'The NeverEnding Story' captured the imagination of children and adults alike in 1984 with its tale of a young boy who reads a magical book and becomes an active participant in the fate of a land called Fantasia. It's been almost 30 years since the film's release, so we thought we'd catch up with the stars and see what they've been up to since they left Fantasia.
In 1985, Ridley Scott released his dark fantasy film 'Legend,' inspired by classic fairy tales and starring young up-and-coming actors like Tom Cruise and Mia Sara in the lead roles. Now that almost 30 years have passed, we thought it would be fun to check in and see what the cast of the film has been up to.
Tim Burton's 1992 film 'Batman Returns' was everything we love about Tim Burton and Batman all rolled into one amazing package. The film had an all-star cast including Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito. Over 20 years later, it still holds up as one of the strangest and most visually stunning of the 'Batman' films. Let's take a look at where the stars of 'Batman Returns' are now.
In the '80s comedy classic 'Weekend at Bernie's,' two insurance company employees discover their boss is dead, and in order to save their own butts from being killed by a hitman, they pretend the old guy is still alive. Shenanigans ensue, of course.
24 years later, the 'Weekend at Bernie's' movies persist in pop culture thanks to real life copycats and Bernie's voodoo dance from the sequel going viral. Let's take a look at what the cast has been up to since then.
1991's 'L.A. Story' was a labor of love for Steve Martin -- in addition to starring in the whimsical romantic comedy, he also wrote the hilarious script.
Mixing surreal gags with romantic misunderstandings, Martin's sun-dappled update of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is a gentle satire of its titular city and all the movers and shakers who live within its temperate confines. It was also a vehicle for a lot of fun cameos.

The 2002 road movie 'Crossroads' was meant to be Britney Spears' golden ticket to big screen fame. It didn't quite work out that way. But over the years the film has earned a fan following for its cheesy plot, frequent musical performances and cast of up-and-coming young stars.
See what the cast of 'Crossroads' looks like today below.
In the Brat Pack classic 'Pretty in Pink' a girl from the wrong side of the tracks (Molly Ringwald) has to chose between the rich but good-hearted Blane (Andrew McCarthy) or her geeky long-time buddy Duckie (Jon Cryer). It's a bonafide 80s classic. See what the cast of 'Pretty in Pink' is up to 27 years after one of their biggest movies hit theaters.
In 1996, the beloved Roald Dahl children's novel 'Matilda' was adapted into a movie directed by Danny DeVito. The film starred Mara Wilson, one of biggest child stars of the '90s, and quickly became a cult classic. (The underdog tale is now also a Broadway musical.) Check out what the cast of 'Matilda' are up to these days below.
'Labyrinth' was a bit of a flop when it was released in 1986. But the Jim Henson-directed fantasy film has had a second life, thanks to VHS, DVD and Blu-ray, and has become a cult classic among kids old enough not to be afraid of goblins.
As testament to its belated success, primary human stars David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly have both commented on how often they are still recognized by children for their roles in the film.
See what the cast -- and the puppeteers behind 'Labyrinth's' wondrous creatures -- are up to these days.
Director Baz Luhrmann's splashy modernization of the William Shakespeare classic 'Romeo and Juliet' was a hit with critics and tweens alike in 1996.
Besides being visually stunning, 'William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet' featured a few of today's brightest stars before they had hit it big. See what the cast is up to these days below.
