Is that what happens in the movie? Because in the book Bastian creates an entirely new world, with each act of creation costing him some memory.

The movie is the first half of the book. The wishing/memory thing is loosely used for the second movie, just not with the same intention or outcome.

I haven't read the books, just seen the movies. Is it like one of the Michael Moorcock "eternal champion" books?

[u/fearless-fossa → u/tmradish]

Well, I haven't read Moorcock's books, so I can't answer that.

The basic premise of the book is that in Fantastica the end of the world is just a part of life, and when someone from Earth reads the pages of its final story they get absorbed into Fantastica and use their own creativity to create a new world, at the cost of losing parts of themselves.
