Artax, noooooooo!

So I got on FB to pass some time and I saw this.

Without reading the caption/article title I got really sad.  Do you know why?!?!  Come on!!! Any child of the 80's should have had the SAME reaction!!!!

I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Artax, don't succumb to the sadness!!!!!" That is one of the worst scenes in a kids movie!!! I cried then and I still cry now!  Then I looked closer at the pic and said "wait...that's not Atreyu...", hold up "Isn't Artax white...???" 

Soooooooooooo NOT the scene from The Never Ending Story when Artax "dies" in the Swamps of Sadness, whew.  Wait, what happened here then...?  I'm not reading the story because I fear sobbing into my sleeve.  Plus the site name looks sketch...shareably.net, no thanks.
