• Atreyu sleeps near the stream. Artax pushes his head under Atreyu, pulls out a piece of sugar and eats it. It is better visible in letterbox version (PRO7), in full-screen one it take a few frames only, so you may need a good VCR to single-frame the movie. After Atreyu sits, Artax eats all the remaining sugar.

• There is a full-face image of the stuntman Bobby Porter just before he falls from the tree. This is the scene in which Atreyu is speaking with Morla, the Ancient One.

• Gnomics cave, near before Atreyu drinks his cure. Watch carefully the quantity of vapour above Atreyu's cure during his talking with the gnome. It's vary, it looks the talking was made in unusual order.

• Watch the bottom of the asteroid flying by. Its support pole apparently gets in the way as the asteroid rotates and ends up "masking" a vertical section of the asteroid. Looks like the effects department goofed up this time.

• Atreyu is washed up on a beach, face up. He raises his head, looks around, then stands up. During this movement, there is a cut from a tight to a wide shot. In the tight shot, Atreyu's chest is covered with sand. In the wide shot his chest is clean.

• Atreyu has just left Rockbiter. We see him (from above) walking towards that building on top of the hill. All around him there are the remains of the devastated city. On his right there are some rocks strewn about. Suddenly the ground opens up. The camera switches to a ground-level shot. On his right there is now a "wall" of rocks (extending way up into the air). The camera now switches back to an aerial shot. The wall is gone and the "strewn about" rocks are back. Looks like the matte painters and set designers didn't agree on this one.

• The people who were hired to make Falkor the Luckdragon look like he was speaking really should have done their work properly. The finished project looks like a lot of very bad dubbing. Falkor is constantly 'speaking' with his mouth closed! - Glorianne Brentleigh

• When we first see Atreyu for the first time, he is at the Ivory Tower and lots of people are there including the little man with the dirty face and rotten teeth. Atreyu asks the people why he was sent for. The people laugh at this and the little man turns around and asks a question about Atreyu's mental health. Only problem is: he doesn't have anyone to talk to. - Sarah

• Atreyu and the scientist gnome are observing the gate guarded by the two stone sphinxes. The gnome explains to Atreyu that if a person comes along who tries to enter the gate and the sphinxes find them to be 'not worthy' the sphinxes would kill them. We then see the sphinxes do this with their laser beam eyes to a poor unfortunate person. But when they do this, you can see that what falls to the ground is an empty suit of armour, no person in it at all. - Stacey
