The NeverEnding Story III

The NeverEnding Story III: Escape from Fantasia (German: Die unendliche Geschichte III – Rettung aus Phantásien), also known as The NeverEnding Story III: Return to Fantasia, is a 1994 fantasy-adventure film directed by Peter MacDonald. It is the third and final film in the franchise. It stars Jason James Richter as Bastian Balthazar Bux, and Jack Black in an early role as school bully Slip. This film primarily used the characters from Michael Ende's novel The Neverending Story (1979), with the exception of Atreyu, who is absent from the film, and introduced a new storyline. It was an international co-production between the United States and Germany. It was a critical and commercial failure. The special creature effects were provided by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
