What you probably didn't know about the Neverending Story:
The NeverEnding Story is a 1984 German-American epic fantasy film based on the novel of the same name written by Michael Ende. The film was directed and co-written by Wolfgang Petersen (his first English-language film).It was then followed by two sequels: The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter and The NeverEnding Story III: Escape From Fantasia.[2]
This film adaptation only covered the first half of the book. The majority of the movie was filmed in Germany, except for Barret Oliver's scenes, which were shot in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It was Germany's highest budgeted film of the time. The novel's author, Michael Ende, felt that this adaptation's content deviated so far from his book that he requested they either halt production or change the name; when they did neither, he sued them and subsequently lost the case.[
I have been to the Bavarian Movie Studios as a child and was able to go last year again.
If you ever have the chance to visit the Movie Studios in Bavaria, you need to sit on Falkor with the blue screen as background and see yourself on TV flying like Atreyu did. You can also purchase Falkor as a stuffed animal at the gift shop and as far as I know, you can't buy Falkor any where else. And who doesn't want to own a Luck Dragon? I got mine!
I also recommend reading the book and watch the movie since they are so different.
It's always fun to feel like a child again and enjoy the things we grew up with.
Thanks for stopping by,
have a great day,
Cheers!
