During filming in Germany one of the days was so hot that it actually melted the statue that was the Ivory Tower. On other days the stars of the films had no work to do because the blue background would not work.Thanks to Max Gardner
Atreyu (played by Noah Hathaway) was originally supposed to have green skin, like in the original story, but somehow it didn't work out. Noah said that it made him look like fungi!Thanks to Sam
Noah Hathaway (Atreyu) had to spend months in England learning to ride a horse bareback for the movie.Thanks to Sarah Roberts
Noah Hathaway was hurt during the making of the movie. During his horse riding training he was thrown off a horse which then stepped on him.Thanks to Mel
In the Swamps of Sadness, Noah Hathaway "Atreyu" was supposed to have started drowning, but in real life he was pulled under by the same thing the horse was! When they finally got him up he was unconscious!Thanks to Steve Wood
Clearly only some of the scenes have been dubbed from German. Particularly noticable are the night hob / rockbiter scenes. These actors are credited with very german names. I find it extraordinarily unlikely that American actors, Barret and Noah spoke german to be later dubbed to English.Next Section: Deleted Scenes
