Adaptation Inspiration: Difference between revisions

A work may be an adaptation of previous media, but that does not mean it has the same tone or style. It will usually hit the same main plot points, but change dramatically the way the plot is presented, sometimes to the point of [[Genre Shift|changing the genre]] or changing position on a sliding scale such as the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]].

 

{{examples}}

 

* Anything [[Tim Burton]] touches turns quirky. This doesn't really apply to movies like ''[[Charlie and The Chocolate Factory]]'' or ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'', on account of the source material's pre-existing quirkiness, but definitely applies to ''[[Batman (Film)|Batman]]'', ''[[Sleepy Hollow]]'', and ''[[Planet of the Apes (Franchise)|Planet of the Apes]]''.

* The ''[[Harry Potter (Film)|Harry Potter]]'' movies had different inspirations in visual tone and what the directors emphasized. ''[[Goblet of Fire]]'' had several boarding school comedy pieces, some of which weren't in the book at all. [[Alfonso Cuaron]] gave a candy shop Day of the Dead touches and food, such as candy skulls.
