The NeverEnding Story: Where Are They Now? |⭐ OSSA

[@chadgeri]

The performance of the child-like Empress is truly one of the best and most memorable pieces of acting I've ever seen from a child. Just one scene, yet it stole the show.

[@petalblossom96]

Agreed! She stood out to me even as a child. Remarkable actress.

[@nagual2335]

same here. absolutely life-changing as a child. that scene was everything

Omg, I had a big time crush on Atrieu when I was a little girl. The child like Empress was so beautiful.

[@chadgeri]

Yes, and I had a big time crush on the child-like Empress when I was a little boy!

[@VeganGroceryLife]

She was in a dance musical in NYC. It was a small, off Broadway show. Somehow I found out about it, I don’t remember now. And I bought tickets to the show. I sat in the front row. It was a musical about the ocean. That’s pretty much all I remember. She danced in it and she had on a mermaid like costume. I was so happy to see her! I wish I would have thought to ask to go backstage to meet her but I just left after the show.

[@karatachi69]

When I was a kid, like toddler age, I thought Atreyu was a girl - I have no idea why I thought that. But I always loved the name, so I named my son Atreyu who was later diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Fun fact, the name Atreyu can be translated as "son of all", and because we get help from medical professionals, family, and friends; he really lived up to his name. Also, when we watched NeverEnding Story with him when he was younger, his eyes lit up every time he heard his name. Priceless!

[@DusktilDawn-xq8rl]

So did I. 😂😂😂😂 I came to see what he looks like now.

[@qwerty99337]

Noah Hathaway was also in the old Battlstar Galactica from the late 1970's. He played the character of the little boy Boxy, Apollo's adopted son.

[@tennesseecopperhead7874]

[@Jayden-LeeJackson]

Wow. The message of the movie seems to be about following your dreams. And that’s what all the actors, especially the main actor did. This somehow makes me love the movie even more!!

[@karatachi69]

(Don't read if you don't want book spoilers!) In the book, Bastien really lives out his dreams, making many wishes. But he slowly loses his memories of his human-life as he makes wishes. Long story short, Atreyu helps Bastien return to the real world, where Bastien tells his father the whole story (including naming the Empress after his mother's nickname "Moonchild") which helps Bastien's father overcome his grief of losing his wife. So, not only is it about following your dreams, but about learning how to overcome losing loved ones, and consoling each other through that. Bittersweet, but yeah. My point is, many of the actors had to overcome many challenges after the movie, like all of us. It's that humanization of these people that make them easy for us to relate to more deeply.

[@okitheone7442]

I’m screaming because this guy thinks chicks had crushes on Bastian. We liked Atreyu!!

[@bbgbrownbarbzbiesgang]

Yes ma’am Atreyu was my crush bastian was in the way sometimes 😂😂😂

[@better-dayz-r-ahead]

Atreyu had a more androgynous look which was very popular in the early and mid eighties.

[@WillFredward7167]

Bastian was the sweet little nerdy wimplet. I felt like I had lots in common with him, but I really *wished* I could be more like Atreyu. Way braver, more confident, more selfless, and *tremendously* more athletic than poor Bastian. Took me freaking forever, and I’m no longer young, but I’m finally more balanced, having earned *some* of what made Atreyu worthy of respect, without losing who I was.

[@WillFredward7167]

@@yesthatbruceHe was the sort to tough it out and keep going tho. Part of what made him so awesome.

A beautiful way to let everyone see how the actors had more to their lives then just that movie. And are happy to be doing what they love. As you said "They are normal people. Like you and I" Something people forget about actors. Falcor was the one that surprised me the most. Since I grew up watching all those cartoon shows.

[@Theaterg15]

I took Tami's guest teacher class and she was great. her dance/choreography were beautiful. her dance mostly are post - modern

[@spiderfingers86]

Falkor was the largest puppet in history. It's stored in a museum in Bavaria, Germany

[@christopherporter2459]

I doubt that

[@karatachi69]

As of March 2022, Percy the Porcupine, a two-story puppet created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop for the San Diego Children's Zoo, is considered by some to be the world's largest puppet: Size: Percy weighs over a ton, has a 40-foot circumference, and is covered in 2,000 foam quills Features: Percy has an articulated nose the size of a Volkswagen, orb-like eyes, and a maw that can be moved Operation: Five performers operate Percy by pulling strings to move his features Falkor likely was the largest, but there is always a bigger fish - er... puppet!

[@westaussie965]

@@christopherporter2459what do you doubt? That it’s a puppet, pretty sure it is, or that it’s in Germany, because it is

[@guesswho4645]

Thank goodness that I wasn't the only one who thought that Falkor was a dog at first. I saw The Neverending Story when I was around 8 and thought that Falkor was a funny looking dog. As I gradually became older and have more understanding about the movie, I realized that Falkor was a luck dragon with a puppy looking face😂

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

I saw it when I was a kid in the 80s I think I was about seven or eight I always thought it was a flying dog

Why would that surprise you? The dude obviously "transformed" himself on purpose because he doesn't want to be recognized by fans of The Neverending Story or any of the other films he was in. He wants to be left alone and doesn't want to be bothered.
