The Neverending Story

Trivia: Atreyu's character was originally supposed to be green-skinned, as it was in the book. However, it didn't look too believable on film, and thus the green skin was scrapped.

Trivia: The late author of the original story, Michael Ende, strongly protested the movie when it was presented to him.

Trivia: Nighthob actually says a swear word by accident as the Rockbiter is approaching him and Teeny in the first Fantasia scene.

Mistakes

Revealing mistake: Watch very closely when the horse is waking up Atreyu. It seems to be searching for something behind Atreyu and then you see a sugar cube fall out from behind him.

Questions

Question: What is the meaning of the rock paintings that Atreyu finds, that seem to sum up all his adventures? (This is right before the fight with that black wolf-creature.)

Answer: The meaning is basically all his adventures have been fortold and recorded, kind of like as if they were part of a book.
