You know the little person/dwarf from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that plays the Oompa Loompa? He plays Teeny Weeny, the rider of the racing snail, in The Neverending Story! And I think they dubbed over his voice! Fascists.
Did anyone else have the hots for the Childlike Empress when they were a kid? I mean, what wasn't there to like about her? Pretty? Check. Endowed with magical powers? Check. Digs boys who like to read? Check. She was the all-around dream girl for 8-12 year-old nerds everywhere, which was clearly the movie's target demographic. Ever wonder what became of her? Apparently she's a dancer/choreographer now, so even though she may not be endowed with magical powers or have the hots for 8-12 year-olds who read anymore, she's probably still very bendy.
Great - now I have "neverending sssssttttooooorrrrrrryyyyyyyy - ah ah ah ah ah ah" in my head ... I can't believe that 20 years later I can still remember that song!
I'm with you there, Hill-wee. I can't count the number of times I've had that song stuck in my head in the shower. Can you remember any of the other lyrics? I vaguely remember the line "Turn around, tell me what you seeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEe...." That's about it, though.
