Revealing mistake: When Tri Face switches his face we see that the scene is suddenly cut from a doll to a human as his collar changes during the shot. (00:14:15)
Revealing mistake: When one of the monsters shoots out of the floor, it comes through what seems to be a square plate covering the hole under it. It is visible because the plate gets pushed up and we can see the edges of it. (00:18:25)
Revealing mistake: Every time there is a wide shot of the dragon flying it never flaps its wings. But when there is a close up, it is flapping its wings. (00:28:10)
Revealing mistake: When the dragon is flying by the castle, the castle is shooting a laser at it as it flies by. Then the dragon explodes just as it flies out of camera angle. However it is that the explosion comes from the ground down by the edge of the castle, and not in the air where the dragon is flying. (00:28:40)

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. It is easy to see the whole thing is fake, cause the camping place which they sit on shimmer and moves. The camping scene has been shot earlier and is now placed on a fake background, and someone is adjusting the picture. (01:00:15)

Revealing mistake: When Bastian dives, you can actually see that it is a grown up stunt double. (01:18:20)
