Some of my fondest childhood memories are from watching this movie. It's magical and even somewhat philosophical(for a kid's movie). Characters like the Rockbiter and Falkor the Luck Dragon are unforgettable, same goes for many of the locations. Truly wonderful story brought to life almost flawlessly. Also the theme song is so freaking catchy..

The message behind this film and the original book have inspired so many people including Steven Spielberg who, so I've read, as a prop AURYN in his office, there to remind him to never stop dreaming because when you stop dreaming, you start dying.The effects, especially on the DVD, look amazing, better than most of the CGI crap we're force-fed nowadays.If you love the movie, go buy the book. It's a million times better, if you can believe it, and certainly better than the crap sequels and cartoons and stuff that have come since.

charming story. but not exactly an adaptation. only an isle. far from Ende continent, full of jewelery, wonderful, seductive, touching. trip in heart of magnificent world and chain of unforgettable myths. spirit of novel and very interesting cast. no errors, no fake parts. only subtle nostalgia and desire to read, again, the book. the great virtue - the measure. the beautiful thing - care for details. the most precious fact - respect for atmosphere. a brave work in special effects teenage time. and delicate manner to show an entire universe , memorable aspect of characters, an impressive Bastian and unique Atreyu. grace, force, courage.bricks for a fairy-tale as puzzle of tender images.
