I don't know about anyone else, but the first thing that comes to mind for me about this movie is Hoyts Cinema Sydney. It's one of that handful of movies that dates from the two years I lived in Sydney as a kid.

I don't think the horse scene really affected me, but then the death of Optimus Prime didn't either (and that's another movie from that time, also Hoyts Sydney).

I think it was an over-all combination of the visuals, the fantasy plot, and that song that makes the movie a fond memory, but it is a fond memory that doesn't fully stand up when looked at through a modern eye, simply on a basis of dated special effects, and that when the crappy sequel came out it meant that I bought a copy of the book and that book was ten times better than the movie and could see retrospectively where they simply couldn't do what the book had.

I actually think "The Last Unicorn" had more effect on me that "The Neverending Story" though. TLU was also one of my earliest VHS hires too.
