TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Dragons live by the Nazi's standards of racial purity, not allowing half-bloods such as Nepomuk into their city of Sorrowland. In the city, Mrs. Grindtooth teaches racial superiority to the abducted children. Author Michael Ende chose these topics because he has disagreed with this ideology since before World War II.

With a budget of almost 25 million EUR, this film (as of 2018) is the most expensive German motion picture ever made.

Possibly the most famous interpretation of the book by Michael Ende is the version by the Augsburger Puppenkiste titled Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer (1977), starring marionettes instead of real people.

The misspelled address on the parcel that Jim arrives in is due to the fact that each of the thirteen pirates that make up the pirate gang called the Wild 13 only know one letter. Whenever they have to write something, the Captain reads out the message slowly and when a pirate recognizes the one letter he knows, he writes it down.

Based on the book by Michael Ende. There is a sequel titled "Jim Button and the Wild 13", originally published in German as "Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13".

Popular Dialogues

"Lukas: You'll become a great explorer. Jim Knopf: I rather be an engine driver, just like you. Lukas: Engine drivers only follow the tracks that were found by explorers."
