Random Salad is full of things much less interesting than this. Whether you've come to this page by a link or by voodoo sex magic, pay a visit to the homescreen before you go.
Christoph MalcolmThere were already a couple of Neverending Story sequels, and they were, to my very young memory, surprisingly pretty good.
GenI liked the sequels. Good plot and good production value. A few of my friends always whined that “you can never compete with the original” and crap like that, but I think they just didn’t understand that it was a sequel. It’s not supposed to be the same, just similar and just as good.
Joey MichaelsI have the theme song to “Never Ending Story” on my iPod. I never really forgave Limahl for breaking up Kajagoogoo, but the good news is, that band is back together and touring again.
LockeThe sequals were good I think, though I barely remember them. I just remember Bastion climbing a big mountain or something and making wishes.
I want a bumper sticker that says “My other ride is a luck dragon”.
GrazorWTF guys - my pubes being discussed on the radio???!!!
You do now realise Christoph, that if you ever, ever, EVAR! slip up and publish your address on the internet, I’m gonna be sending you something hairy in the post?
Joey MichaelsHmm. Other 80’s style fantasy movies with Puppets, besides Labrynth and Neverending story?
Dark Crystal
Return to Oz (which is quite excellent)
No puppets, but Ladyhawke was a popular one
Joey MichaelsIndeed, I would argue it is far superior to the more popular “Wizard of Oz.”
Kimber LooI watched Dark Crystal as a child, and then when I was introduced to Labyrinth and Legend I watched it again and ruined it.
I vaguely remember Return to Oz.
I do not remember Ladyhawke at all… so, gotta look that one up.
LockeAll I remember is Dark Crystal scaring the shit of a 4-year-old me.
Joey MichaelsDark Crystal era muppets all had hella acne if I remember correctly. Maybe that was me.
BukolaI saw Dark Crystal because my boyfriend added it to our netflix que. It was surprisingly good. The use of puppetry was amazing. With the
‘over-use’ of cgi in movies now puppetry is becoming a lost art form.

You cock, the kid from the Neverending story’s name was Atreyu and the horse did have a name. It was Artex. How can you not remember him screaming his name in the swamp? That was the saddest thing. Except for maybe the Rock Biter’s hands that just weren’t strong enough.
They’re gonna probably remake The Neverending Story in some crappy CGI studio somewhere and my soul is going to die a little.
I would make a fantasy film so hard.
If you give me an address I will give you a hoolahoop.
