The Neverending Story

Wer nach Phantasien kommt, erhält von der kindlichen Kaiserin ein Medaillon als Zeichen der unbeschränkten Macht. "Tu was du willst" lautet die Inschrift, und Bastian deutet die Worte zuerst als "Tu was dir beliebt" und gerät damit immer tiefer in den Strudel ungezügelter, vergessen-machender Phantasie. Bis er erkennt, dass das Motto auch bedeuten kann "Tu wozu es dich gerade innerlich drängt, was dein eigentlicher Wille ist". Ohne Atreju, seinen Freund, hätte er nie herausgefunden aus diesem Land ohne Grenzen: Es gibt Menschen, die können nie nach Phantasien kommen, und es gibt Menschen, die können es, aber sie bleiben für immer dort. Und dann gibt es einige, die gehen nach Phantasien und kehren wieder zurück. So wie du, Bastian. Und sie machen beide Welten gesund.
