The Neverending Story (1984) - Inama Nushif

[pypeworld]

I believe this video now deserves a HD update, so viewers can watch how wonderful the editing skills are for this timeless fantasy flick.

[Asiaxfani]

Found this yesterday and can't. Stop. Watching. It.

[dimelion1]

two of my favorite songs, and one of my favorite films — excellent combo.

[kevtarte]

That was awesome!

It made me cry and I thank you.

[msampey23]

One of the best videos on youtube. Nostalgia abounds and dreams are rebirthed amid joy and tears for childhood memories and yearning for the simpler times of life when youth clung to the power of imagination. I am undone.

[Naviaravideos]

This music and the movie - a perfect match! :-)

[JunkInTheFrunk]

Two of my favorite instrumental songs put to my favorite childhood movie... this my fellow youtubers is the stuff dreams are made of. BTW I love how you opened and closed the video! WELL DONE!

[rangitotomart]

The first (and for me only) chapter was great!!! I still have the signed "Die unendliche Geschichte"-Book from Michael Ende!! :-)

btw:

The sound in this posted trailer ... does not fit... :-)

[userac78]

i really love this video, even though it can meke me feel so sad. it touches a deep spot.

[tatjanaswan]

soooo schön, muss immer wider weinen. aber der film ist super, kann man jeden empfehlen

[crazyartfreak]

Wow takes me back. LOved this movie would love to find it again.

Nothing like being completely entranced with a book that nothing else around you matters.

[Fizzy14pony]

It's very beautiful, epical and ravishing!

[userac78]

wow what a great video put together!!

[pilotsim]

Great use of the dialog!

[isildae21]

Beautiful, Epic, Transcendent. You express everything that makes this movie the wonder and majesty that it is.

[RentHeadBoi81]

Very gorgeous and moving. :) Thanks for sharing this.

[socks4070]

what is the girls name at the begining?

[jgventer]

@socks4070 Tami Stronach

[atreyu179]

This music really reminds me of Hans Zimmer's work in Gladiator. Check out the song Now We Are Free. EXCELLENT song, reminds me of this one a lot. That's probably why I'm so drawn to this video! Well that, and like I said in my previous post, the montage was so well edited.

AboveSkyWater, I'm curious to know if you found any other books that rival NeverEnding Story. I've since read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Check it out if you haven't. It shares the same Urban Fantasy type theme as NeS.

[atreyu179]

Very interesting remix and montage! I absolutely love well-made edits like this, especially when they involve one of my favorite films of all time! Kudos to you for making this. The song was beautiful and your synchronization was spot on.

I'm not sure how well my montage compares, but feel free to check it out. look it up on youtube. It's entitled "NeverEnding Story Tribute with Chapterhouse - Love Forever (Ulrich Schnauss Remix [Instrumental]) HD" A mouthful, I know!

Excellent work! :)

[userac78]

@atreyu179 this video is a reply to your video.

[hter9]

i don't even remember half of it..... think i should go read it or watch it again....

[droidsfirst]

this movie is still in theaters, it will never be out of them.

[Katers17]

Gorgeous remix :)

[TheRealityJunkie]

Who ever put this together; it is wonderful. Inama Shurif, My Name is Lincoln and Neverending Story...three excellent selections. But what is great is the way it is put together; the intensity that is felt when everything is about to collapse and the Childlike Empress is looking right at us (at Bastian) and Bastian is looking right at us (at the Childlike Empress)...that moment of intensity is just amazing.

[userac78]

@TheRealityJunkie it is, but they missed another one, when atreyou stares at bastian in the mirror and bastian looks back, the director could have made it so after that atreyu looks at us and then bastian looks at us. that would have been great.

[gladiluza]

oooooooooooo video inpresionante oooooo

[sestren2503]

I've seen a lot of vids using Inama Nushif, but I never knew the song was this long. Usually it ends early. Awesome!

[TheBigBadBadger]

Beautifully done - great job selecting the music, too! One of my favorite childhood movies!

[cdowell1976]

Absolutely wonderful compiliation!

[nickalan2110]

Beautiful.

[angelsgrace16]

thank you for the second song i had never heard it and love it. Nothing makes me happier than experiencing a new wonderful piece of music

[Ezekielepharcelis]

Very good Movie Tribute !

[Raistlinh]

Thank you SkyAboveWater! I go get the book right now! (and maybe the film)

[dakotafrank]

@Raistlinh Don't bother with the sequel films, they suck.

[hcvang]

@dakotafrank as does the television show... stick with the published books and the first film.

[dakotafrank]

@hcvang There was a TV show?!? My brain hurts.

[hcvang]

@dakotafrank nothing wrong with television, man.. actors, writers, production staff, lighters, directors, photographers all gotta eat too, man.

and the animated series wasnt half bad.

[thebbeenn]

@hcvang

IMO the two Scifi channel miniseries did way better than the movies. Sure the decor, the costumes and the FX were sub-par, but the acting was nice and the story was made better justice than any of the movies.

Otherwise I agree, the books have never quite been made justice other than in their native format. Generally I love the movie medium more than books, so I'm still waiting for a visionary director to take on the Dune franchise. Doesn't look very hoperful though...

[lMaBanana]

Wow, that was... very, very well done

[kutusumagal]

I love this video! Thanks

[Enlothien82]

Wow, the two music themes give me goosebumps every time I listen to them. Combines with the touching movie themes, it's even greater... thank you! I love Michael Ende's books, all of them, yet I also like the Neverending Story movie. I don't compare, I see them as one great fantasy book and one great fantasy movie!

[MiyahSummer]

It reminds me of the music in Avatar.

[kony9993]

@MiyahSummer

Yes , song "My name is Lincoln" was used in Avatar's thriler .

[mercuryparis]

READ THE BOOK OF MICHAEL END , it is a million times nicer that the film . You will never regret it.

[itopitonitito]

this is a joke

[feroxicus]

first theme is "Inama Nushif" from "Children of a Dune" and the secound is "My name is Lincolm" from "Die Insel"  both themes are unbelivable genial!

[FJAYPEE]

loved this film as a child and the music is awesome!!!!!

[feroxicus]

<3 !

[LarkasBlessing12]

one of my fave movies as a kid ^-^ love the video! 5/5

[antilect]

Thank you world, for giving me such a wonderful clip created by a kindred spirit, much like myself. All love in the world to you.

[dakotafrank]

I loved that movie as a kid. The video is just amazing! The end made me have to swallow a lump in my throat.

[ernestinaolivera]

Great film. Unforgettable. I love it.

Really beautiful video.

Thanks for sharing.

[pypeworld]

A truly wonderful and majestic fan video, which will for evermore stand the test of time, for anyone who may chance a flight of fantasy into a Neverending Story.

[RainbowSaints]

Very Beautiful. Nevrendingstory always 1 ofmy favourites.beautful scenes composition & music.

[Duke3x]

Ooooo - very good. And enjoy the splice with My Name is Lincoln too!

[mainsqueeze1977]

PS. But your clip is good.

[roboticnoface]

this movie gives me nightmares :(

[mainsqueeze1977]

I dreamt of Gmork for weeks.

But still, the movie was one of the greatest disappointments.

[AL3XAdRi]

i was in love with this movie when i was little... heck i still am in love with this movie...lol

[atlantis315]

when i was a child i loved it but now not that much

but you've done great job i think

this two songs belong to my favourites

thanks for posting

[Darkknight088]

I can't believe they're remaking this hollywood sucks money hunger bastards

[cosmicmanik]

love it, totally love it... awesome editing, and the video is pretty much a circle, you start in the darkness, the emptyness, and at the end, you end it with the first wish... the desire that emerges from lackness... we will continue wondering if the Ivory Tower is still standing for us... the humanity...

[hubristime]

Perfection. I cannot explain how it makes me feel.

view_play_list?p=38CB6792C882D­4E5

[Bachconcertos]

It's perfect. The best Never Ending Story clip I have seen on here - and I've been up for hours lookng through them all. The music is fantastic. Thank you.

[marissaphoto]

Great vid :)

[MaskedGamer]

Excellent job, I am so happy that you made this. It puts together everything that was beautiful about this movie, with very few words.

[Eowyn47]

I watch this video a lot. Speaking as a filmmaker and editor myself, it's very well-edited. It gives me chills every time I watch it! Very nice!

[insanelyenchanting]

i am reading this book right now for the first time, and it is amazing....the movie cant even be compared to it

[54spiritedwill54]

I love the music, it ties in very well with the movie.

[19MATE95]

What is this story about?

[WOLF333999]

Excellent tribute. Criticism: it could be longer ...

[Palamanda]

that is amazing, wonderful work, thanks man!

[anusiak33]

Great job! Love it! 5000 stars!

Thank You.

[Hyperkind1989]

As a kid i dreamt i was in this world... never read the book though... love it!

[creaothceann]

Try this link: tinyurl[dot]com/bnh5sw

You can always buy it if you like it.

[mrdrastic]

Fantastic. I grew up with the neverending story and still love it.

[Youkawi]

Amazing video! God I love fantsy so much! Thank you for this phantastic video!

Greatings

[temperamental891]

This is... Divine. 5 stars. I love this movie very much.

[LukeDuke54]

Skyabovewater thankyou so much!that was a really great vid of my fav movie...Thanks dear!!

[ElizabethxPete]

Really great!:D I loved it! did you see the film first, or read the book first :P?

[Sanskare]

It's a wonderfull video and I really want to thank you for it. It lightened my day and made my life better. Thank you.

[Szmajdziul]

I must confess that I never readed the book, or watched the movie... So i can't say anything about that, but this compilation you did... ouh... breathtaking is not a good enough word! :)

[gherilain]

I so agree with you about the book!

It was my liberation! I was eight years old, when I first laid hands on it. My first trip to another world.

I have no idea, how often I have read it, since.

I still love it.

I like your vid! To me, there's never been another Atreyu, as Noah Hathaway and I really don't like the sequels.

Have a nice day!

[vader5001]

An awesome video. Great use of Inama Nusif and Lincoln. I applaud you. Check out my vid sometime. Just search my name. Let me know what you think. MAY GOD BLESS YOU! And if you're in the states sometime we'll lunch. Well done!!! And the sequels did stink. Thanks for not using them.

[andraze11]

this song is performed by azam ali and it's the principal theme of Children of Dune

[floret123asdf]

This song in combination with this movie creates ravishingly emotions.Realy great job.

[Kman227]

I love the movie and I just acquired the book ;)

Thank you very much for this video. I really like the music and it suits the images so well.

[theunraveler]

i think the best part in the movie was the scene with the turtle, practically everything the turtle said was funny

"I'm allergic to youth!"

[m0207]

This is one of my favorite movies and by far the best literature. Movies just aren't made like this any more neither is the music!

[pilotsim]

great job on this video!

[lordrodru]

I am impressed with the book, I saw this movie in VHS when I was a child, but never had the chance to read the book, not until two days ago! I mean, I can't believe I spent nearly 15 years of my life deprived from this masterpiece of literature!! I love the movie and this video is awesome!! Congratulations

[JCubDK]

I was reading the book as kid and suddenly something just snapped in my head. I didn't want Fantásia to disappear, so I made it a personal goal to invent and make up new lands, races, and creatures every day.

It lasted for about a good year, and I was damn proud of myself!

Now, I have forgotten so many of the creatures and lands, but a very few still pops up in my mind every now and then.

Fantasy and imagination are treasures to share and love.

[DragonflyandTheWolf]

Very beautiful video. I love this song and I think it goes well with this movie. Job well done, this is truly a great music video.

[Joyness333]

The movie simply has a universal message that no child or adult can ignore. And they did a wonderful job executing it.

[Joyness333]

I should say book and then movie. And the video complemented the movie perfectly. Very moving and thought provoking.

[pypeworld]

The 1984 version of The Neverending Story has admittedly dated, but the heart and soul shall always remain an ever lasting vision of childish innocence and fantasy.

[LifeAnalyzer]

That is so freakin good. Wow!!! Awesome!!! I love it love it love it!! What is the name of the song that goes with the video?

[Abigail444]

Inama Nushif- it's from movie "Children of Dune".

[Eowyn47]

Wow, that music gives me chills every time! Great video too! I'm a film and video editor, so I appreciate well-done videos.

[gordin23]

3:18- 3:21

what are those statues called?

[fylaxx]

Sphinxes. In the story they're the first gate (of two in the movie and of three in the book) you have to pass through to get to the oracle. For some reason they used the same figures (but blue) as the oracle while in the book the oracle is a voice that speaks in rhymes and only hears you when you speak in rhymes.

[JCubDK]

Uyulála, the Voice of Silence?

[phatfatgurl]

ohhh.. and i just finished watching the vid for the 3rd time, great job on sequencing the vid with the song. Just beautiful! Keep it up!!

[phatfatgurl]

wow..it's been killing me for a few days..if someone can email me, or send me a message- what's the lil girl's name that Bastian gives her? When she's all teary eyed and yelling at him...lol thanks in advance!

[jacksonbrown9311]

Moonchild. It was his mother's name. ^_^

[brunoellern]

One of the best tributes I've ever seen. Perfect combination of images and music. 5 Stars.

[octopusmagnificens]

Yes, she is the lovely Tami Stronach.

[BoatonSea]

I used to have such a crush on Atreyu. You've got an amazing cinematic instinct. Hope someone is paying you for this somewhere.

[chromelemon]

I love the music, it ties in very well with the movie. Simply Fantastic! Great Job SkyAboveWater!

[Nightlull]

Gosh, it's been like ages since I saw this movie:P. I liked your video^^,it was a bit too static in some parts but still I found it interesting to watch.

[Shifterred]

I:

Love the movie.

Adore and practically worship the book.

Drool over this video.

Thank you for sharing! It's beautiful and makes me nostalgic!

[dkedesign]

Brilliant!  Thank you!

[MattTaylor1981]

*rubs bump on head left by bat of nostalgia +4*

Thanks :D

[futuredata]

Ooops! Sorry 4 the multiple posts! :-P I wasn't getting the "Your comment has been posted" message, plus I think that @ one point Youtube was getting an overload of people posting comments or something. Anyway, sorry again & cool vid!

[SkyAboveWater]

Yep, I noticed, and deleted the three multiples. :o)

Don't worry, though - it has happened to me before, too (and I'm sure to everybody else as well).

Thanks for your comment! :o)

[futuredata]

Very nice vid montage. :-) Sure brings back memories & makes me want 2 see the movie again! Man, I remember those Oracles. Freaked me out whenever their eyes opened! BTW, I like the music...It makes me think of Enya...Thank U 4 putting this vid 2gether! :-)

[Myrthmor]

After Imana you played the Elizabeth the Golden Age main menu DVD music. Nice transition. I liked it. Never Ending Story- brings back memories.

[mjmanning123]

Bastian! Call my name!

[smithca6]

this has been my favourite movie since i was like 8. and now im 21 and it still is. this gave me chills. unbelievable. thanks soo much

[merfwriter]

I loved this movie as a child, espialy the The Neverending Story 2 movie.

[kutusumagal]

WONDERFULL!!!

[libranwiccan]

this is the best tribute video i have ever encountered. and that song?! so powerful.

[pigtails98]

Nice transition between songs. Seamless.

[Reykja19]

Hi there ! I'm 28, almost 29, and I've always loved this film. Not only the music, but also the mean plot and the characters.

When I read the book for the first time, I couldn't stop crying at the end of the book because I thought that, since it was a never ending story, it shouldn't ever stop !

[SGTBizarro]

I cant wait for Enders Game to come out, simply because it is being made by the same Director (THE director) who made this film, wolfgang peterson. gotta love him, he made a wonderful and timeless movie!

[Babylon2260]

Whoa, are you serious? There's an Ender's Game movie coming out? Wow, I can't wait to see that!

[Dahleer]

Wonderful job:)

[TheBambi87]

This is sooo Wonderful....Than k you a lot..;)

[Smilewithme07]

In the begining it is allways dark. And I remain speecheless, for I have yet to find the words to describe what can not be described in words. Thank you for opening my heart yet again

[iberico88]

Great tribute to this movie ! Congratulations ! I was a tiny little child the first time I saw it. So a lot of great remindings make me enjoy your video.

You wrote : " the movie will pale in comparison... " of the book ; Well... I must belive you ! I'm still looking for it ( in Spanish, or French. I don't understand German ). May one day i'll find it... Just experience make me think you're right.

[Shifterred]

Actually, the book is also available in English.

I, personally, can't read in any of those languages. =) I can't say if it's "worse" or "better" in any other language. But I loved it in English.

[iberico88]

thanks for the information !

[DARKCHERLINUX]

The video is fantastic"(n.n)"esta es una de mis peliculas favoritas d fantasia.

[QueenBoadicea]

I saw the movie which inspired me to find the book. I'm a bookworm, too, and the notion of hidden worlds coming alive in books was absolutely wondrous. The idea that one of the characters spends most of the movie shut up without physically going anywhere was appealing, too. (Don't all bookworms feel the same way?) The visual embodiment of many of the book's elements was in no way a disappointment.

[csunryder]

Also considering the title of the piece is Inama Nushif which is Fremen for "She is eternal."

[csunryder]

Good use of the music from Children of Dune.

[legend3160]

I've not seen the film yet - -i have it on dvd and will watch it soon but this video is excellent. I didn't want to spoil the film though so i couldn't watch to the end!

[Princessportent]

What a smart way of interweaving the two pieces of music. You have such talent! I think I'll subscribe ;) - 5/5

[arashiandfiends]

ok,I'm crying. It was beautiful. Here in Italy we also love 'La Storia Infinita'

[Artoveli]

TNES is Great, and Michael Ende is my favorite author because of it! Great job on this vid, it captures the spirit of the film quite nicely.

On a more painful topic, have you seen anything from the miniseries they did a few years ago? Ugh!

[Lolmann1337]

beautiful cuts, beautiful music. this video owns. it purely awakes peoples fantasy and let me remember of my childhood. 5 of 5 stars

[SIRVAPECHUGAS]

The Neverending story movie must have been THE best fantasy movie of my childhood. Great work on the scene selection and placement. Even with just images, you portrayed perfectly the ambiance of the movie from my memories...

Thanks so much.....

[myownfantasia]

well done!!!

the synchronization of sound and image is excellent.

I love "Neverending Story"- it make me feel fantastic:)your amazing video as well:)

and my little niece seeing this video was crazy for see full movie:)

thanks a million!;)

[Amadan212]

They should make a new version of this movie

[akvavitten]

this movie came out, when i was a small kid -- so i saw the movie, before being able to read the book.

i was blown away, i remember. it was so strong, so sweet, so full of love and truth.

defenitely one of the most heartfull and creative movies ever..

[fumoecenere]

amazing... I love this film!

[ekomancer]

Beautifully done.

[RLviddy]

I loved this. I can tell how much you were inspired by this story. Great music choices, too.

[elenapd05]

I love songs you used!!! They are my favorite for both shows!!!

[ZMistress]

I struggled quite a bit before daring to write a comment because I adore the book so much - and just don't love the movie. There are just a number of things that really annoyed me in the adaption but as you didn't focus on any of them it made me forget about all that while watching. The timing is awesome, the choice of scenes really nice and the music is very touching. 5/5 and a favorite (and I don't fav everything I like).

[JJKruspy]

You did great squeezing the movie into one video, once again. I am impressed. I love this, just like I love all of your work. You're the first vidder in a long while who makes the videos for the right reasons, you inspire me to keep making videos myself. I will try to make more movie videos. Fantastic job! 5 stars and favourited!

[puckthegreat]

amazing video, really liked it. It captures the essence of the movie. And I just read the book, you're so right. It's such a great book.

[kt761]

I think this clip is much more beautiful than original, but I will go video shop for lent Never Ending Story:)

[majafabiana]

great GREAT job! so many feelings... you made great mix of songs, so the second song totally fits with the first one and they seem as one.

thanx for making the video and reminding me on this movie. well done. keep up good work.. =)

[THEg00nies]

beatiful video and an awesome movie the music is just perfect

great job!!

[JCubDK]

By all the stars of Fantásia! It was stunningly beautiful! I cried!

I have always loved The Neverending Story, thank you so much for making me remember!!

[SkyAboveWater]

Hi JCub - thank you so much for commenting!

I guess I'll take the fact that the video managed to make you teary-eyed as a compliment.

Glad you enjoyed it. :o)

[hotepshakkara]

I was wondering what the second part of the music is, as that's not part of the Dune music as far as I know.

[SkyAboveWater]

You're right, the second song isn't taken from the Dune soundtrack. It's a part of the "My name is Lincoln" piece by Steve Jablonsky which can be found on the soundtrack to "Island" - crappy movie in my opinion, but that song made up for it I guess. ;o)

[solarsupplies]

great vid, whats the music?

[Inufan83]

Great and beautiful vid. I like how you use two songs for this vid. The second song sounds very beautiful on 3:51-6:19. Nice job.

[AlannaTano]

That was so absolutely beautiful, just really really great perfect video making. Thank you :) !!!
