Never ending story the horse is with the kid through thick and thin then gets stuck in a swamp and kid has to leave him behind.
Small clarification, he gets stuck in the swamp of despair basically. He only gets stuck and dies because he loses hope. Atreyu tries to cheer him up and give him hope, and it's that scene that's depressing AF. It's like something out of old yeller.
