When he was alive, many left-leaning critics criticized him for writing escapist and unpolitical novels, which was completely missing the point and utterly inaccurate. ''Jim Button'', for example, contains many, many [[PuttingOnTheReich hidden metaphors for fascism]] in general and the [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Third Reich]] in particular.) [[note]] There was even a volley TakeThat by German indie band Tocotronic, calling one of their songs "Michael Ende, Du Hast Mein Leben Zerstört" - "Michael Ende, You Ruined My Life" [[/note]] This also had a curious effect in that the other side of the spectrum would accuse him of being ''too'' political!
