I spent a really long time thinking the horse died in that scene and it ruined animals in movies for me.

This scene heavily traumatized my sister. I’m not allowed to mention the never ending story around her children

I don’t remember that part… I mean, I remember Artax drowning; I don’t remember it looping for 3 hours. 🤔

This was such a extreme experience for me. I was in second grade I think and the elementary school brought all the children to the cinema without the parents.
Here I remember crying, it was soo sad! And then when Gmork attacks Atreju I had to close my eyes.

Are the sequels worth watching?

2 is my favorite.
The only thing 3 has going for it is that Jack Black is in it as the protagonist’s real world bully.

Fun Fact: Artax can speak in the novel.

Only if you read his lines out loud.
Checkmate Artax apologists.
