An imaginative young boy hiding from the dangers of life retreats into a book full of wonder, excitement and dangers of its own.
It’s tough out there for a bookish kid.
For Bastian, the streets are filled with bullies and the best place to hide is in a dusty bookshop. There, he happens across a mysterious book that he steals away: The NeverEnding Story.
Deciding to read the book instead of attending class, Bastian finds himself drawn into an imaginative world named Fantasia that is under threat from an unknown force, causing it to rapidly decay.
Fuelled by the imagination of a child, The NeverEnding Story reflects the power of the imagination to bring unspoken things to life: characters, story and feelings too.
Tickets to our Kids' Flicks with Feelings films include a pre-screening talk that introduces the concept of emotional intelligence to younger viewers, as well as a take-home activity kit.
