|
Harmony
|

|
The Serpent's Seal
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
Teeny Weeny
|
|
|

G'Mork
|

|
Because The Childlike Empress is ill, Cairon announces that Atreyu will be their only hope to save Fantasia. Atreyu was doing something pretty important that he's more than willing to get back to if they can't accept his young age. What was that?
|
|
|
Build a hut
|
|
|
Have an arranged marriage
|
|
|
Study magic
|
|
|
Hunt purple buffalo
|
|
9.
|
At the same time Atreyu is given the quest to find a cure for The Childlike Empress, something *else* begins a more sinister quest. Who is this man or beast?
|
|
|
G'Mork
|
|
|
Boxey
|
|
|
Tri Face
|
|
|
Artax
|
|
10.
|
When it comes time for a break from the book, Bastian takes out his bagged lunch. He makes sure to save some of it, realizing that he has a long way to go, but what does he have to eat?
|
|
|
Lunchables
|
|
|
Sandwich and apple
|
|
|
Soup in a thermos
|
|
|
A fruit salad cup
|
|
11.
|
After searching The Silver Mountians, The Desert of Shattered Hopes, and The Crystal Towers, Atreyu finds himself in the Swamps of Sadness. Why would he even come to such a dreadful place?
|
|
|
He heard a kind of root grew there would cure The Empress
|
|
|
He was trying to get the jump on G'Mork
|
|
|
He was looking for Morla, The Ancient One
|
|
|
He didn't want to cross the slopes of Caradhras
|
|
12.
|
Here's an easy one for those still traumatized by the scene. Who doesn't make it out of the Swamps of Sadness alive?
|
|
|
Artax
|
|
|
Falkor
|
|
|
Bastian
|
|
|
Turok
|
|
13.
|
Morla isn't really much help to Atreyu as The Ancient One mostly only sneezes so violently she sends the warrior into the mud on several occasions. Besides suggesting he visit the Southern Oracle for advice, there is something very important about this scene. What is it?
|
|
|
Atreyu breaks his leg in one of his falls
|
|
|
Bastian is caught reading The Neverending Story by a teacher
|
|
|
Bastian believes Atreyu heard him scream when he first reads about Morla
|
|
|
Artax is brought back to life
|
|
14.
|
Thankfully, Atreyu is snatched from the jaws of G'Mork by Falkor before he, too, falls in the Swamps of Sadness. Resembling a large furry flying dog, Falkor is actually what kind of creature?
|
|
|
A Phoenix
|
|
|
A Luck Dragon
|
|
|
A Chimera
|
|
|
A Nighthob
|
|
15.
|
So where does Falcor take Atreyu to, which just so happens to be right around the corner from The Southern Oracle and is home of someone who claims to be an expert on the subject actually?
|
|
|
Urgl and Engywook
|
|
|
The Rockbiters
|
|
|
Xayide's Castle
|
|
|
The Ivory Tower
|
|
16.
|
How many gates are there that guard The Southern Oracle, anyway?
|
|
|
Three
|
|
|
Five
|
|
|
One
|
|
|
Two
|
|
17.
|
The answer to the last question was two. The first of which are the massive Sphinxes that shoot laser beams out of their eyes! How awesome is that? What exactly is the gate supposed to test, though?
|
|
|
A person's speed
|
|
|
A person's wisdom
|
|
|
A person's strength
|
|
|
A person's confidence
|
|
18.
|
Things get really strange for Bastian once again with the Magic Mirror Gate. Why is that?
|
|
|
He discovers pages of the book are torn out
|
|
|
When Atreyu looks into the mirror, Bastian thinks Atreyu can see him
|
|
|
G'Mork comes leaping through a window in the attic where Bastian is reading
|
|
|
He hears Falcor calling his name
|
|
19.
|
When Atreyu finally arrives at the Southern Oracle, they're sadly reused Sphinxes props and they don't use rhyme like in the novel. Still, they do know how to save The Childlike Empress. How?
|
|
|
A potion from Urgl should do the trick
|
|
|
Slay the witch that made her sick
|
|
|
By a human child, she must be given a new name
|
|
|
Another Empress must be found who looks exactly the same
|
|
20.
|
While Atreyu and Falkor are flying around Fantasia looking for its boarders in another stirring montage, I'd like to take a minute and ask if you know the name of the group Llamal was lead singer of? (As you know, he was the guy who sang the theme song, and the band had a hit with "Too Shy.")
|

For a bit more challenging of a question: name the composer of The Neverending Story's theme:
|
|
|
Flood
|
|
|
Giorgio Moroder
|
|
|
Sascha Konietzko
|
|
|
Hanz Zimmer
|
|

|
Alright, enough music, back to the action! The Nothing has grown stronger and flings Atreyu from his luck dragon causing him to lose Auryn. Washing up on the shoreline, the first creature he comes across is Rockbiter. What's his deal?
|
|
|
He's gorged himself on too many limestones
|
|
|
He ran over the Racing Snail
|
|
|
He's sad his hands weren't good and strong enough to hold on to his friends
|
|
|
He met a girl Rockbiter
|
|
23.
|
What is the last thing Atreyu does before Fantasia is ripped to pieces by The Nothing?
|
|
|
Apologizes to Engywook for stealing his compass
|
|
|
Challenges and stabs G'Mork to death
|
|
|
Tells The Childlike Empress he loves her
|
|
|
Asks Rockbiter for a ride on his rock cycle
|
|
24.
|
When Bastian is finally really drawn into Fantasia, it's to give The Childlike Empress her new name. The name he screams out is Moonchild. (You're welcome.) But what's the significance of this name?
|
|
|
It was his mother's name
|
|
|
It was his grandmother's name
|
|
|
It was his sister's name
|
|
|
It was his first crush's name
|
|
25.
|
Bastian has to wish for Fantasia to be restored and to get a chance to ride Falkor in order to get back at the bullies in the real world. But the question is what does The Childlike Empress ask him to wish upon?
|
|
|
A star
|
|
|
Auryn
|
|
|
Atreyu's grave.
|
|
|
A single grain of sand.
