It seems that's the way you turn a good movie into a crappy series. Just look at The Matrix. Look at The Land Before Time and it's 18,000 sequels for chrissake. |

Oh it's definately the "Neverending Story".
Classic film 
If you don't remember the "Flying dog" as Legion put it (Falcor certainly looks more like a dog than a luck dragon doesn't he?). then how about the bloke racing a snail or the large Rock bloke?

Odd. I clicked the link and the picture loaded fine  I don't remember seeing that gate, but it still seems like I've seen it somewhere before

Like with my reply to Legion's second comment, I don't remember seeing one, but if there was, it could've been on a part we didn't get a chance to see  |

The Neverending Story. That does sound vaguely familiar. I looked up one site on google that had some screens from it, but I didn't recognize them, since, like I said, the only part I've seen of it is those two gates
I found a place where I can get it (for free, of course  ), so now I just have to wait for the download to finish and see if it is what I'm thinking of.
Thanks for the help |

Sounds to me like Atreyu passing the Spynx gates in The Neverending Story. |

The thread title's pretty much self-descriptive, but I'm trying to remember the name of a movie or TV Show that I clearly recall watching back in second grade or sometime around then.
The only part I remember about it was the main character (I'm assuming) had to get through some weird gates. The first one was two big horse-statue things (actually, they might've looked like chess pieces, but I don't play chess, so I wouldn't know ), facing each other, and of course a fair distance apart.
Every time the guy tried to go through the gate, lasers (or something similar) would shoot out towards him from the eyes of the two statues I don't remember how, but he got through them, and it showed him on the other side. Some person on a horse rode past, and waved at him  The other one I remember was all elaborate 'n stuff, green, blue and white colored if I remember right, and it talked to him, of all things. I think it asked him questions, and he had to answer them correctly to get past, but I never saw if he did or not, 'cause our teacher turned it off after that 
Those are some pretty vague hints, if you ask me, but they're literally all I remember about watching whatever it was. I'd like to find out the name of it, because ever since I remembered it a couple months ago, it's been bugging me to find out what happens  It's probably fairly old as well, since I'm positive we watched it back when I was in public school.
I'm not certain if it was a TV show or a movie, because our teacher brought it in on a video tape, so for all I know, he (or she) could've recorded it off the TV.
Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about, so if you can help, thanks |
