Departing from the canon of the 1979 novel The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, the overall story in the series explored the origin story of how Bastian discovers Fantasia from an even greater point of divergence from Michael Ende's novel than the 1984, 1990, and 1994 Warner Brothers films had previously depicted.
Events from the novel occur out of order, and specific plot points are reversed between characters. For example, in the novel and films, it is Bastian who enters the world of Fantasia, but here it is Atreyu who enters our world. The concept of Yin and yang is introduced by altering the nature of the Childlike Empress's relationship with Xayide. In the series they are sisters with opposing ideologies. The Old Man of Wandering Mountain also takes on a larger role in the series becoming a mentor of sorts to Atreyu in much the same way as Karl Konrad Koreander is for Bastian.
The series also introduces new supporting characters. Lucas and Marley are Bastian's friends who try to defend him from school bullies, and Fly Ry is a heroine whom Atreyu meets who is on her own Quest. Tales from The Neverending Story is the first live action adaption not to feature the characters of Nighthob, Teeny-Weeny, or Rockbiter.
