Synopsis

Small Bastian is nobody's idea of a hero; but in an ancient, mysterious book, he discovers an enchanted world only he can save. It begins as a "will-o'-the-wisp" goes to ask the Childlike Empress for help against the Nothing, which is spreading all over. The Empress is ill, which may be the cause of the Nothing. She then reveals that the only thing that can save Fantastica is a human child, who must give her a new name to restart the cycle of life. Thus, Bastian re-names the Empress 'Moon Child'; and helps re-build Fantastica with his imagination. Description in Spanish: El Reino de la Fantasia esta en un serio peligro: pronto va a desaparecer sin que sus habitantes puedan evitarlo. Solo hay un ser que podria ayudarles. Un nino llamado Bastian. Un nino que habita al otro lado, en la realidad. Lanzandose a una mravillosa aventura que cambiara para siempre su vida y la de sus peculiares companeros de fatigas -el valiente guerrero Atreyu y un dragon de la suerte volador-, Bastian y todo aquel que quiera acompanarle comprenderan que el destino de todos los seres esta unido y que si fantasia se extingue con ella se ira toda la inocencia del mundo, todas las esperanzas, suenos e ilusiones.
