Synopsis
The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter (1990) is a family fantasy directed by George T. Miller that you can watch online on iFILM. This sequel to the beloved tale, drawn from Michael Ende's novel, sends young Bastian back through the magic book and into the realm of Fantasia.
This time the threat isn't the faceless Nothing but a wicked sorceress named Xayide. Every wish Bastian makes with the amulet Auryn comes true, yet each one quietly steals a piece of his memory of home and of his father. To save Fantasia and himself, the boy has to find the courage that keeps failing him in real life. He's joined again by the warrior Atreyu, the flying luckdragon Falkor, and a giant made of stone, with Jonathan Brandis stepping in as Bastian.
The follow-up is darker and simpler than the original, but it keeps that sense of a fairy tale where every wish carries a hidden cost. It plays best for anyone who grew up on films like Labyrinth and misses the puppets and practical effects of the pre-digital era. Stream The NeverEnding Story II (1990) online on iFILM.
