none of the books, as i said. Captain Bluebear started out as a character on German children's tv, where he'd tell (likely made up) crazy stories from his seafaring past to his grandkids. based off this they made a movie which came out in 99.
the creator of the character, Walter Moers, at some point decided to make him the protagonist of a fantasy novel that tells us of his early years , which came out in 99 as well (to massive success, it reached the top of the best seller lists) and kept on making books in the setting. as mentioned before, these different media are linked by hardly anything except the main character.
