The Neverending Story

On Tuesday of this week one of the girls was at a soccer game.  Their daddy was at a meeting of all the area preachers and one of the other girls was sick and went to bed at 6:00, which is very odd for her. So that left the youngest of my three and me with nothing to do and nowhere to be.  We scrolled through the OnDemand channels in search of a movie and she informed me that she had never seen The Neverending Story.  I could not believe it!  So we watched it.  She was amazed at the graphics, or lack thereof.  She kept saying that it looked so funny and not real.  It kind of made me chuckle.  So anyway, if you have never seen The Neverending Story I would reccommend it.  Story is about a little boy who has lost his mother, has a slightly overbearing yet caring dad who just wants him to man up, and loves to read.  He is bullied on the way to school and ends up stealing a book from an odd man.  Although it is never specifically stated, the old man in the book store sets it up for the boy to steal the book because he knows the boy and the book belong together.  The movie takes you on an adventure where the boy in the book searches for a way to save his world.  This is a movie about a sad little boy learning his own worth and realizing that his imagination is what keeps the world of Fantasia rolling along.   Cute movie with some odd little characters.  Nothing too deep but my daughter enjoyed it.
