* The fight between Bastian and Atreyu at the Battle for the Ivory Tower.

!!The films

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d76f9382088447f2801d320b77668705.jpg]]

* The Ivory Tower is pretty much this all by itself; the accompanying music just adds to its majesty.
* Falcor making his big entrance by rescuing Atreyu just as he's about to sink ''and'' has G'mork almost literally at his heel.
* Atreyu's bravery when faced with the Great Stone Gateway. He's just seen a knight get vaporized trying to make it through. As he considers what to do, there's a long close-up on his face, as we see his fear slowly change to determination. And then... "I'm going to try it."
** Also, Bastian shouting encouragement. "''Be confident, Atreyu! BE CONFIDENT!''"
* Atreyu's ride on Falcor. Fantasia never looks more majestic than it does from Falcor's back.
* Atreyu killing G'mork. "If we're about to die anyway, I'd rather die ''fighting!'' Come for me, G'mork! ''I am Atreyu!"''
** "I will not die easily. I am a warrior."
* The absolutely mind-bending moment for any kids watching when the Childlike Empress tells Atreyu that not only has someone been watching his adventures this whole time, referring to Bastian, but other people have been watching ''him'', while looking directly at us.
* Bastian calling out the new name for the Childlike Empress.
* The look on Bastian's face when the Empress convinces him to make his first wish. He thinks for a moment... and then he looks up with this badass smile that tells you ''exactly'' what he has in mind and he follows up by shouting "YEAAAAAAAAHH!" as he is seen flying on Falcor.
** Bastian's ''second'' wish: giving the bullies their comeuppance with Falcor's help.

** Bastian's ''second'' wish: giving the bullies their comeuppance with Falcor's help.
* The second film may be cheesy, but Bastian's defeat of Xayide is still awesome. "I wish you had a ''[[EvilCannotComprehendGood heart]]."''

--> NBC would use the Ivory Tower music during their baseball broadcasts for the rest of the decade.
