The so-big limitations in FX and CGI at the time of the filming avoided to make a more accurate adaptation of the novel: on the book Atreyu is member of a race named Greenskin after their skin has a green olive color, that to the touch it resembles grass. In the book, The Southern Oracle is a living voice carried by the air, being the only way to talk with it rhyming, while in the movie is a blue-colored replica of the two golden sphinxes at the entrance, and in the book, Nothing is a void without a form, not dark or bright, giving the sensation to be completely blind to anyone who tries to see it, while in the movie it resembles outer space with stars at the distance. Another elements were left out of the movie by limitations of time, as the travel of Childlike Empress looking for the Old Man of the Wandering Mountain, of some scenes relatives to Gmörk. In the same way the movie drops the second half of the novel (the movie only covers the first half), where Bastian (turned in inhabitant of a renovated Fantastica) arrives to Goab the Desert of Colors which exists in a state of symbiosis with Perilin the Night Forest (Goab exists at day and Perilin at night, preventing each other that it invade all Fantastica because both Goab and Perilin have a non-stop growth); silver boat-city of Amarganth, which was built by a pitiful creatures named the Acharis creating with their tears lake Murhu of corrosive waters that destroy all but silver, all relative to witch Xayide (used as main villain in La storia infinita 2 (1990)), the evilest and most powerful sorceress in Fantastica who turns in Bastian's assistant and companion in his searching for Ivory Tower. Bastian previous companions as Four Heroes Hynreck, Hykrion, Hysbald and Hydorn, as well as Hynreck's love interest by whimsical Princess Oglamar, Bastian's arrival to Ivory Tower and his attempt to be Fantastica's emperor, forcing Atreyu to promote a war to prevent it and defeating him, making Bastian to escape alone, his arrival to House of Change, a living house in the middle of a forest inhabited by a humanoid-plant named Dame Eyola, the ruinous City of Old Emperors, set in a crater which inhabitants are human beings that time ago too they did put a new name to Childlike Empress but, unable for returning to the real world, lost all their memory and they went to the city for living as immortal mindless ones, not having speech nor common sense, and cared by the only one steward of the city, talking-monkey Argax, his later arrival to Yskal, a town close to Skaidan the Sea Mist, an enormous and deep ocean of fog that divides Fantastica in two, the snow-covered plain and underground picture mine of Minroud, Fantastica's basement caved by Yor the Blind Miner, and formed by human lost dreams in chrysalis, kept forever after Minroud lives an eternal winter to prevent the chrysalis melt, Waters of Life, Auryn's interior where there is a fountain and two great snake-shaped portals (one black and one white), that they are the frontier between Fantastica and human world, and Bastian's farewell from Fantastica for back to the real world and ultimate meeting with bookcase Karl Koreander.
