What was this?

I am a fan of The Neverending Story the book. This movie did not live up to my expectations at all (when I saw it again recently)

The movie covers part of the book's story, with Bastian meeting Xayide. Although part of it is followed closely, Nimbly did NOT work for Xayide, there was no Memory ball thing (AURYN made Bastian lose his memories on its own) and the end was a cheesy replacement for the Fountain of Life.

In the original story, there was much more substance.

And the thing that annoys me most: If Bastian met the Childlike Empress in the last movie, why did she appear to him in this one? If they had only researched the story better, they would have discovered that you can only meet the Empress ONCE. No matter how many times you meet her, she wil have no memory of you ever meeting her previously.

Trivia
It is not known who played the Rock Biter in the movie and the actor is not credited in the end credits and to this day the actor's identity remains a mystery.

Goofs
When Bastian stands in front of the monster spraying it in the face with a spray can, you see Bastian stretching as far as he can, but he still can't reach any further up than the monster's chest. In the next shot, Bastian's hand is in the monster's face.

Quotes
Bastian Bux: Atreyu, get real.
Atreyu: But I am real. What do you mean by "getting real?"
Bastian Bux: Nothing. It's a joke.
Atreyu: Being real is a joke in your world?
