Distributor(s)

[edit]

The 18:07, 22 May 2017 edit reduced the distributors plainlist from Neue Constantin Film, Warner Bros. to Warner Bros. only, arguing "There is no need to specify distributors from all the different countries. The main one is the only one that should be listed."

But who is the main distributor if there are several? – Imdb.com lists 28 distributors for this movie:

As the same editor faulty regarded the movie an solely American production he might be wrong with his Warner choice. As it was a mainly German production it seems confused to mention the American partner only.

How should we deal with that? -- Großkatze (talk) 18:36, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Betty Logan brought back the former listing. So it might stay if there is no concern from others. -- Großkatze (talk) 19:04, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have fully reverted the anonymous editor's edits because they were largely suspect. The IP clearly didn't look too hard for sources because the Christine Haase book used as a source for the gross and the budget states it was produced in Munich and co-financed by German and American companies. This seems to be backed up by the Lumiere database which states is was co-produced by both German and the United States. I have also reinstated the original German budget because it was funded in Deutschmarks and the dollar figure is just a conversion. As for the distributors WP:FILMDIST states "the distributor(s) should be restricted to the country or countries that produced the film and (if different) the country where the film is first released." I think this covers all of your concerns. Betty Logan (talk) 19:10, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Fine! Thanks for your assistance. -- Großkatze (talk) 19:17, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Box office

[edit]

The current copy says "Almost five million people went in Germany…" If this means that there was a 5m audience for the film in Germany, I think that could be more clearly expressed. I doubt very much if if it means 'went to the toilet' or anything similarly weird, but as it stands the text is just kind of hanging on an implication.

I have added some clarification. Betty Logan (talk) 21:45, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dubbing

[edit]

In 2010 Noah Hathaway admitted his voice was dubbed by another actor in "The Neverending Story". (86.140.123.45 (talk) 17:34, 21 January 2022 (UTC))[reply]

Do you have a reliable source by which to verify this? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 17:30, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What I like, is the avengers that Atreyu and bastion have been on 170.250.227.154 (talk) 20:40, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
