 Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver ("Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer") is a 2018 movie based on the first Jim Button novel by Michael Ende.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A baby boy is rescued from a shipwreck by a band of roaming pirates, who intend to sell him to Mrs. Grindtooth the dragon. Because of a mix-up, however, the boy ends up being sent not to the aptly-named Sorrowland, where Mrs. Grindtooth lives — but to a tiny island kingdom named Morrowland, where he is Happily Adopted by the four inhabitants (King Alphonse the Quarter-to-Twelfth, Mrs. Whaat, Mr. Sleeve, and Luke the Engine Driver) and given the name Jim Button.Because Morrowland is so very tiny, as Jim grows older the King begins worrying that there won't be enough space for him when he's an adult. And so, to save Morrowland from overpopulation, Jim and his best friend, Luke the Engine-Driver, journey out in the world to find a new place to settle down.Instead, as events unfold, they end up on a quest to save Princess Li Si of Mandala from Mrs. Grindtooth the dragon... the very same dragon that Jim was supposed to be sent to as a baby.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The sequel, based on the second book, Jim Button and the Wild 13 ("Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13"), premiered in 2020.

 Adaptational Attractiveness: In the book, Luke is described as a round little man, always covered in soot and grease from the engine. In the movie he's much cleaner and played by easy-on-the-eyes actor Henning Baum.

 Adaptational Intelligence: Jim is notably cleverer here than in his book. Not only is he able to read, which his book counterpart couldn't, but he also essentially been made The Smart Guy of the movie, instead of the Pinball Protagonist he tended to become in the book. He has several flashes of brilliance and is usually the one to figure out the solution to a problem.

 Charles Atlas Superpower: Luke, full stop. When faced with the Evil Chancellor of Mandala, he beats armed and armored guards with nothing but his fists. He is only "defeated" when said Evil Chancellor holds a blade to Jim's throat.
