The Never Ricking Morty
Growing up, some one you must’ve read The Neverending Story, Momo and other classics by the German author Michael Ende. Even if you’re familiar with Ende’s work, you might’ve missed the Rick and Morty reference to the 1984 children’s fantasy film The Neverending Story (based on the 1979 book of the same name).
Season 4, episode 6 is titled “Never Ricking Morty” – an obvious reference of the film. But wait, it goes deeper than that. The episode shared a prominent theme with the film – the fusion of reality and imagination (although that can be said about several episodes), and of course, the episode opens on the Story Train, which is a nod to The Neverending Story.
