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.
