    The second half of the book is sorta hinted at. Bastion gets god-like unlimited wishing power and the very first thing he does is get revenge. He could have wished that his bullies had more empathy for kids weaker than them, but he instead uses a terrifying screaming dragon to exact vengeance. The audience just ignores that because of the triumphant music score, and the awesomeness of Falcor. But if a dark, sinister theme played during that last scene.....

      Lacking story don't think so. The whole journey leads to Bastian becoming the creator of his own story and destiny. Without every single step he would not have been able to arc.
      Not convinced yet? Bastian is very inactive in the beginning and more active when he realizes that his actions have influence on a world he cares of. He noticrs that he can also have an influence on his own world. :)

    From all the amazing books that had been butchered on film I think this is the worst case. The Neverending Story is one of the best books ever written, yes, is dark, is philosophical, is complex, breaks the fourth wall in a wonderful way and it's not for everybody. The only way to adapt it properly could be a miniseries for Amazon prime or something like that. Amazing book ❤️ actually I think i'm gonna read it again 😆

    Between this movie and in ‘86 when they killed Optimus Prime, it’s amazing I didn’t turn out to be a more morbid, depressed adult.

      It shouldn't be surprising that the 90s gave us Grunge music and solidified the Goth style.

      Both Artax and Optimus were ressurected so it wasn't all that sad.

    I grew up watching this movie, I love it and probably watched it a million times. I remember being heart crushed when he horse died, such a heartbreaking scene.
