As Atreyu finds Morla, the Ancient One, Bastian screams in terror, so loud that he's heard by Atreyu, breaking that same fourth wall the 2nd time. This is the first time the fourth wall is broken. When Atreyu is given the mission to find an human at the boundaries of Fantasia, his mission becomes to break the fourth wall to contact Bastian, who is the one that can give the Childlike Empress a new name in order to save Fantasia. Note that every single time the expression 'boundaries of Fantasia' is said, it refers to the fourth wall between Fantasia and Bastian's world.

The complicated point is that the film itself deals with layers of truth that must be understood in order to get the full meaning of the film (not the book). But what about the fourth wall of the book within the movie?. It's an exhortation for us to have hope and live our dreams by means of a 'dangerous book,' as the Librarian said in the beginning of the film. The image of Bastian riding on Falkor is an invitation for us, the audience, to step out of the Nothing.

As Bastian understands it, he becomes the hero of his own adventure, free and valiant. Once Bastian gave the Empress a new name, there is a short conversation on how imagination works. None of the characters of Bastian's world ever seem to break the fourth wall. At another point Atreyu speaks to us in the actual real world. The Childlike Empress is breaking the fourth wall between the film itself and our world. In this part, she's speaking to the audience, complementing what G'mork said earlier, but in a higher layer of truth, referring to Bastian's world as another extension of what could be called our world's Fantasia. Note that at this point, she's looking directly toward the camera-towards you/us watching the film. As the storm rages in Bastian's world (is the Nothing destroying his world too?), the Childlike Empress mentions that someone, somewhere, is living the adventure through Bastian, a concept that once again escapes his comprehension.
