Kids Incorporated - Neverending Story (High Quality)

[FelicityA30]

i didn't even see stacy singing she was just dancing!!

[fergiephan1983]

@FelicityA30 Actually she was singing during the chorus.

[syudell84]

thsi song is great

Stacy Rocks

[asimmervideo]

is this like a Ryan / Renee duet? im trying to find as many as i can since its really Rare. plz anwser thanks

[starsweet4]

@asimmervideo maybe "another night"? they don't really have many actual duets together. or "two sides to every story"

[GCRams2]

The famous missing things episode. I remember this some was taking there stuff & found out who it was when he was playing the gitar in the closet.

[MaskedMan66]

Who is that shadowy figure?

[starsweet4]

i like this better than the original version..

[shajojojojo]

hard to estimate just how much that music and shows like this have impacted people like me. I just love hearing it. It's fresh, non-threatening, and strong, in presentation and the music too. Stuff like this really resonates in me. When my mom moved out and moved away with me in 85 I can remember wanting to be on a show like KIds Incorporated. Singing has been a big part of my life. I got a music degree in 2000 and never am surprised by how music and singing can add to a house of kids.

[maj1986]

Renee sings the chorous SO BEAUTIFULLY!!

[Movie06]

Sorry but I don't think The Nostalgia Critic would be happy as to how the song was handled in the show.

[GokuSS400]

@Movie06 who the heck cares what he thinks about it!? This show is EPIC. Ask ANY person born from the 70s - 90s and they'll tell you this show was AWESOME.

[Movie06]

@GokuSS400

No offense but this is the kind of stuff he'd review. And apparently, his brother has heard of it. Besides, I've been told the same thing about some of the The Nostalgia Critic reviewed. With the exception of Gargoyles, Hook, and a few others; they don't live up to the status quote of "awesome."

[GokuSS400]

@Movie06 you act as if the Nostalgia Critic is the ultimate authority on these things. He's one person, giving out his ONE opinion. Already I disagree with him on his review of Captain Planet (which I thought was awesome, and he didnt). Humans are not a hive mind, meaning we have the unique ability to think for OURSELVES and form our own opinions, shocking i know, but true.

[Movie06]

@GokuSS400

There are people who agree with him. I'm not saying he's an authority. I'm just saying that Kids Incorporated is the kind of stuff he'd review. And I've seen what the show has to offer. It's not funny, it's not good. Besides concerning his Captain Planet, he has a point. That show was a force feeding message happy cartoon. A cartoon whose sole mission was to force feed messages to kids.

[maj1986]

@Movie06 Well, the planet SHOULD be treated better or it will be done with us and live on without us IT is in control in the end WE are not. The earth can delte us any time it likes and there is JACK-SHIT we can do about it so Captain Planet was not such a bad show in retrospect.

[Movie06]

@maj1986

It's still a bad show in retrospect. It insults its target audience, assumes all kids and people are morons and the characters are just pitiful. I cannot tolerate such a show. If I ever have any kids, I will never show them Captain Planet. I'd show them a real animated show like Batman: The Animated Series. Now that show has class, intelligence and interesting stories.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 Got news for ya, pal: you're going to show your kids what THEY want to watch, even if it's something you don't like.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

If you show something good at a young age like three, they'll get into it. Perhaps, Batman: The Animated Series or Where The Wild Things Are would do.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 At three, both would be a bit too intense.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

Alright, no doubt about that. Sesame Street is more appropriate for the age of three. At least kids can actually learn.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

From Sesame Street I mean. That show is actually good and doesn't feel forced. 

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

Plus, I wouldn't want them to earn the same fate. End up watching some of the crappy kids shows and movies I watched.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 I'm sure you enjoyed them at the time, else you wouldn't have watched them. Basically, don't force them to watch what they don't want to.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

I wouldn't want them to have the same fate. I would not have them watch Barney or Quack Pack. I'd rather give them something competent and interesting. I wouldn't want them to be lied and cheated. Plus, do you have kids? If you don't, why are you telling me this? But whatever, let's move on as this is getting us nowhere.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 *shakes head* I won't call you naive, but shall we say perhaps unrealistically optimistic? The old saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." You can show a child your favorite shows, but you can't turn him into a fan. He will watch what he wants to watch, and you really won't have any say in the matter. That's just how it is.

"Lied?" How were you "lied" to, and how "cheated?"

(continued)

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 Since you've asked, I have no children of my own, but being an uncle of two and having many friends with children (and therefore done a lot of babysitting), I have observed more things and gained more knowledge on child-rearing than you seem to have amassed in your (I'm guessing) comparatively short life.

I'm putting that knowledge to work for your benefit so that when your toddler says, "No Batman! Barney!" you won't be able to say you weren't warned.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

In response to how I was cheated and lied? Let's just say that when you look back on the shows of your childhood: For every diamond, there's crap buried underneath.

And as for your other comment, it depends on how children are raised. I heard from a friend of mine who has met people who admits they liked certain good shows thanks to their parents. And it wasn't Barney.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 I don't see what you see, and that really isn't an answer; give us a real instance where you uncovered a lie in a show you watched.

I mean, I can dig that some people are either embarrassed by the shows of their childhoods or "outgrow" them. But it's daft to retrofit your memory and pretend as if the people who made those shows set out to deliberately do you a bad turn.

How old were they and what were the shows? In any case, I would call that the exception that proves the rule.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

By lied and cheated, I meant to say that I found a few shows and movies had not lived up to the test of time. Ferngully for starters, I was entraced by the animation and the visuals, the enviromental message eluded me, it escaped me. Nowadays when I look at it, the message is forced. I hate those kind of movies. My nostalgia goggles had blinded me of its blandness.

Similar with We're Back: A Dinosaur's story, now it's just stupid to me for a variety of reasons.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 I don't see how that qualifies as lying. It does sound as if you watched it at two entirely wrong points in your life; you missed the message first time around and the second time you saw it plainly; mark you, it isn't nearly as blatant as the "message" in "Avatar" (which, let's face it, is just a remake of "Ferngully"). Okay then, how would you have gone about telling it?

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

Give it character development, make it dark but with a happy ending, don't make it force feeding and such. Look, this debate has gone far enough. All I said was a harmless comment because I've seen the Critic's videos and one dude took it as an offense and I only said it because I know what his reaction is going to be towards the show.

And trust me, Doug has seen the show. He's an 80's child.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 *shakes head* "Look, this debate has gone far enough." Why do people give up on good discussions so quickly and easily?

Why dark? That isn't absolutely necessary. In an adventure there should be dangers, but overmuch "darkness" can be oppressive, and not just to kids.

What have I said that's been harmful?

And... *looks back over conversation* Sorry, who's Doug?

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

It depends on how dark can be executed well, Return to Oz; that was scary but kids like being scared. It just depends on the amount, Don Bluth has said "Children can handle anything if you give them a happy ending."

And Doug, he's the dude who plays The Nostalgia Critic. And the thing is, this cluterring up the comments and I don't want it to evolve into a flame war. Not that this hasn't been interesting but you know.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 With you on "Return to Oz," one of my faves. To be sure, children of a century ago could handle a lot more than kids seem to be able to now; the Oz books, especially the first one, had lots of scary stuff, but also lots of funny stuff. Baum knew his onions.

I don't know why people are so crazy about this man the "Nostalgia Critic." What I've heard of him, he tends to be rather superficial and cynical. Someone needs to tell him that a critic is supposed to critique, not criticize.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

I should also mention that Guillermo del Toro has said that the best childhood memories are the ones that are scary. And The NC is a comedic character, offering opinions and making jokes on the subject. Most of the time, his videos can be reflective of his own opinion albeit exgarrated and Doug knows what a critic does. I highly recommend watching his videos, trust me.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 Eh, thanks, but I won't bother. I sense an "MST3K" wannabe, which is really sad when you think about it.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

I know what you're going to say, "it's just for kids, no need for effort." Which I call bs on. Just because you make something for kids, doesn't mean you don't have to try to make a good story. Henry Selick and Spike Jonze figured this out. Intelligent men who knows deep down what a kid wants to see. And yes, Henry has children. So he knows what he's doing.

[Movie06]

@Movie06

But look, I'm sorry if this debate will spiral out of control. You're an uncle, I respect that. It's just it's how I feel about certain films and tv shows, I'm a veteran of childhood shows and fims good or bad. Hell, Warriors of Virtue is my most hated film as much as Ebert hates North. But the point is, it's my opinion and I just don't see the appeal in certain things, not because I'm not the target audience. It's ust don't see how it appeals to kids.

So, peace? Truce?

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 We haven't been at war; I only set out to warn you that little'uns will watch what they want, and parents can choose to suffer through or to enjoy it through their kids' eyes.

Me, I still like what I liked as a child and have no qualms about saying so. As for "Warriors of Virtue," I can see why it didn't succeed at the box office, but I can also see the good in it-- and ya gotta like Ming! To me it's a "Neverending Story"-level film. (There, I made a reference to the video!)

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

I disagree because I see the bad stuff in Warriors of Virtue. And I suppose you have a point but the parents thing is part of the issue I have with children's films and shows with the bad stuff being crappy. Why should the parents suffer?

All I'm saying is, kids deserve better.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 And all I'm saying (for what seems the umpteenth time) is that small children will watch what they want and their parents have to deal with it.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 I would never dream of saying that; not only do children appreciate a good story, but they can often spot a plot hole or an inconsistency or a message more readily than adults can. C.S. Lewis, for instance, was amazed to learn that children were more hip to the Christian imagery in his Narnia stories than their parents.

However, below a certain age, say 5, things do need to be simplified so the tykes can keep up. That doesn't always appeal to older people, and it isn't supposed to.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

I suppose so with the last paragraph. Considering Sesame Street is a good show for that age group, it doesn't hurt to show it.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 There ya go! And have you ever seen the original "Electric Company," with Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno and (in the earliest shows) Bill Cosby? One of the best shows ever made.

[Movie06]

@MaskedMan66

I'm aware of its existence but never saw it. I was a 90's kid.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 Ah, see if you can find it on DVD; some libraries have it. Truly some of the best sketch comedy ever written. For that matter, I bet you can find some of it here on YT. My personal recommendation would be the milkman skit with Cosby and Moreno.

[MaskedMan66]

@Movie06 There were also animated bits, such as "Letterman," starring the voices of Gene Wilder, Joan Rivers, and Zero Mostel. Another animated character who turned up now and again was voiced by Mel Brooks. And every so often a Muppet would wander in from Sesame Street.

[maj1986]

@GokuSS400 Well sed and I agree with you FULLY.

[howardkevinm]

The 80s and this show went together great. the 90s and the show not so good. the mood changed. the songs werent so electronic

[davidtennantaddict13]

Awesome! I used to love this show! I didn't remember them ever doing a cover of this, and it's such a great 80's song! This sure has brought back fond memories for me.

[muzykislyfe]

Haha I had a crush on stacy and renee when i was 10 lol they were awesome.

[kirsty2006dodgs]

I proper love this song and Kids Incorporated did a fantasic version of this song... Ryan Lambert and Renee Sands were definetly the best singers on this show they didnt need the rest of the group them two just doing a duet of this song would of been perfect.... I am completly mad about this show and this is my favourtive season and favourtive group. I have this song on my Ipod which i listen to all the time xx

[starsweet4]

@kirsty2006dodgs i think the best singers were martika, renee, and rahsaan

[Heegoop]

Renee looked stunning.

[PPooCCaaHHooNNttAAss]

Ryan Lamber is soo sweet :D

[BenjaminLaird]

fuckin' a!

[princess45886]

my dad usedd to luv this moviee wen he was little and i qot tha moviee bhuts its a little wierd movie bhut i still like itt( :

[robbduffy]

your dad? WOW, now I feel old. :)

[rubinoos1]

I' started a petition for the release of every season of this show onto DVD. You can find the url on my channel page, since I can't post it here. just trying to get the word out!

[rmchavin]

I accidentally first discovered Kids Incorporated in July, 2008 while listening to more than 50 different performances of The Neverending Story on YouTube. I predict that people will be developing a crush on Renee and Stacy for hundreds of years.

[Itsnattatooma]

Sup Dawg, we heard you liked the

80s.....so we put some 80s in your 80s.

[Nikkorasu78]

it cracks me up when I see the microphones... back then that was what it was. LOL... you had a mic with a huge antenna connected to it... man.. oh how times have changed. I find that I don't hate this show as much as I had as a kid... i like it way more now.

[scottpunkrock]

I always hated the kids on this show. Except for Ryan Lambert.....he was a badass.

[Market42Fan]

The producers were really playing with the video effects the first two seasons (pre-Disney Channel).

[hupyt]

are u selling the series?

[1badstud]

I loved Marta!

[CalgarSkull]

Ryan was good here, he sang well season 2...well his FIRST season

[mrdillyyo]

need these first few seasons on dvd!

[animaniac1]

Haha ok... Anyone notice when Fergie comes out and just starts doing windmills with her right arm out of nowhere?LOL Also Fergie totally clocks purple chick in the face with that same crazy arm near the end. Ryan is SO damn cute. Please tell me he grew up gay.

[Mascro1977]

I wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jeremyud]

No, but Mickey aka the guy who got cut from the first season did.

[mistressfreyja1313]

As far as I know, he's straight as an arrow.

[robbduffy]

Ryan kinda disappeared after he left KIDS, just like Jerry after season 1.

[davidtennantaddict13]

@robbduffy Check out his band Elephone. They're awesome!

[Segacamp]

I totally love the intro to Neverending Story I used to see the movie a long time ago but I can barely remembers what happen in the movie but i love the theme

[rbryanh]

This is a cover in the same sense Katrina "covered" New Orleans. What creepy little pitch-free midgets. Ryan Lambert manages to wobble through his solos without completing a phrase or hitting a single note - it's remarkable, like listening to someone sing on a respirator.

Couldn't they have remade a Debbie Boone hit?

[kaglaizer]

Okay...someone back me up here... The chick in the red sweater who is allegedly "Martika" is actually Jennifer Beals, right? If that's not Jennifer Beals then this Martika woman is a dead ringer for her...

[jeremyud]

Nope, that's Martika. She had a 1989 hit called "Toy Soldiers".

Now that you mention it, she does look a lot like Jennifer Bears, but she's only about sixteen here.

[pf126p]

Martika also played one of the orphans in the film version of Annie from 1982.

[txncali81]

who is the guy that begins the song?

[Megan80]

Ryan Lambert.

[dkoch2]

love the song, love the movie

[DevonFigures21]

i own neverending story 1&2 believe me youll never find bettr movies even if you were a millionaire with access to every single vhs dvd anything cuz nothing beats neverensding story

[nickisc2006]

I love the movie Neverending story!♥

[teachingmoon]

Notice when they show Martika and Renee in the two side boxes they are not them right then. The hand movements and dancing are different from them on stage.

[216rules]

I noticed that, too. Possibly it's from a different take.

[teachingmoon]

I love this. The quality is awsome. I wish that it would be released on DVD in high quality and do a reunion show.

[FlamingRuby]

This song was remixed for DDR

[Captaingamecube]

wow this clip is fantastic! thanks

[jimmypi]

And Stacy with her singing without the mic even up to her face... yeah... gotta love it.

[KidsIncorporated]

LOL She was notorious for that... hahaa

[MaskedMan66]

@jimmypi Hey, the way that gal can belt, she don't need to!

[jimmypi]

Oh Ryan... :)
