The Swamp Of Sadness

I want to conduct a little experiment. Watch the following scene and tell me if you remember it happening in the movie "The Never Ending Story." When I first watched it last week, I didn't remember it happening even though I had seen the movie as a kid probably a hundred times. I have already talked to two other people and they didn't remember the scene either and a number of the comments on the forum that it was posted on suggested that they didn't remember it as well. So I am curious, was this scene so sad that we blocked it from our memory somehow? It isn't an uncommon phenomena but I am feeling experimentive.
