Did you see this film when you were a child?
Watch and React to the Pagemaster.
Recommend "Flight of the navigator" 👍
you two seen the dark crystal yet?
The swamps of sadness scene left an entire generation of kids with PTSD
This movie and The Land Before Time WRECKED US ALL!
Yep. No doubt. I cried A LOT as a little kid after that scene.
Those had nothing on Dark Crystal, Beetlejuice, and Robocop.
Yea that Scard me as a kid
I grew up watching Halloween and NOES movies at the same time as this. This scene shocked and caused more damage than anything in any of those.
That gross egg and orange juice drink the dad makes at the beginning is actually a hangover cure. It’s a subtle detail that reveals, despite all his talk of getting your head out of the clouds, he’s not coping well either.
'They look like good, strong hands - don't they?' 😢😢 30 years later and that still gets me.
That one gets me too, really hard the way it's said... still gets me 😢
The death of Artax, was so heartbreaking for us kids in the 80's and 90's. I loved this movie so much.
still not over decades later
just another 80's kids movie. This would be rated R for todays youth lol
He came back once the kingdom was saved
Me too
33:50 I love when people realize she's talking about everyone watching the movie. Might really blow your mind to realize that you, as reactors on YT, are another layer in the Neverending Story, as we are watching you.
Yeah, in this context by "Neverending" they meant infinite layers not infinite length. The story will go on, experienced over and over again.
Yes, that is Deep Roy, who played an Oompa Loompa in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He's been around a long time and has been part of some amazing projects.
That was a very good catch by her!!!!
He was also the evil villain Mr. Sin from "Doctor Who" in the episode "The Talons of Weng-Chiang".
“an” Oompa-Loompa 😂
He played the entire species
Deep Roy played all of the Oompa Loompas in that movie, except for the bunch of miniature animatronics that were used in the wide shots and some CG ones. All the close up stuff was Deep Roy acting it out multiple times for each position and they used green screen to be able to make the different shots overlap eachother.
0:31 "How do we know when it's finished??" It isn't finished. We're watching you, watching Bastion, reading about Atreyu. We are all part of the Neverending Story now. Edit: AND YOU GET A LIKE FOR THE PAGEMASTER REFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"They look like good, strong hands, don't they?
I always thought that's what they were"
So sad
This is one of those quotes that will always trigger my eyes to mist up, even all these decades later.
This was a joy to edit!! 💕 i loved their reactions to one of my childhood faves 🥰
I loved seeing their reaction to the notion that Bastion was with Atrayu throughout the entire story, just as others were with him as he ran from the bullies and took refuge in the book store. Because I think that it sort of clicked with them that there were others watching them, as they watched the movie, as Bastion read the story of Atrayu's adventures, adding to The Never Ending Story.
You're exactly right. I saw this as a very young boy and it has completely stuck with me my whole life. Im 43, and any time I come across this movie, everything stops, and I have to watch it and it always gets me in the feels. I... hope I didn't say that out loud just now.
I was a kid when this came out, and I'm pretty sure that I saw it in theatres when it was first released.
It was also very popular when it came out on home video. There was a time during the 1980's when you couldn't go to a child's birthday party without the parents putting this movie on for the kids to watch. It was also popular with elementary school teachers, to show their classes as a special treat on the last day before a holiday or something.
Kids who went an entire week without getting their name on the blackboard (disciplinary for talking out of turn or misbehaving) got to watch movies on Friday after school. Saw this in 3rd grade.
"The Neverending Story" by Limahl is a song that just automatically triggers my nostalgia something fierce. I know it's been in Stranger Things, which I've somehow never seen _yet,_ and I love how it not only fades _out_ at the end but also fades _in_ at the beginning. Meaning it doesn't have an end, at _either_ end... Also, I'm fairly certain that by the typical definition, Limahl is a double one hit wonder in the US -- "Too Shy" by his original band Kajagoogoo was definitely a hit, then they kicked him out and he did this for the movie.
Crazy! I never knew that but now I can hear his voice in both songs
Noah Hathaway, who plays Atreyu, in fact, did not have much fun filming this movie as he was severely injured a few times during the process. Early in filming, he was thrown off the horse and fractured a couple of vertebrae. He had to be hospitalized for two months and suffers from backpain to this day. During his fight scene with Gmork, the wolf creature, one of the animatronic animal's claws gouged him in the eye, nearly blinding him. He stated, "It was the weirdest experience of my life."
He said later in interviews that [director Wolfgang] “Peterson tried a different way to kill me every single week.”
The German WWII Movie „Das Boot“ is directed by Wolfgang Petersen. And a Oscar Winning Movie.
Das Boot is a good movie to watch and would recommend watching it in German to add to the immersion, but still good if you watched it dubbed.
12:52 "Tell him a joke, tell him a joke" OMG that got me 💀 😂 😂 😂
Great reaction to a true classic. A deeper meaning a lot of people miss is that Fantasia is the world of human imagination so it has no boundaries. All of the creatures and places are from someone's imagination. The "nothing" is when humans start to lose that childhood hope and dreams. They quit imagining fantastical stories because they have to "grow up" and "face reality". The true message of the story is always keep imagining and dreaming you can find a world of beauty in a single petal of a flower. The song is one of my favorites too. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 5 years old. It's so great. It's one of those movies that grows with you. Every time you return to it at a different stage in your life, it gives you something different.
the horse death traumatized so many children, so so so many
Yep...First time I cried was to that...
Artex dying in the Swamp of Sadness and the Judge killing the shoe in the dip
Including me. I can’t do it because I know it’s coming.
And to think the horse was trained to do that. No CGI there. 😳
I hid in the kitchen whenever that scene was on
The Neverending Story is an allegory for Bastian's grief.
Artax giving in to his sadness and sinking into the swamp.
The Spinx's punishing the knight for not recognizing his own worth.
Urgl telling Atreyu “It has to hurt if it’s to heal.”
It's all about Bastian going through the loss of his mom.
The movie is only half the book. The rest of the book is Bastians wishes and how they influence him. It's a very good book. It can be read like a basic fantasy story but it has a lot of layers about our life and existence that can be analysed upon. I recommend you give it a try. But that's another story...
Every story Bastian finishes spawns three others-and he can’t go back home until he finishes them all. Which is impossible because he can’t stop spawning side quests. This is why the story is Neverending.
So SPOILER ALERT Atreyu volunteers to stay behind and finish them all for Bastian so he can go home.
12:22 No it's not quicksand. It's the power of the swamp - sadness.
This was one of the go to movies when my cousins came for a sleepover - "The neverending story", "The last unicorn" and, to make the list totally nonsensical, "Poltergeist" :D
Been born in 1984, this movie will always bring back great memories of a happy childhood :)
SUCH a good movie! I was too young to see it in theaters but I saw it when they aired it on TV. Soooo many life lessons about grief, sadness, self confidence, the importance of imagination... "It has to hurt if it is to heal" is a lesson we all should remember in our adulthood. Loved it and the reactions 😍
The Swamps of Sadness scene is probably the best depiction of depression and someone's desperate struggle to save someone from it.
"This is gonna be all magical and happy..." 😂
"this is gonna be all magical and happy" oh boy...
Magical and happy? Yeah. All? Definitely not! 😄
Love how Toy is Geeking out and Abby is WTF
Yeah Toy is the hottest coolest chick on the planet facts!!!!
This is an EXTREMELY philosophical movie…. Enjoy
Happy 40th anniversary to this movie! 1984
I was born in 1989, so as a kid my older brother grew up when this was released therefore it was standard play in my household, It's a legendary film.
Since you mentioned The Dark Crystal at the end, I didn't watch it until I was 18 or 19 spending the night over a girls house who whipped it out and was like "We are watching the dark crystal" and I was like "Okay".
Fantasia has no borders every story ever told takes place in the never ending story
Nice Poetic ❤😊
I was born in 1981, and this was a staple of my childhood!! I was so excited when I was able to share it with my kids.
12:25 The scene of Artax dying hits harder for me due to remembering how a girl named Jenny in my 1st grade class in 86 or 87 reacted. She grew up on a farm with a lot of horses and had a major soft spot for them. (Damn I'm already choking up) Anyway, her reaction was heartbreaking, she slid down into her chair and fell over to the floor, sobbing very hard and unresponsive/inconsolable. The teacher had to briefly stop the movie, and she was so devatated that her parents came to pick her up. -- I'm currently 43 and the memory of that cuts deeper, the older I got the more I could understand and empathize with her heart being crushed by the scene. -- She eventually learned the horse didn't actually die in real life and the fictional horse character was revived, and all that. But even other classmates had recently said that Jenny's reaction haunts them when this scene plays.
(shaking my head) Well I gotta hand it to the filmakers and Noah Hathaway, speaking at least for myself, its a powerful scene that hits every time.
This movie is a metaphor for depression and escaping from it. Whoever lets the sadness overtake him will sink into the swamp.
The very hard fact about the death of Artax in the book: there the horse could talk with Atreju and told him he wants to die because of the sadness in his heart and that Atreju is protected by the Auryn but not allowed to share this power with him, his horse.
So Ateeju knows he could had saved Artax but had to watch him dying (ok, the horse begs him to turn around in his last moments so he had not to see him in his final moments)
I was obsessed with this movie as a little kid.
Lionel Hutz, lawyer on the Simpsons said he sued this film for false-advertising - as the film does end...
To explain the opening scene with the orange juice and egg. that was an old hangover cure. Basically the scene is telling us that after the mom died, dad crawled into the bottle. The whole set up is Bastian feeling alone.
Huh? Orange juice, milk, egg and crushed ice is the ingredients to an Orange Julius. I don't think that drink shop still exists anymore, but we used to make them at home, too.
@@jean-paulaudette9246it still exists, but now just makes milkshakes.
Thousands of people watched you watch Bastian as he watched Atreyu
I saw this when it was new in the theaters. I loved it. For a lot of the kids of my age at the time, the death of Artex the horse was so traumatic and for many it was our first experience with loss.
I loved and was scared (and scarred by the horse scene) when this movie came out; but it was years before I knew what he yelled for his mom's name. I watched it a ton of times and could never make out what he was saying until someone else told me what it was. : p
It’s not as important to know WHAT he yelled into the storm as THAT he yelled into the storm. That way you could map whatever name you liked onto it.
The line that always got me was Rockbiter's: They look like such strong hands.
😿
So many emotions watching this movie as a young man and now actually. Love watching people react to movies I grew up with.
Thanks so much for watching with us!
"And they were with them as they watched the movie. They were with them as they reacted to the story...."
This movie traumatised my entire generation 😂 Another movie that traumatised my generation was Watership Down. It's an animated movie about rabbits. Add it to the list 👍
If you're old enough to have ever had an Orange Julius - you've had oranf juice and eggs.
HI ladies. Great reaction. I saw this movie when it came out, I was 10 years old when it was released. I'm not surprised that you recognize the theme song, they used to play it on the radio many years ago. I hope that more reactors watch this old jem, it's fun to see the next generation see these good old films. Take care
Great reaction ladies, to one of the most meta movies ever made. 😀
I saw it first on videotape once it hit the video stores, probably in my junior year of high school, 1985. I loved the interconnected stories, and as an equestrian the death of Artax in the Swamps of Sadness (a place I knew all too well in the real world) destroyed me for a little while, so you weren't alone in that reaction, Toy.
Falcor was my favorite creature in the movie, as he was almost everyone's. The animatronics were so freaking well done! A friend of mine who is a few years younger than me had made her own Falcor pillow as a teen, designing and sewing it herself. She was an amazing craftswoman even at 14, and it really looked like it was movie merch. She was just frustrated that she couldn't find a way to give it eyelids that could be opened and closed repeatedly, so she had him winking. 😀 She also lived on a farm and owned a horse. Want to guess what the horse was named? Yup, it was Artax. 😀
So while this movie wasn't a huge deal in the theaters, it took on quite the life of its own once it made it to video. My crafty friend and I would hang out and watch a lot of fantasy movies during the summers when we were in high school. This one from 1984, Ladyhawke and Legend from 1985, and then Labyrinth from 1986. 😀 All are well worth a watch!
Thank you so much for sharing this piece of your past. ❤️
That is the Oompa Loompa guy. His name is Deep Roy.
a technique in movies (especially older ones) named ADR is the act of replacing audio with studio-recorded audio (usually recorded after filming) So that's why the audio sounds dubbed at times. Cause it is!
Just as you two wonderful ladies are part of all our Neverending Stories.
my head cannon is the phone call at the beginning says, "The boy is taking the book."
The actress that plays the Empress is Tammi Stronach. This was her ONLY movie until this year. 40 years later. She has a new movie coming out next month called “Man and Witch: The dance of 1000 steps”
i was a kid when I watched it, and it was one of the most magical movies I ever watched. RIP Artax the horse.
RIP Artax!
I remember this movie wasn't that popular when it first came out in theaters in the U.S. (although it was big in Europe and Japan), but it has gained a very strong following and status as a childhood favorite for many since then.
Great Reaction!
I'd like to recommend the book that this movie is based on, The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. It's an amazing read, and way, WAY deeper than what they managed with this movie. The movie also only adapts the first half of the book, and the second covers Bastians adventures within Fantasia itself. I love the book, and recommend it to everyone, especially adults due to the deeper themes of the story that kids doesn't nessecerily pick up on.
Saw this as a kid and spent years afterwards looking for the book. I did eventually find it at the library and actually have a copy of my own now. Definitely in my Top Ten All Time Favorite Movies.
"It's Stranger Things adjacent!"
One Minute later:
"Where have I heard that song before???" 😁
Noah Hathaway who plays young Atreyu was also known for playing Apollo's adopted son Boxey on the original Battlestar Galactica (1978) 😮
"I've gotta keep my feet on the ground!"
I remember watching this in the front row of the movie theatre when I was 7.
I'm so happy you two watched this for the first time. Toy, you were correct about that actor playing the Oompa Loompa from Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. So good eye and good eyes. Abby, it's funny you mentioned Stranger Things in the beginning because I'll bet that's where you heard the song from in season 3 when Dustin and Suzy are singing it together through the walkie talkies. Great review and reactions. Keep up the videos, long time lover of the channel.
Moon child was the name. Mom was a hippie. 😊
Incase y'all couldn't hear(most can't) he called her Moon Child.(mama was a hippie growing up)
Yes, The Dark Crystal! First saw it as a child and it will forever live in my ♥️
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid. I had a 📼 with Alice in Wonderland, this movie, Labyrinth, and Legend. I played it till it broke, taped it back together and played it more. It finally got lost in a fire. I made sure to show all of those movies to my siblings.
The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen. You will be amazed.
It follows a similar theme about not losing hope and imagination.
Great reaction fun to watch 👍I was younger than the Atreyu actor when I first saw this by myself at night in the dark home alone it was an adventure. I wanted to be just like Atreyu
Ladies, I am glad you had the chance to check this one out! My childhood was full of NES references. NES was not just Nintendo Entertainment System, but of course the Never Ending story. Check out Legend if you'd like another fantasy film from the same period! Your reactions to Artax and Falcor were beautiful and I was happy to laugh and cry alongside you 2 during this nostalgic journey! A couple of things I wanna tell ya in case you didn't know. 1) Atreyu's name was used for a band name and the age group of fans were largely unaware of the name origin. 2) The name Bastian shouts was his mother's name, but the storm is so loud during that moment it's hard to tell what it is. The name is Moonchild. So yeah, I need a luck dragon or racing snail too! Lol
I remember watching this movie as a kid 😃 one of my favorites another great reaction with Toy & Abby 🙌🏽💙 and adorable Boo 🐈
Noah Hathaway (Atreyu) became a tattoo artist, and has said that the tattoo he's been asked for the most is the Orin (sp?). I can't remember the actor's name, but Bastian was also in Cocoon 1&2 (as well as others). And, I would definitely recommend watching the movies you asked about (or your editor did), although I can't remember what those titles were, right now. 🙄
Page master is a classic. It's one defiantly worth watching.
If you slow the playback down, you can actually see the moment Toy's soul is ripped from her body when Artax dies.
Abby's face full of wonder. ...and love shades 😎
This movie and back to the future were recorded on the same VHS tape at a family members house recorded from HBO and I watched them every time I went to there house some of my favorite memories and favorite movies.
❤️ Thanks for sharing this memory. We're glad our video reminded you of happy times.
Y'all all dress cute, but outside of Phillies, and Eagles gear. Abby now has the coolest shirt I've seen on this channel.. very nice. I seen this in theaters when I was little. Fun flick that I haven't seen in decades. Thanx for the reminder. Very well done ladies, and cool producer guy
thank you!!!!
Uh oh the 80s nostalgia vibes ⬆️⬆️
this is a classic 80s kids film up there with flight of the navigator and goonies. i say kids film we're all here watching it still 🤣🤣
We recently recorded a reaction to Flight of the Navigator. It'll be on our Patreon soon. So much fun and so cute.
When my sister and I were kids, she was obsessed with this movie, and because of that, I hated it. But now, as an adult who struggles with severe depression and struggled with nihilism and apathy, it hits different.
But I can't help but think, if Sebastian could wish for anything, and he was so deeply affected by his mother's absence, that it was odd his first wish wasn't to bring her back.
It would have been too painful, because eventually he had to leave Fantasia. The luckdragon buzzing the bullies didn’t happen in the real world, only in Fantasia. If he’d manifested his mother, he’d have never left, and his dead body would eventually be found in the school attic after a few weeks when it began to rot. They didn’t want a downer ending at the moment of triumph.
Even without the Real Life Ensues ending, a bittersweet scene with his mother would not have caused him to live happily ever after, and that is the proper ending to a child’s fairytale.
If you think my first paragraph was hideously inappropriate, let me remind you that this is a German fairytale.
Thank you for such a great reaction to one of my all time favorite kids movies this movie is pure nostalgia. ❤❤❤
Wolfgang Peterson also Directed TROY The Perfect Storm
He also directed Air-force One with Harrison Ford
Other movies that Wolfgang Petersen directed were “Air-force One” with Harrison Ford and “Troy” with Brad Pitt
I saw it in theaters when I was a kid.
The NeverEnding Story is a beloved classic treasured by so many people. Those who grew up in the 80s and 90s have fond memories of this film from their childhood. It has so much imagination, beauty, and emotional depth.
This film is based on the German novel of the same name written by Michael Ende in 1979. It was shot primarily in Munich, Germany, making it the most expensive film produced outside the United States or the Soviet Union at the time. Even though Ende worked as a consultant on the film, he was unhappy how it turned out, claiming that it he script was rewritten without his permission and that it deviated too far from the source material.
The NeverEnding Story is an adaptation of the first half of Ende’s novel, while elements of the second half are covered in the sequel, The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter. The sequel was a critical and financial disappointment as it didn’t capture the same magic of the original film. They intended to make a sequel immediately following the NeverEnding Story, but these plans were delayed after Ende sued the producers and insisted he have a say in any future film based on his work. By the time these legal issues were resolved, the original three child actors had to be recast.
Tami Stronach (The Childlike Empress) actually lost her two front teeth before filming, so she was fitting with fake teeth and had to be trained how to speak without any lisps. As Noah Hathaway (Atreyu), he also almost lost an eye during the scene confronting the wolf beast Gmork. One of the beast’s mechanical claws struck him in the face near his eye. The beast was also so heavy that when it lay on top of him, Hathaway lost his breath.
The NeverEnding Story was directed by Wolfgang Peterson, who also directed Das Boot (1981), Enemy Mine (1985), In the Line of Fire (1993), Air Force One (1997), The Perfect Storm (2000), and Troy (2004). I know you ladies love action movies, so I would definitely recommend Air Force One. Das Boot is also an iconic film set aboard a German submarine during World War II. I think you should definitely see that one too. I would also recommend Legend (1985), The Goonies (1985), Willow (1988), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), The Sandlot (1993), WALL-E (2008), and Up (2009).
🫶🏻
Fun fact: the street scenes were filmed in Vancouver
I love The NeverEnding Story. I use to put this film on after watching Electric Dreams (1984). I enjoy the soundtrack from both films too. Watching you both react to this film put a smile on my face.
I saw this when it came out. It always makes me cry, and no one who cries at this movie is crying for no reason, they are crying because it is such an amazing story, an amazing movie... you should read the book.
Thanks so much for watching with us!
The Techno/Industrial club I used to go to would end with an unusual, but community specific, song and many a night ended with "Neverending Story." To add a frame of reference, David Bowie's "Magic Dance" from "Labyrinth", Theme from "The Muppet Show", Gene Wilder singing "Pure Imagination" from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" were also a number of songs we would end the night with.
The Indian guy in this movie is the SAME ACTOR who plays the Oompa Loompa. His name is Deep Roy.
If you two are interested in watching The Dark Crystal movie (if you haven't already), I also higly recommend the Netflix series produced by Jim Henson's daughter, The Dark Crystal : Age of Resistance. It's very well done and highly underrated in my opinion. It only has one season, but it really deserves more spotlight than Netflix allowed for it.
Fun fact: For the English version of the book the luck dragon's name was changed to Falcor. His name in the German original is Fuchur - you may guess why it was changed.
By the way, why don't you give the book a try?
Fuchur, wir suchen dich. 😹 Deutsch ist eine wunderbare Sprache.
I was a teen when it came out, and I know it's a kid's movie, but I love it!!! ❤ The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth are great and all, but have you ever seen "Legend?" (1985) It's the best movie ever! 😈🦄
My all time fav book and movie.
City scenes are filmed in Vancouver BC, my hometown. I miss that place.
Lol 10:34 when you laughed at the horse calling it kinda lame as all the other creatures had been magical or fantastical ...up to that point and I thought " you ain't never gonna forget that horse in a few minutes time ! Lol scars
Great reaction Ladies I ain’t seen this in ages 👏👏👏
We also recorded Abby's reaction to Flight of the Navigator a little while before this. It's going to be coming up soon, as well. 😸
Yes, I have seen The Pagemaster and I loved it!
A friend of mine named her son Atreyu after the character in this movie.
The thing around Atreyu's neck is called the Auryn, and his horse is named Artax.
When I was a kid I thought The Nothing was people moving away from reading and not using their imagination anymore, which destroyed the land of myth and fantasy (Fantasia).
As an adult I realised this movie is about grief and depression. Once Bastian experiences and works through the fazes of grief, and comes to terms with his mother's loss, he gifts the Empress her name (Moonchild). Then he brings back joy and happiness and lives his life to tge fullest.
