    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Thomas Hill is the only actor to reprise his role, as Koreander the bookkeeper, from the original movie. The child actors had to be recast as they had visibly gotten older in the 6 year gap between the films, and they no longer looked the same age.
    • Goofs
      In this movie, Bastian has a fear of heights which includes him having to dive off a 20-foot diving board, but in the first movie, Bastian is flying on Falkor's back miles up in the clouds.
    • Quotes
      • Bastian Bux: Atreyu, get real.
      • Atreyu: But I am real. What do you mean by "getting real?"
      • Bastian Bux: Nothing. It's a joke.
      • Atreyu: Being real is a joke in your world?
    • 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.
    • Alternate versions
      The opening Warner Bros. Pictures logo in the Blu-ray is plastered with the 2003 variant.
    • Connections
      Featured in The Movie Game: Episode #5.3 (1992)
