* The Italian ComicBook/DisneyMouseAndDuckComics spoofed the movie with ''La storia (in)finita'' (''The (Never)ending Story''), with Disney characters in the main roles, most notably Donald Duck in Bastian's role and Mickey Mouse in Atreyu's, with Dumbo standing in for Falkor, Maleficent taking the role of G'mork, and Daisy as the Empress. As the title hints, this story ''does'' end because Donald is too lazy to think of a continuation. And it was AllJustADream anyway.
