 Adaptation Expansion

comment
 Adaptation Expansion: The 1996 animated series has the same main characters and basic plot as the books, but is padded with a lot of added characters and subplots. It also gives Mrs. Grindtooth an extra motivation for imprisoning the children in the first place, which is based on a lot of misunderstandings and misconceptions about the nature of humans. She's growing old and, having misunderstood the saying that "Laughter makes you younger," she kidnaps a bunch of children so that they can teach her the power of laughter. When the children don't feel much inclined to laugh being imprisoned in Sorrowland, she decides to torture them until they cooperate — and having heard that human children find school to be torture, she starts the mock-school.

 Same with Nepomuk, who takes the role of Guest-Star Party Member in a few episodes.

 Adaptational Nice Guy: Nepomuk, the half-dragon. In the book he was a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who tried to be evil and scary because he wanted to be like the full-blood dragons, but never managed to be anything worse than mildly impolite and inconsiderate. In the series even this jerkishness has been toned town, to the point where even other half-dragons shun him because he's "too nice".

 Evil Chancellor

comment
 Pi Pa Po, the Evil Chancellor of Mandala is a fairly minor nuisance in the book and is quickly disposed of, but in the animated series he's a major antagonist, constantly following Luke and Jim to thwart them, and is even the one who arranged for Princess Li Si to be kidnapped. Pi Pa Po's reason for doing this is that he wants to become emperor of Mandela by forcing the current emperor into a state of grief.
