The nighthob says a profanity in the opening scene where the rockbiter appears running down all in its path. This profanity is often dubbed over by the grumble of the rockbiter's scooter, so that it can be shown as a children's film.
The film was shot in Germany in the summer of 1983. It was Germany's hottest summer in 25 years.
The original Auryn for this film now hangs in an enclosed glass display in Stephen Spielberg's office.
Was the most expensive film ever produced in Germany at the time it was made.
Noah Hathaway was hurt twice 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.
"The Childlike Empress" wasn't just child-"like". She was portrayed by Iranian born dancer Tami Stronach who was only 11 years old when the production started.
The film itself actually "ends" about halfway through the book.
The name of the mystical land in the original novel was Fantastica, not Fantasia, but the original German name Phantásien translates more accurately into English as Fantasia.
The theme song was sang by Limahl, who was the second half of the pop duo Kajagoogoo.
The makeup team on the movie tried to paint Noah Hathaway green, just as Atreyu is in the book. "It wasn't believeable. I looked like fungi!" Hathaway said.
