I grew up with the movie. There are many urban legends floating around the internet about the making of this movie, and it was great to clear those up. The horse who played Artax did not die, and Noah Hathaway was not dragged under the mud unconscious during Artax's sad scene, but he did injure his leg. Random bit of information I noted down and can't find anywhere online that I thought I would share: The name of the horse that plays Artax was Ashborn Nell.) Unfortunately this book is only available in German and out of print, as far as I know, but worth a read if you're a fan of the movie.
