While hiding from bullies in his school's attic, a young boy discovers the extraordinary land of Fantasia, through a magical book called The Neverending Story. The book tells the tale of Atreyu, a young warrior who, with the help of a luck dragon named Falkor, must save Fantasia from the destruction of The Nothing.

— Critical consensus, summarised
A hugely beloved 80s family fantasy that critics enjoyed at release and that has become a generational cult classic. Atreyu, Falkor, and the Rock Biter remain references; the Artax-in-the-swamp sequence still breaks people.
