Michael Ende(1929-1995)

Ende's book "The NeverEnding Story" inspired the name of three different music bands: the American Metalcore Atreyu (Childlike Empress' medallion), and two Spanish; the boyband Pop Auryn (Greenskin child and hunter from the Grassy Ocean) and the indie Rock Vetusta Morla (Morla the giant Turtle).

[on A História Sem Fim (1984), based on his 1979 novel] That revolting movie...a gigantic melodrama of kitsch, commerce, plush and plastic... The makers of the film simply did not understand the book at all. They just wanted to make money.
