Line 3:

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Between the time loop, everything we learn in The City of Old Emperors, and finding out that she'd drawn Bastian into a world that it became more and more impossible for him to escape from even if he was ''frugal'' with his wishes and didn't lose his mind without a single warning, it's not too difficult to read The Childlike Empress as the villain of the story.
Line 15:
* [[Woolseyism]]: The dragon's name was ''Fuchur'' in the original German book. Apparently they changed it because it sounds like ''future'' in English. Or, if pronounced a certain way, an obscenity.
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: The great threat in the third film is "the Nasty". Yes, really.
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: In the English-speaking world, the first movie is far better-known than the book.
* [[Badass Decay]]: The Old Man of Wandering Mountain.

* [[What the Hell, Casting Agency?]]: The third film's villain, that's Jack Black.
** Julie Cox, who played the Childlike Empress in the same film, is an example of both this and [[Dawson Casting]], considering that she was 19 during filming and a good four or five inches taller than Jason James Richter, who played Bastian. In fact, Cox is only slightly younger in real-life than Tami Stronach, the Childlike Empress from the first
