I knew they would not be able to make it into a decent film so decided never to watch it. However, my nephew came to visit and they brought the video for him (yes, I'm THAT old, LOL), so we watched it. It was even worse than I imagined. I wrote about it in my blogpost <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/can-movie-ever-be-better-than-book.html" rel="nofollow">Can a movie ever be better than the book?</a> and still declare it the worst adaptation ever.<br /><br />I loved your review.

And then there was the alphabet thing happening at the beginning of each chapter...<br /><br />I loved some of the names of places like the Swamp of Sadness.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-5672604287055943272018-07-18T10:21:25.518+10:002018-07-18T10:21:25.518+10:00I love both the book and the movie :) but I did no...I love both the book and the movie :) but I did not realize about Ende's youth!
