The Neverending Story

A lot of old films have been on recently. Mainly on Channel 5 and ITV. It's so strange watching films you've watched as a child when your old enough to actually understand what is happening. I think it makes films a little more magical and I still haven't stopped wishing I could be the children in them!
A while ago I watched The Neverending story:

It's not never ending the way you'd think it would be. It's like if you were reading a book, the people in that book are real, just like you are, and your story is being read, as if you were a character in a book. So it's never ending that way. So this film does actually end ;).
So this boy, called Bastian, is being chased by bullies and hides in a book shop where he steals this book that this man told him we wasn't allowed to read. In the book the world of Fantasia is being consumed by a force called The Nothing, so the creatures of Fantasia try to find a hero. The hero turns out to be a boy, called Atreyu, who along with his horse, Artax, go to find a cure for the ill princess of Fantasia so she can stop The Nothing. He has a lot of trouble on his journey. His horse is swallowed by the swamps and the wisest being, Morla, directs him to the Southern Oracle, over 10,000 miles away! Just as he is also about to sink into the swamps he is saved by the luck dragon Falkor, who takes him right where he needs to be. He has to pass through gates, which are like trials, and they have destroyed warriors before him.
I don't really want to give away the whole story because it really should be watched. I've seen it repeated a lot on ITV2, I swear it was on twice in one day... So if you see it you should watch it. Its fun and the creatures are so strange and you know the oompa-loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the one with Johnny Depp)? He is in it! Now if that doesn't get you to watch it, I don't know what will.

This is Falkor. Isn't he the cutest? ^.^

P.s. I hope everyone had a good Easter yesterday :). I certainly enjoyed the sudden acceptance of eating so much chocolate in one go. And I absolutely love Cream Eggs.

I'd better go eat more chocolate do some awesome revision ;).
