Just watched this edit with my family and we all enjoyed it very much. I thought the cuts between the international version and the German version flowed together nicely. The visual and audio edits were seamless.

Speaking to the overall narrative, I think the editorial choices of what to include from each version did improve the film overall. My favorite part was the decision to use the opening from the German cut. For me this opening provides more emotional weight to what Bastian is experiencing as well as greater insight into his relationship with his father. I also really like the German score that accompanies the beginning as well.

Overall I would definitely recommend this version. It’s beautifully done and I think the video transfer of the German cut is worth a watch just by itself. Thank you for your work in making this edit!

This is my preferred version now. I didn't notice the cuts and changes, I was just enjoying the movie. Excellent work.

A great combination of the original German cut and the US cut that I grew up with. I think that the longer edits and original music not included in the US edit often add more depth and emotional weight to the story.

Paranoid Android ties these two edits together seamlessly. Any critical feedback from me is more around personal preference than about errors in the edit itself.

This made me see one of my childhood favorite films in a new light, and I appreciate it!

Almost the definitive version of the film. Like others, I'd have preferred the international music for Artax. There's one rough audio transition at the very end of the film, and the 753MB file size is perhaps overly compressed for an HD movie (most noticeable at Gmork's first appearance), but those are minor quibbles. Otherwise, it's basically perfect! It would be nice to see a 4K HDR version one day, if the international version ever gets a 4K release.
