The Artax swamp scene from “The Neverending Story” (1984) still makes me sad to this day

Limahl's haircut still makes me sad.

Traumatizing a whole generation of children. Thanks for nothing, West Germany!

So did the horse survive?

No, R3, hence the trauma.

That movie was false advertising.

The horse dies r3

That scene was like my first experience with *depression*.....

The horse comes to life again at the end of the film but it’s pretty grim for a kid’s film. I always loved this film, I think it inspired me to write some fantasy novels. The sequels were not great though, to put it mildly.

The author of the book hated the film so much that he had his name removed from the credits.

He especially hated the bare breasted statue things.

I always wondered how they managed to sneak bare breasts into a kid’s film, not once but twice. There must have been a fair amount of immature sniggering in the film theatres among kids and embarrassment among parents.

Same R7 but unfortunately not my last

It didn’t depress me but did break my heart.
