The performance of the child-like Empress is truly one of the best and most memorable pieces of acting I've ever seen from a child. Just one scene, yet it stole the show.
Agreed! She stood out to me even as a child. Remarkable actress.
same here. absolutely life-changing as a child. that scene was everything
Yep! I am absolutely shocked that she had no prior experience.
If you watch the extended version she’s a true actress it’s a bummer she didn’t pursue acting again
So true. I still remember her years later.
They all followed their dreams, now that is an eloquent and fitting never ending story after all... 🌟💓🙏🥰
Agreed. Noah Seems like Macauley Culkin in So Many Ways ...
@@frankbonini9128 not even close. Macaulay Culkin never wanted to act but was forced to by his father and quit when his father was out of his life. Hathaway just had other things he wanted to do
started watching it in 84 and still watching today
The theme song is on here! I listen to it daily !
Same ✌️
I'm 16 and this was my childhoold
@@misanthropic985 I love the score as well.
Thats why it’s called the never ending story. You can watch it forever.
It's wonderful to hear stories of child stars that had happy endings.
Seriously! So often, Hollywood devours its own young. Happy endings are precious!
Except according to Corey Feldman, Noah Hathaway he didn't have a happy childhood...
Omg, I had a big time crush on Atrieu when I was a little girl.
The child like Empress was so beautiful.
Yes, and I had a big time crush on the child-like Empress when I was a little boy!
She was in a dance musical in NYC. It was a small, off Broadway show. Somehow I found out about it, I don’t remember now. And I bought tickets to the show. I sat in the front row. It was a musical about the ocean. That’s pretty much all I remember. She danced in it and she had on a mermaid like costume. I was so happy to see her! I wish I would have thought to ask to go backstage to meet her but I just left after the show.
When I was a kid, like toddler age, I thought Atreyu was a girl - I have no idea why I thought that. But I always loved the name, so I named my son Atreyu who was later diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Fun fact, the name Atreyu can be translated as "son of all", and because we get help from medical professionals, family, and friends; he really lived up to his name. Also, when we watched NeverEnding Story with him when he was younger, his eyes lit up every time he heard his name. Priceless!
So did I. 😂😂😂😂 I came to see what he looks like now.
I’m screaming because this guy thinks chicks had crushes on Bastian. We liked Atreyu!!
Yes ma’am Atreyu was my crush bastian was in the way sometimes 😂😂😂
Atreyu had a more androgynous look which was very popular in the early and mid eighties.
Chicks? I was a boy and *I* had a crush on Atreyu! LOL. Noah Hathaway was truly one of the most beautiful children to ever grace a screen. Big brown eyes, great skin, perfect hair, and man, could he act. It's such a shame that he was hurt so much by having to do his own stunts!
Bastian was the sweet little nerdy wimplet. I felt like I had lots in common with him, but I really *wished* I could be more like Atreyu. Way braver, more confident, more selfless, and *tremendously* more athletic than poor Bastian.
Took me freaking forever, and I’m no longer young, but I’m finally more balanced, having earned *some* of what made Atreyu worthy of respect, without losing who I was.
@@yesthatbruceHe was the sort to tough it out and keep going tho. Part of what made him so awesome.
I met Noah Hathaway back in 2015 in Knoxville at Fanboy......he was a strait up cool dude. Got to talk to him for like 20 minutes. He loves the vets so got to really talk alot with him.
So cool you got to meet him and I had a little crush on him
Did he have a nice package?
@@PlanTonto da fa?
@@tennesseecopperhead7874 Creeps lurking around
❤️🌌🗺🌎🌍🌏 Mm glad ta hear it sounds like fun he seems like a total sweet❤️ fun energetic always in a good mood rasin a family
Yeah
Noah Hathaway was also in the old Battlstar Galactica from the late 1970's. He played the character of the little boy Boxy, Apollo's adopted son.
Thank goodness that I wasn't the only one who thought that Falkor was a dog at first. I saw The Neverending Story when I was around 8 and thought that Falkor was a funny looking dog. As I gradually became older and have more understanding about the movie, I realized that Falkor was a luck dragon with a puppy looking face😂
I saw it when I was a kid in the 80s I think I was about seven or eight I always thought it was a flying dog
His appearance is chinese-based, but the puppy face made him much more endearing.
Wow. The message of the movie seems to be about following your dreams. And that’s what all the actors, especially the main actor did. This somehow makes me love the movie even more!!
(Don't read if you don't want book spoilers!) In the book, Bastien really lives out his dreams, making many wishes. But he slowly loses his memories of his human-life as he makes wishes. Long story short, Atreyu helps Bastien return to the real world, where Bastien tells his father the whole story (including naming the Empress after his mother's nickname "Moonchild") which helps Bastien's father overcome his grief of losing his wife. So, not only is it about following your dreams, but about learning how to overcome losing loved ones, and consoling each other through that. Bittersweet, but yeah. My point is, many of the actors had to overcome many challenges after the movie, like all of us. It's that humanization of these people that make them easy for us to relate to more deeply.
I remember watching the never ending story when l was a kid it's such a amazing movie
Et and never ending...I cry in both.
I was a kid ok?!
I'm sorry.😒
I took Tami's guest teacher class and she was great. her dance/choreography were beautiful. her dance mostly are post - modern
I had such a crush for Atreyu ♥️😁
Falkor was the largest puppet in history. It's stored in a museum in Bavaria, Germany
I doubt that
As of March 2022, Percy the Porcupine, a two-story puppet created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop for the San Diego Children's Zoo, is considered by some to be the world's largest puppet:
Size: Percy weighs over a ton, has a 40-foot circumference, and is covered in 2,000 foam quills
Features: Percy has an articulated nose the size of a Volkswagen, orb-like eyes, and a maw that can be moved
Operation: Five performers operate Percy by pulling strings to move his features
Falkor likely was the largest, but there is always a bigger fish - er... puppet!
A beautiful way to let everyone see how the actors had more to their lives then just that movie. And are happy to be doing what they love. As you said "They are normal people. Like you and I" Something people forget about actors. Falcor was the one that surprised me the most. Since I grew up watching all those cartoon shows.
Correction: Limahl had adopted that stage name before joining Kajagoogoo (see the liner notes for the first album), and it's pronounced lih-MALL, with the emphasis on the second syllable.
"Limmell" lol
This was one of my absolute all time fav movies
So much so that I literally listen to the theme song daily, no exaggeration
It puts me in the best mind space and I feel like I’m living in a fantasy.
Thank you so much for this from the bottom of my heart! So incredibly well done! I’m choked up and so moved right now
Then I hope you read the book too (which is even better, and longer!)
I never knew who played these awesome characters in this fantastic movie but I love and cherish this movie since my childhood. This is one movie that I will never get tired of. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for giving us an update to the actors! This movie was a part of so many people's childhoods.
Noah Hathoway was the star of the movie Troll in his teens. He didn't quit acting for 20 years right after The Neverending Story.
I actually just went and watched this at my local theater today. With Hollywood not putting out new releases my local theater has been showing all the classics for the month they have been open
Ours has been doing that too. It's been nice actually
I love the classics, I prefer them so much more than anything new lately.
One of my favorite movies!!!My mother is the one who absolutely adored this movie and she turned me on to it.The Nothing!!Great, Where Are They Now!!!!Love you mom!
I think it's cool what Barret is doing now. Some of his artwork is in museums & has been featured in movies.
Barret Oliver was in the Knight Rider Pilot in case you didn't know. He was great in "Daryl" and the Cocoon movies. I'll have to keep my eye out for Tami Stronach in her future roles.
My first boyfriend was so amazing so sweet and kind. He lives in heaven and I'm sure he watches this as I watch all the of the songs that we dance to and our minds we never forget. I loved watching this movie with him brings tears and me being a teenager 16 and in love
Thank you for this wonderfull story.
Ok
You were on plenty of fish huh?
Bastian became a eccentric historical photography enthusiast with hipster beard and dreads Who is most likely lives a vegan lifestyle in forest somewhere spending his days in sweet solidarity and nature.
And I dig it,👍 the coolest career path ever!
He became a freak
One of my childhood favourite movies!!
Barret surprises me the most. Not his choices,but the fact that he has the ability to transform himself into someone completely unrecognizable from his childhood image. Would you recognize him if you haven’t seen this video ?
Nope! Just like you wouldn't recognize George Costanza 8" taller, a full head of hair and a beard.
No way !
not at all..his hair look awful now
Why would that surprise you? The dude obviously "transformed" himself on purpose because he doesn't want to be recognized by fans of The Neverending Story or any of the other films he was in. He wants to be left alone and doesn't want to be bothered.
My favorite movie from my childhood and i still watch it and i'm 49 years now and i still love it ♡♡
Xcellent video OSSA.
1 exception though, what I can remember right now, Limahl had another huge hit years ago called "Too Shy Shy"
Noah Hathaway was actually a dancer for Michael Jackson after the NVS film. He stars in his Pepsi commercial with Carlton Banks from Fresh Prince of Belaire if you look closely
4s Over3s: Noah Hathaway was, also, Boxey (the little boy), in Battlestar Galactica and in an episode of Family Ties as Jennifer's first boyfriend.
He was also in Cocoon.
Hathaway appeared in a famed Lazer Tag commercial in the mid 80s.
@@apryLwitha_why Wasn't it Barrett Oliver?
@@SpookyElectric319 You're right. My mistake. I was thinking of the main character in Never ending story.
Up till today when I listen the sound track of the neverending story (Falkor flight), I get emotional.. I really miss the simpler days of the 80s...
Wish I could go back!
We all do.... Am from 79
You know what's up! :)
When we were kids we had to wait until my aunt, that had cable, recorded it to a VHS tape. We watched it repeatedly until the sound wore out of it🤟❤😊
Lol, yeah we have to wait till it was on TV in the UK!!!
I've met Noah Hathaway. He is a nice guy. His doggies are sweet.
You forgot about D. A. R. Y. L
Oh yeah! I loved that movie ! Cute name and cute pic, you’re so pretty 😍
@@misanthropic985 😎
And cocoon. 1 & 2
'Barrot was every girl's first crush' No. I tolerated him so I could see Atreyu. Still do 😉
Every girl and some boys' crush as well! :)
@@PlanTonto Oh gross...lol : )
@@whatareyoulookingat908 Gross??? Really???
Haha I was team Atreyu too 😉
@@SpookyElectric319 Nope.
Bastian in the movie: Being different is ok.
Bastian in the book: I wanna look Asian.
Did he want to look Asian?? I know he wanted a turban and Indian styled clothing, but all I remember it saying about his face was that it was thin and handsome 🤔 the whole second half of the novel is about Bastian learning to love and accept itself
My 9 year old grandson loves these movies
The NeverEnding Story song was composed by Giorgio Moroder ( yes, this famous "grandfather of disco" ), Limahl only performed this song.
Awesome that you uploaded this video! Netflix has The Neverending Story original and part 2 so I recently saw it a again a few days ago. Forget Bastian as a childhood crush, I liked Atreyu as a kid! 💜
@@SpookyElectric319 yep! He definitely was!
I liked the video. It was interesting knowing a bit more about the actors. Barret Oliver was already familiar to me as a kid. He starred in 1982 with David Hasselhoff in the 90-minute pilot movie of Knight Rider. More intriguingly, that same year, Alan Oppenheimer also guest-starred in Knight Rider in an episode called Deadly Maneuvers. He returned during Season 3 playing a different character in an episode called Custom Made Killer. I didn't knew he was such an awesome actor and voice actor.
Wasn't Alan the original Rudy Wells in the Six Million Dollar Man?
This film meant SO much to me growing up in the 80s. I've just read that next year will be it's 40th anniversary 😮😮😮 A film that would have been 40 years old in 1984 would have come out in 1944 🤯
Anyway, like others have said, thank you for this positive and respectful video, I enjoyed it a lot ❤
Remake will begin soon
I’ve meet Noah last week he is so nice! The best person ever
Surprisingly all the kids in the Neverending Stories have the same faces even though they are old now.
Almost like they have the same face but older. Weird
“Moonchild!!!!”
This was such a nice well done video. Thank you.
mrock828, your support is truly appreciated! 🤗 Your kind words mean so much to us! 🙏
Im so happy they became such Self-Individuated folk instead of chasing fame they went off to start their own neverending stories. ✨✨💖✨💖✨💖✨✨
I love the theme song.started watching limahl performing it on youtube and this song is in my head every day.great music and lyrics
I was one of the biggest never-ending story fans. In high school jewelry class I made the Orin necklace pendent with brass and Nicole silver !! It took forever to cut the inner snake patterns !! This movie rocked my world at age 13 !! I hope you fans read the book. I still enjoy the soundtrack while driving !!
Atreyu was my first childhood crush! It was the long hair and vest for me 😍
noah has such a free lucky honest smile
Actually, Barret Oliver's "hobby" is pretty damn cool and I know a lot of Steampunk enthusiasts who follow his work.
My employer tore down a historic building some years ago, and a guy came in to take photos in that style. For all I know I could have been following Barret around while he took photos. I was intrigued by the process for sure.
@@Uriah625 probably...very few people are into that field.
Loved reading this. I introduced this film to my nearly 7 yr old daughter yesterday so this video was a great find!
Loved it all . Thanks so much.
Thank you. Great to see them all. Loved Tami, such a doll, then and now.
You never spoke about Bastian's dad or the Bookshop owner.
Or the bullys from scool!!!!
1984???? How time flys????
Bless all these people for enriching my childhood.
What a great video! Thank you for making this.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁😁
I love this movie I was 6 years old when this movie came out in 1984 I remember this wonderful movie when I was a kid.
Hey, you missed the most important character…The beat white horse, what happened to him? When his character died, it killed me. Even until this day I still get tears in my eyes. OMG! 😢
Barret Oliver for sure the more dramatic change!!!
I love Bastian, I imagined he was my baby brother..didnt know he was my age😅. Thank you to include Barret in this update ❤
I always thought the person that sung the theme song was a woman. Thanks for this awesome video! My cousin was the father in the Never Ending Story 2.
@GhostCat he won't talk to me anymore... difference of political opinion and he wasn't as inclusive as he said... oh well...
I always thought his father was Doctor Phil
Is there a part 2!?
@@b.anoniem9007 there's a part 2 and 3 but each film has different actors...
"TO THE WINCH, WENCH!" will forever be a thing.
Lovely update on our childhood's mot beloved films... thank you!
I saw the movie as a kid, and it shaped me for life. Then I heard that the book author Michael Ende hated it. Everyone who read the book told me the same. I never read the book, though - maybe an item to put onto the bucket list.
I read the book after seeing the movie. Loved them both. The book also includes what became Neverending Story 2 (not so loving that one; it was okay).
Great video!!
One of my favorite movies of ALL time 👌
I remember Noah Hathaway as Boxey on Battlestar Galactica.
I loved the turtle and named a pet turtle after it.
Shannonm75: Morla the Ancient One?
To this day, Atreyu is still my favorite name because this movie.
Limial wasn’t a one hit wonder , only in your country not the rest of the world , it must be Amercians taste in music
He was also on Battlestar Galactica
Loving the Joni Mitchell memorabilia behind you. ❤️
Thanks for the updates.
You're welcome, Gerald! 🤗✨🤗 We're glad you enjoyed our video. Is there anything specific about The Neverending Story you'd like to see more of on our channel? Let us know in the comments, and we'll see what we can do! 🙏
Tanx man for this vid. Im from Philippines. I really loved 80 s movies and musics. I was born on 1980. In my openion no 80 s is the best generation. Sorry guys that only my opinion.
OMG! I love that movie! When I saw the scene where those little boys were crying when Artax (the horse), died in the Swamp of Sadness, I wanted to reach out to the screen to comfort both of them in my arms. That scene still choaks me up.
That scene marked childhood of kids in the 80’s
@@morrisreno '80s*
I think you mean "chokes." 😛
Atreyu was my childhood crush.❤ I love this movie until this day...
This movie meant so much to me as a kid that I had to do a cover of the song. Still love the movie
Excellent!
This was delightful to watch! I met Noah in passing at a comic con. He was very energetic and kind. I also worked in a few productions with a person who was an extra on this movie. What was that background music?
Dark 🖤🖤 Wolf Gmork was My child favorite Evil Wolf villain
Very nice. :)
And if I ever wanted a tattoo, that would definitely be a fun pick!
All of them were huge crushes of mine as a kid
just done stranger things s3 and brought me here bring back memories when i was a kid watching this never ending story.
What happened to Falcor? Hope he wasn't put down and a nice family took him in.
You can visit him at the Bavaria studios near Munich. They give tours and on those tours they invite kids to sit on Falcor in front of a green-screen, so that they can watch themselves soaring over Fantasia.
And yeah, I was there and yeah, I've done that. But it was a bit disappointing for me as a kid, because it drove the point home that all of that was just fake.
He was an adorable creature indeed, he was bisexual and very promiscuous, besides he didn’t like too much to use condoms. Falcor died of AIDS in 1989 :-(
@@magalymayimbumelcocha1004 Not true or else how could he appaer in both sequels in 1990 and 1993?
Dude... this hits. 🎉❤
love them all!
I wish I knew what I want to do with my life like these people.
Some really talented actors I really like this movie rewatch it every chance I get
For how popular this movie was, it's surprising that it's not aired.
thank you for all these information. Fun fact: you can see the original Falcor in Munich, where it was filmed, and you can ride it :)))
Falkor*
The first sequel of the movie was the best from soundtrack, casts to visual effects. Love it!
dude, i love them all ! 😊😊😊😊
Great vid
It's still a vivid memory of my parents taking my sister and me to rent this movie when I was four years old. It's my favorite movie ever
I will ALWAYS love this movie!!!!!!
Their story will never end as long as someone remembers them
Very freaking awesome
Nice work up.
