#@: The Neverending Story Blu ray

Thanks to the producers of this bluray disc......the Neverending Story had been all but forgotten. It was made back in the 80's and was well before CGI was with us.

We saw it whilst in Europe on one of the satellite providers...then in 4:3 format and with 2 channel stereo...we taped it tback then....the VHS is still around...why bother when this classic children's tale has been released in full wide screen and five channel sound.

Made in Germany the Neverending story is a tribute to the excellent work of Bavaria Film Studios.

If you see this film for the first time it is hard to believe there were no computers creating the special effects. "All done on film"

There's a Never Ending Story two...so far not on Blu Ray......we'll be looking out for this if it too goes into an HD release.

$ The Neverending Story Blu ray

THE NEVER ENDING STORY is one of the most incredible fantasy adventures ever made. The unique character designs and magnificent environments spring to life the astonishing and believable world of Fantasia. An array of special effects from the life-like puppets, to green-screening and miniatures, to the gorgeous matte paintings meld to create the epic look and feel of the picture. Although it is based in child fantasy, the film has many dark tones, twisted characters, and a haunting score, which often makes it a frightening experience for younger viewers. A series of meaningful and memorable characters are introduced to the audience, personifying the values of courage (in the brave young warrior Atreyu), wisdom (retained by the apathetic Morla), and valor (as seen in The Rockbiter and others), in addition to the many pathogens attempting to destroy the whimsical world. On top of the High Fantasy elements the film possesses, it also serves as a bold commentary on the death of imagination at the hands of controlling parents and the growing popularity of the visual mediums. Another important theme touches on the loneliness and marginalization of latch-key children that are left to fend for themselves thanks to ambivalent parents. The story consistently breaks the fourth wall, and forces the young Bastian and the viewer to enter the world of Fantasia and participate in the events unfolding on screen right beside Atreyu and his companions. Wolfgang Peterson has truly created one of the finest Fantasy pictures of all time, worthy of a place setting besides other grand epics such as LEGEND, WILLOW, and THE WIZARD OF OZ.
