Trivia
The colorful moth-like creature that lands on Falkor's nose is a Schlamoof, which figured prominently in the second half of the novel. They began as sad, worm-like creatures called Acharis, who were the architects of Silver City and whose tears were the source of the acid lake surrounding it. Bastian, in the novel, transformed them into Schlamoofs, who became rather clownish and anarchistic as a result. See more »Goofs
When Bastian is lying in his bed, he is looking at a picture which stands at the edge of his night table. In the next shot, the picture has moved in on the table. See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
As usual, in the opening credits, the names are written in a bigger font than the jobs and in capital letters only. However, Michael Ende's name is written next to "Based on the novel by" and "THE NEVERENDING STORY" appears where his name should be. See more »Soundtracks

There are so many things wrong with this movie its hard to pinpoint. I myself am one of the biggest Neverending Story fans around, both of the book and the 1984 film. But while that film didn't stray from the book much, this movie simply takes characters and puts them in entirely new situations.
The aesthetic complaints I have about this movie are further. Bastian and Atreyu look completely different (I know the original actors had aged), Pyorncrachzark (Rock Biter) had a child, and shots from the original film were used for horse-riding sequences. The childlike empress is older as well. She can't age! This truly is a children's film, whereas the original was a truly beautiful movie. Shortly, avoid this movie and see the original again. Wambos can jump in the Nothing.
