* StandardHeroReward: One of the things that's changed from the book is the avertion of this -- in the book, the Emperor had promised his daughter's hand in marriage to whoever could rescue her. In the movie no such promise is ever mentioned and it is in fact Li Si who asks to marry Jim towards the end of the movie. This surprises her father, though his only objection is that she and Jim are a little too young to get married ''yet.'' Unlike in the book, they're not officially engaged at the end of the movie, though plenty of PuppyLove moments between the two hint that they're heading that way in the future.

* HappilyAdopted: Jim finds out that he isn't Mrs Whaat's biological son a lot earlier than he did in the book. It does lead to a few introspective moments where he ponders what the difference is, and where he really came from, but he never stops thinking of her as his mother.

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.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: 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.

* MythologyGag: On Jim's third birthday, Mr. Sleeve is shown taking pictures with an old-fashioned camera -- a clear nod to the Creator/AugsburgerPuppenkiste version where he worked as a photographer.

* ActingForTwo: Rick Kavanian plays ''all'' of the Wild 13.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: 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 TheSmartGuy of the movie, instead of the PinballProtagonist 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.
* ChekhovsSkill: Jim's aiming abilities with a slingshot, which he demonstrates in the early parts of the movie pranking Mr. Sleeve, come in handy during the battle with Mrs. Grindtooth at the climax.
* EarlyBirdCameo: The Wild 13, who were alluded to from the start in the book but didn't actually appear until the second book, show up in the very first scene of the movie.
* ElectiveMute: The Emperor of Mandala, for most of the movie. In his grief over losing his daughter, he's taken a vow of silence and never utters a word until she is safely back home.
* EntitledToHaveYou: The dragon who hits on Emma in disguise ''really'' comes across as having a classic case of this.
