That was an interesting read. Thanks Dale.

It's very clever how they play with perception using depth of field tricks to make it look much bigger than it really is. It must have been an awful job to clear it up at the end of filming.

Neverending Story was one of those novels I couldn't put down, but I couldn't get into the film. Was it really 1983? I must be older than I thought!

Neverending Story, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal. All classics and all made with blood, sweat and tears. None of this CGI nonsense.

Bagpuss and the Clangers. Genius :D

I bought Dark Crystal when it was released on DVD and watch it every now and then. A great story.

It didn't end actually.

Never Ending Story 2 came out and ended the same way. Someone eventually picks up the book and continues it.

So there :)

and a third movie and a tv series. I love all these fantasy movies. CGI really hasn't managed to do creatures as well as the costumes made for these movies. There is a reamake of the neverending story lined up for 2012.
