The Neverending Story

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.

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When Atreyu is holding on to the tree as the Nothing attacks, you can see a string on his leg right before he yells out "Falcor!"

Revealing mistake: When Atreyu is talking to Morla, Morla keeps sneezing which keeps throwing Atreyu off the tree, but in one shot, right before Atreyu falls off, apparently it's his stunt double.

Audio problem: When Nighthob and Teeny are talking to the Rockbiter near the beginning of the film, Teeny says to Nighthob "This could be serious", then turns to Rockbiter and calls out his name. Watch Teeny's mouth as he calls out "Rockbiter". You will see a very blatant editing mistake as Teeny is not actually saying 'Rockbiter", but is saying the next line that follows. (00:16:40)

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.
