Related in the Adaptation: In the Japanese version, Cho Hakkai/Quigley Broken Bottom is the half-brother of Kingaku and Gingaku/The McSnarls. The English dub goes even further by making Guan Yin/Queen Amas the wife of Buddha/King Amo and have Sanzo-hoshi/Prince Amat as their son.

comment
Death by Adaptation: The McSnarl brothers are sucked into their own man-eating gourd; unlike the novel, they are never released and pull a Heel–Face Turn. Queen Gruesome is frozen by her own magic fan and shattered, while her husband falls in a volcano. They both survive fine and repent in the novel.

Stay in the Kitchen: When Alakazam tells Dee Dee he's going to find Merlin, she begs to go with him, but he tells her that it's "no place for women". To add to this, Alakazam insists magicians hate girls because magicians saw girls in half.

Dub-Induced Plotline Change: The Japanese release was 88 minutes long; the English dub cut that down to 80 minutes. One change made was re-editing the opening to include scenes from later in the film.
