Trivia
Out of the three Neverending Story films, this one doesn't feature the two gnomes Engywook and Urgl.
Share this
Bastian made 33 counted wishes total, and that counts for wishes within a wish, and each individual step along the side of the hand-shape castle.
Share this
Just as the original NeverEnding Story covered the first half of the actual book, this movie covered most of the second half. The book differs from the movie in many ways. For instance, in the book, Bastian's father never reads the NeverEnding Story, and Bastian "reads" the entire book in one sitting.

Goofs
When the Rockbiter eats the rock Junior gave him, it breaks and has glass shattering with dust pouring out.
Share this
Junior is noticeably smaller when the Rockbiter is holding him in his arms than when he was first introduced.
Share this
When Nimbly lands on the ship, the wires that is holding him are visible.
