Bastian is a young boy who lives a dreary life being tormented by school bullies. On one such occasion he escapes into a book shop where the old proprieter reveals an ancient story-book to him, which he is warned can be dangerous. Shortly after, he "borrows" the book and begins to read it in the school attic where he is drawn into the mythical land of Fantasia, which desperately needs a hero to save it from destruction.
A brooding bookworm ditches school to hide in an attic and read himself into a magical depression spiral, while no responsible adult in his life bothers to notice he’s been missing all day. The acting treats everyone like they’re 7, but the story suddenly asks big questions about whether the kid is part of the story he’s reading — and then has him name the princess after his dead mom. A strange mix of kiddie fluff and heavy feelings sinks this movie into the muck like a horse in the Swamp of Sadness. But that title track? And riding Falcor at the end? "YEAH!!!!"
