2.0 out of 5 stars Tales From the Neverending Story: The Beginning 17 Dec 2002
By William A. Christmas - Published on Amazon.com
From the outset, this DVD was somewhat disappointing, despite some fantastic graphics and special effects. It appears to have been a hastily edited and heavily cut compilation of a series which was made for Canadian TV, with some disturbingly short and choppy segues from scene to scene, implying there was much extra material removed to edit this down to a film length feature. For continuity, I wish that the editors had allowed the original series to be transposed onto several DVDs and sold them as a complete set - it would have made more sense as a story, and allowed the original intent of the screenwriter and director to come through. Overall, though, it was a good try. Wait for the whole thing to be released, though - the bonus features hint at an amazing and entertaining multidisk story.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Thrilling Than The First Installment!!... 3 April 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This is the second DVD in the "Tales" series. In this fantastic volume Atreyu and Fly Girl journey to the Southern Oracle to find a cure for the Childlike Empress. He meets two odd characters that offer to "help" him get through the ominous riddle gate. Meanwhile, Xyide travels to the Ivory Tower to do away with her sister(the empress). The dying empress uses the last bit of her power to shield off Xyide's attacks and puts a protective shield around herself so that Xyide cannot harm her. Back in our world, Bastian sees his mothers ghost at night. His father, thinking that there are to many memories in their old home, decides to sell the house(with a little persuasion from a not-so-nice real estate agent, who is actualy a spy from Xyide) and move on with their lives. This volume contains some of the most exciting and dramatic moments in the entire series. This is one of the best family series I have seen in a long time. Most of these reviews are not fair and are WAY to critical. It's important to view this series with and open mind. I think all fantasy lovers will enjoy this series and for those who do not typically view fantasy movies, I think you will be pleasently surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LIKED THIS ONE, TOO! 1 Dec 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
If you're looking for blood and guts and a bunch of senseless action, this movie is not for you. This is the story of Bastian, still dealing with the death of his mother, dealing with living once more with a father who had been seprated from his mother before she died, and discovering a book his mother encouraged him to read. Other reviewers feel that this series is far below the original. Personally, I didn't care for them. They were dark, cryptic and left me wondering what the heck was going on and why. This edition answers a question my son and I both were baffled by: What name did Bastian call out to give the Child Like Empress? You'll have to watch this movie to find out. And just who was Mr. Coriander? The answer to that gave a whole new light to the story.

While the original series pretty much left out details about Bastian's mother, she is very much a part of this one (she is also responsible for The Child Like Empress' new name). Did you know she was an artist and wrote children's books? Did you know that Bastian was very much a part of that? And you thought you knew it all from the original series. There is so much more the original films didn't tell!

I happened to find both "Tales" in a sale bin at a local drugstore, and I am so glad that I did. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. The Gift also has a very interesting behind the scenes segment on the DVD that my son and I enjoyed very much.

In fact, we enjoyed them both so much that I'm going to pay full price for the 3rd chapter when it's available.
