Neverending story 1 was my favourite movie as a kid. But a lot came while growing up and in the process, I confess I completely missed parts 2 and 3. Now I discovered them by chance and was really curious.. OK, part 2 is not bad but failed to impress me as the first one. Part 3, for god sake what a disappointment. Why did they even bother? Why is Rockbiter so small? What happened to Atreyu? even the known characters as Falcor are completely changed (Lucky Dragon? More like "GRUMPY dragon" here) Also the book cover is green? What happened to the normal red cover? They TRIED to respect the original story, but they failed. Miserably. As a kid I imagined Fantasia as this wonderful imaginary world, full of dreams and illusion. Thanks to this movie, my image of Fantasia has been reduced to Rockbiter buying an electric guitar and joining a Rock band and also Childlike Empress using Aurin for her shopping sprees. Don't ask, just don't watch it. If you want to keep your childhood memories intact, stay at Neverending story 2. Story ends there anyways, this was completely unnecessary. Avoid.
