Revealing mistake: Right after Atreyu discovers that Xayide is stealing Bastian's memories we see Atreyu and Falcor sitting on a cliff with an entire landscape in the background.

The camping scene has been shot earlier and is now placed on a fake background, and someone is adjusting the picture. (01:00:15)
