The Neverending Story

• If you look VERY carefully during the first Ivory Tower scene when Fantasians are gathered up, the characters of: Yoda, Mickey Mouse, Chewbacca, C3PO, The Ewoks, ET and Gumby can be seen in the crowd.
• The film actually only covers the first half of the novel.
• Noah Hathaway (Atreyu) was hurt three times during the making of the movie. During his horse riding training he was thrown off a horse which then stepped on him. Then during the shooting of the drowning sequence in the "swamp of sadness" his leg got caught on the elevator and he was pulled under water. He was unconscious by the time he was brought to the surface.  Finally, he almost lost an eye during the final fight scene when one of the Gmork robot's claws poked his eye.
• Tami Stronach (The Childlike Empress) lost both front teeth shortly before filming and they made her fake teeth which caused her to lisp until she learned to compensate for them.
• In the book, Atreyu is green-skinned and when the make-up team tried to paint Noah green, it looked terrible and in the end, they opted against it.
• It was the hottest summer on record in Germany where they were filming and it was so hot that one of the statues of the Ivory Tower melted one day.
• The name of the land where the movie takes place in the movie is called Fantasia, but is called Fantastica in the book.
• Falkor is actually a 43-foot long motorized creature with 6,000 plastic scales and pink feather-fur. His head his three feet tall and long, and has a long tongue in the mouth.
