I think I've found a referrence...?

[rhapsody14.livejournal.com]

Just a minor thing I realized during making amvs




So, on Drosselmeyer's gravestone we see "D.D. Drosselmeyer" (There weren't many shots of the grave, and this is the closest one)

I've brightened it up so it's easier to see.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the book version of " the neverending story" (it's awesome, read it!)
and I'm not sure anymore if they mentioned it in the movie

The thing is, that Bastians full name is Bastian Balthasar Bux, and the bookshop owners name is Karl Konrad Koreander (okay in the english version it's written Carl Conrad Coriander). In the story, they talk about the fact that their full names always start with the same letter.

So it's B.B.B., K.K.K.( or C.C.C.) and D.D.D.

Do you think it's a reference to the book or just coincidence? It's so minor and so hard to realize that I'm not sure :S
I don't think that he had a full name in the ballet or in the original book of the nutcracker.


Anyway, froggy!
