 When Atreyu leaves the Ivory Tower, the following scenes that show him   riding through several landscapes of Phantasia were differently edited: The   US version has some sequences placed in a different order and combines them,   with the first appearance of Gmork placed at the end, and then cuts to the   scene with Atreyu and Artax resting. The German version shows the ride in   stages, interrupted in the middle by the Gmork appearance and slowly fades   over to the resting scene at the end.
