“The Horse Didn’t Die” ITF Watch: The NeverEnding Story (1984 film)

Wolfgang Peterson traumatized scores of children with his harrowing depiction of Atreyu losing his horse Artax in the Swamp of Sadness, but is there any truth to the urban legend about the real-life horse dying in the scene? No, but there is a lot you might not know about what went into that iconic moment, which included a dangerous close call to actor Noah Hathaway. In episode 192, Luke & James relive their childhood with this important 80s fantasy gem and try to recapture the magic. Finally, is this adaptation superior to Michael Ende’s original novel? They cast their votes to decide! ·    Become a Patron for hours of exclusive content & more: www.patreon.com/inktofilm
