“Labyrinth’s” storyline was at least inspired by Maurice Sendak’s picture book “Outside Over There.” Contention was formed between Sendak and Henson for the striking similarities between the plots. Apparently, Sendak complained of this for years after the film was released. Note the off-handed mention of Sendak in “Labyrinth’s” credits.

"The Princess Bride" was scripted by William Goldman, based on his 1973 novel written under the pseudonym "S. Morgenstern."

10 out of 10. The NeverEnding Story was a favorite movie of mine as a child, and is now a favorite book of mine as an adult (I have a copy, excellent read).

Dumb: if it's Lucas/Spielberg or Henson, it was original, pretty much follow that formula and it's 10/10. And they forgot the congratulatory silliness to boot.
