The Neverending Story: The Animated Adventures of Bastian Balthazar Bux is an animated television series, produced by CineVox (Germany), Ellipse (France), and Nelvana (Canada), aired for one season (1995–1996) on HBO, ran for 26 episodes, and loosely based on Michael Ende's book, The Neverending Story (1979).

In the animated series, the Nothing is a recurring villain and in said show, it is a hole with evil red eyes, all which were belonged to that of a white wolf. The evil sorceress Xayide, unlike in the first sequel film, wears green robes with an eyemask with yellow slits. In said film, she doesn't wear a mask covering her face of any kind, but her face is created by a special magical cream. The Rockbiter, as always in the latter two sequel films (including the third film), actually has a wife as well as his son, Junior, in this series. In 2005, the first three episodes were eventually released on DVD in a compilation entitled "Bastian Saves the Day".
