The available versions of the trailer had garbage quality. I shot matched from blu rays (newest imprint blu ray and german constantin blu ray) to recreate the trailer with high resolution.
I've noticed. I've been trying to post videos from Feral Historian, where he talks about the social/political/economic aspects of famous or popular sci-fi and fantasy series, and most of them get bupkis. This sub doesn't really like actually talking about stuff anymore outside the same 2 or 3 tired topics everyone repeats the same bitter and angry sentiments over.
The child acting is a bit rough particularly from the kid who plays Bastion, but it is pretty trippy, in terms of concepts it deals with without giving anything away and it has great practical effects that still look wild today. It's a fairly philisophical movie, and the book is even better with how philisophical it is. The second half of the book gets even trippier. Leave it to the Germans (Micahel Ende is German) to write a kids book and make it some existential head trip.
This is very true. When I recently indulged in The Neverending Story again a few years back it had a WHOLE different meaning than when I saw it back when it first came out. The existential crisis of adulthood paints a very different picture of what Ende was rightly trying to get across.

You did a fantastic job!
Much appreciated!
Not a one of us knows what to do with a sincere post, haha.
Haha, do you mean from me, or from anyone in general?
Both.

So why are you here?
I need to watch that movie sometime. I haven't seen it since I was a kid.
