying to turn down the street--which is a one-way street going in the opposite direction. We know this because we can see the stop sign, there is no catty-corner stop sign, and the parked cars on both sides of the street are facing the proper one-way.
i absolutely BALLED my eyes out at the Artex scene every time
This is my all-time favorite movie and yet I found this interesting. Also, good on you for removing sins for Bastian riding Falcor. I mean...I'm scared of heights and I'd at least consider it if offered.
I loved this movie as a kid, watching it over and over so many times I'm surprised the VHS didn't get chewed up with the frequent use... though I somehow never noticed that bit where the Empress acknowledges US, the viewer until this video.
That somehow went completely over my head all these years.
The fuck?
First time I seen this channel, subscribed because the commentary was better than I first thought.
I always imagined the scene where the Princess shows him a small speck...'this is all that remains of Fantasia.'
Bastian... 'Aaaaachooo!'
18:52 I feel called out here.
My favorite childhood movie! And what do you mean the autumn didn’t protect Atreyu? He didn’t die in the swamps of sadness. He didn’t die at the two gates. He died when he wasn’t wearing the thing.
“Nitpicking just for the sake of it” Jeremy has become self aware finally 😂
Gary Gnu reference for the WIN!! Oh that Great Space Coaster was a blast!!
No Gnews, is good Gnews with Gary Gnu!!🤣😂🤣😂🤙🏻
Man, my only complaint about this video is that I totally anticipated Gmork's final confrontation/semi-monologue with Atreyu to he one of those 'automatic' sin removals, where a big chunk of them come off and they don't even really explain it, just because it's awesome, lol. That whole sequence still grabs me as an adult, and Gmork's speech rings disturbingly true. On a related note, when he mentions "people without hope" and the narrator ties it into cults, etc, saying they'd be the hardest to control...the strategy is to find people without hope, and then MAKE the cult's teachings/ideology/structure/etc their only hope, their only chance at redemption. So it still holds up!
I’m winning this channel for winning my favorite childhood movie.
Atreyu was one of my early-life crushes, alongside Sharkboy
The original book was written in German and the name of the luck dragon had the "L" added to his name in the translation. It makes the comments at 15:09 even more funny if you think about what his name would have sounded like if they hadn't changed it.
Wait, he named the Empress “Moon Child?! *MOON CHILD?!*
My 38 year old VHS just has storm and wind sounds drowning out his voice.
I spent almost 4 decades wondering what name he gave her....now I feel robbed.
Oh, jesus!! The "outakes" were hilarious!! One of the funniest vids by CinemaSins!
Everybody talks about Artax traumatizing them but what about Rockbiter looking at his hands saying "These look like such strong hands, don't they".
That dog scared the shit outta me when I was young
5:48 I never realized how much this dude looks like Pai Mei.
Love the book, it's one of my favourites. Way better than the movie...
But way better even: I got to ride Fuchur (Falkor) when I was 10 or 11. My mom said, she had never seen me move as fast, as when they asked who wanted to ride him 😁
