On his way to school, Bastian ducks into a bookstore to avoid bullies. Sneaking away with a book called “The Neverending Story,” Bastian begins reading it in the school attic. When Bastian reads a description of himself in the book, he begins to wonder if Fantastica is real and needs him to survive.
In the novel, Fantastica, a fantasy land threatened by “The Nothing,” a darkness that destroys everything it touches. The Childlike Empress has chosen Atreyu, a young hunter, to be the Hero of the Great Quest. Atreyu, an orphan, is an unlikely choice, but he accepts and, with his horse and companion, Artax, rides to face the menace. He encounters the Swamps of Sadness, Ygramul the Many, the werewolf Gmork, befriends Falkor the luck Dragon and solves the riddles of the three magic gates to meet Uyulala.
Told with all the thrills of a classic adventure, The Neverending Story is a gripping adventure, full of weird and wondrous creatures, that will enthrall audience members.
