Reviews

"An expensive adventure and fantasy film that is basically based on the second half of Michael Ende's successful novel of the same name." (Lexikon d. int. Films)

"The film has many passages that contain more Phantasia than was the case in the first part. And even though the plot in the second part deviates more from the book, the essence of the story is better expressed. It is about stimulating people's capacity for imagination. For I am convinced that this will be a matter of survival in our century." (Michael Ende)

"A generously equipped fantasy film about little Bastian, who, with the power of courage, saves the fantasy kingdom from emptiness." (Heyne Filmjahrbuch)
