  As an 80s kid, I will testify that so many of us were forever traumatized by the scene in the Swamp of Sadness.  Forever burned into our minds.

  And thus, an entire generation of children learned that it's POSSIBLE TO DIE FROM BEING TOO SAD. For extra trauma, in the book Artax can talk and is telling Atreyu the whole time to just let him go.

  Kid’s movies in the 80’s said “Fuck you, we’re going to scar you for life”<br><br>Imagine watching the scene with Artax when you’re a little kid and not an adult, just non stop tears

  &quot;That was intense!&quot;<br>The empress&apos; plea, delivered straight to camera, is heartbreaking. &nbsp;Tami Stronach was incredible, even if she only has that one scene.

  Fun fact: The voice actor of Falkor, who also voices Gmork and the Rockbiter, is the original voice of Skeletor in He-Man. Alan Oppenheimer.

  As a kid from the 80s who had serious depression this movie had a big impact on me. &nbsp;It just tried to give form to so many feelings. &nbsp;Well into my teens when I was struggling my dad would ask &apos;How do we fight the nothing?&apos; as a way to help ground me and register that I was spiraling. &nbsp;Its a very weird movie, but always going to be something special to me and something I go back to in times of grief.

  In fact, &apos;The Neverending Story&apos; is based on a 1979 German children&apos;s novel called &apos;Die unendliche Geschichte,&apos; written by Michael Ende. The downside of the movie is that it only covers the first part; the sequels deviated significantly from the book

  A person without imagination is a person without dreams and hopes. A person without hope is easy to control.<br>Holy shit, they went hard in the 20th century! And the soundtrack is amazing~

  So to explain a little because the drink his dad was making was actually once a hangover remedy. It&apos;s a subtle hint that the dad drinks as his way of coping with his wife&apos;s death.
