Used to have it taped and would rewatch it so many times. In my top three films that bring back childhood nostalgia, along with Drop Dead Fred and Who Framed Roger Rabbit
(And Pagemaster as a close fourth)
This is now the films that evoke childhood nostalgia thread

used to rent the sequels from spar. don’t remember anything but I bet they’re good
At 41 and 38, me and my wee sister can still make each other practically wet ourselves with laughter just by saying COBWEBS in a Rik Mayall voice
Always feel seen by this meme

Watching it recently with my daughter I realised what a truly boring story it is. Atreyu has no agency it’s worse than the first Harry Potter for stuff happening around the main character.
Effects are still mostly boss, though.
My daughter did not give two shits about the horse.
Yeah me neither. One of the only non Star Wars VHS we had do watched it a few times as an older teen.
And yes, I get that it’s also Bastien’s story, it’s just I’d never before realised how little there is to Atreyu’s. He just doesn’t really do anything but as a kid I never clicked on to that.
The film is only half the book or something which might explain it.
Does. Not. Exist.
Your daughter sounds like a real nasty piece of work

She takes after me. I don’t recall Artax’s death making any impact and laughed through Temple of Doom (aged 9)
