A boy who needs a friend finds a world that needs a hero in a land beyond imagination!

Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of one of the most beloved films of all time in this Limited Edition definitive set, a 5-disc journey into the depths of the wonderland world of Fantasia, based on the book by Michael Ende. On his way to school, Bastian (Barret Oliver) ducks into a bookstore to avoid bullies. Sneaking away with a book called The Neverending Story, Bastian begins reading it in the school attic. The novel is about Fantasia, a fantasy land threatened by The Nothing, a darkness that destroys everything it touches. The kingdom needs the help of a human child to survive. When Bastian reads a description of himself in the book, he begins to wonder if Fantasia is real and needs him to survive.
