🔮 FANTASY SATURDAY MORNING MOVIE 🔮Morning Folks! The fun continues with The NeverEnding Story! Now, I say fun, but honestly this movie was super dark... the story hits on so many deep issues, but the one that stands out to me the most was "The Nothingness". It gets really intense, so it's hard to believe it's a kids movie, but I also thought that was really great... because kids totally deal with huge feelings like that, just like adults. So having a story like this to help navigate those feelings and find hope is really powerful ❤️❤️❤️

The Swamps of Sadness scene traumatized myself and an entire generation of kids in 1984.

Darian Harman

As terrible as it is of me to say, I miss the days in which filmmakers understood the importance of traumatizing children. The Land Before Time, All Dogs go to Heaven, The Iron Giant, The Neverending Story. These are all formative experiences for me, and I cherish them greatly.

The Dingo

I don't remember the last time I saw this. It may be time for a rewatch with you guys

Eddy

I've been hoping for someone to see that movie!!

Eddy

If you want more puppets you guys can watch The Dark Crystal. If you want to see more from the kid who plays Bastian (Barret Oliver) you can watch D.A.R.Y.L.

Eddy

I grew up in the 80's, and watching that scene gets me every time.

In my head canon, Falkor came back later by himself and ate the bullies.

Yep, you are 1000% correct. How many kids did this scar when they saw it? All of us..all of us. I think this may have been made for the 11-18 yr old audience given the subject matter. I love how they don't pull punches. Depression, giving up, sadness can make you feel like your drowning, feelings of not being someone who can make a difference as a child/teen. Also the gnome witch Urgl is the same actress as Fin Raziel the good witch from Willow. Great video!

You’re so right. While heavy themes for sure, it’s exposure to such themes that allow for development of the tools to handle them.

Ian Forbes

As others have said so well, “kids” films used to tackle heavy subject matter in an approachable manner and I have found it sad that so few films like these have been made on the past 25 years. Having been watching K-POP Demon Hunters on a loop these past few weeks, for me it’s one of the best “kids” films that gets past the surface level of “believe in yourself” in a long, long time and why it resonates with me so much (the music is also awesome of course). Maybe a reaction to that could be on the list someday? 🙏🙂 Looking forward to whatever comes next!

Darian Harman

I completely agree. I would even go as far as to say that witnessing what stark human suffering looks like can really strengthen the empathy of young minds and hearts. With Atreyu, I was absolutely inconsolable. In. Con. Solable! I was sad about Artax, of course, but it was Atreyu's loss that really resonated with my little brain. I had no concept of what it was like to lose someone, I just knew that I really cared about Atreyu and I wanted to be there for him.

Darian Harman

Welp, just re-watched the movie with you guys. I'm crying and I'm going to bed.

The externals were, indeed, filmed in 80s Vancouver.

I love this movie. I see lots of folks from my demographic (closing on 50) crap on it now, but I think it holds up well. Falcor is the weakest part but he is still kinda rad. I am biased since I grew up in this era but to me this is the bare minimum of what a kids movie should be. Children are more perceptive and resilient than people give them credit for. It has dark, and mature themes but framed in a digestible way. I think Henson did it better in films like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal but I have a very warm place in my heart for this quirky-ass film and other movies like "The Secret of NIMH" and other lesser recognized films that were lowkey horror films at times. Something else to take into account is that the parents of us 80s kids were the children of the scarcity obsessed, Great Depression Era parents. Our parents were the issue of the actual baby boomers. and in my case people trying to make their way through the civil rights movement, while starting families and shit. They were entirely unconcerned with what I was watching as long it wasn't too violent or too sexualized. Contrary to popular culture not everyone was hippy types, most were working class folks who birthed the whole latchkey kid era, where TV was like a 3rd parent, and we often felt like we were raising outselves. I grew up on movies and TV, public television, and had day care for most of my formative years because my parents were working. Movies like this were a refuge, especially if you had a whiff of nerdish curiosity on you because that was usually something that bullied out of you. at least for boys in my area.

James W.

I never see reactions to stuff like D.A.R.Y.L but it was a cool little movie back in the day. I watched Wargames, D.A.R.Y.L and Cloak and Dagger an unhealthy number of times when I was a kid. Either on TV or when VHS rentals came to my area. I miss going to the video store and looking at the seemingly endless walls of movies.

2026-10-26 11:00 Yeah I think as others have mentioned the 1980s family films were often a bit darker as kind of old school parables for life. In fact (as I have recently heard) Steven Spielberg helped get the PG-13 rating created in the USA as a lot of 1980s films that were PG were over that line but not R rated territory. It seems the 1990s kids and family films were softened a little bit so that they could make more money.

Just went NUTS and updated my membership to the top tier, you two...🎉🙆🏻🥂😋

MaplenutsReact

Oh my GOSH! Awww thank you so so so much ❤️😍❤️

Brutally Goofy Buddha

You two are my absolute favorite couple reacting to television and movies...😋

Nathan Jasper

The 80s had guts. They told the stories they needed to tell and wasn't as worried about watering material down as they are now. The Nothingness traumatized a whole generation on the same level Jaws did a decade prior.

Nathan Jasper

Yeah I believe it stemmed from not wanting Temple of Doom to be R-rated

MaplenutsReact

It's wild how many complex and dark feelings they tackle with this movie. Absolutely didn't pull any punches haha

Hans Engelen

Same kid in the lead. Hence the suggestion.

MaplenutsReact

Yes! You're so right about how perceptive and resilient kids are... I feel like movies like this are a great way to inspire growth and learning especially when it comes to more serious themes. A lecture just won't stick the same way... Stories though, hell yeah!

MaplenutsReact

I've gotta say, the dark themes to these 80's movies are a big part of why I'm loving them so much!

Nathan Jasper

Exactly! Dad told me that he didn't like Captain America Civil War because he knew that kids would go to see their favorite superheroes and with so many kids growing up with broken families already that they didn't need to see a superhero family fighting amongst each other. But I think it's good that kids are presented with a balance of dark themes and light at the end of the tunnel type themes. They need to know that they're not alone and that there's a chance of a silver lining. It'll be dark as hell for a long time but eventually it ends

Ian Forbes

And I was so happy you both enjoyed it so much!

Ryan Towell

I know I'm about a month late for this. But one thing about a lot of 80's movies is they can take everyday life issues wrap it in a bit of fantasy and make a really great story that needs to be heard or watched. It was a great time to be a kid. It was a time when imagination went a long way. We didn't need everything written out, explained or watered down. We just went in and believed in the story and can easily put ourselves in the story. I miss this type of story telling. As for this movie. His dad is such a typical 80s dad. I love my dad and he was just like this, but he taught me a lot. Responsibilities, facing my problems, figuring out how to fix my problems. The main kid Barret Oliver starred in another fun 80s movie called D.A.R.Y.L. it was one of my favs as a kid. And yes good eye.. The city is Vancouver

MaplenutsReact

I loved this movie for the same reason! It's such a good story with great morals, without preaching or lecturing. Kids are smart, they totally don't need you to spell everything out for them!

Dennis B

ofcourse we also had that one scene in The Fox And The Hound
