Line 104:
* The film of ''[[A Dog's Purpose]]'' edited down the first 54 pages to less than 4 minutes, just briefly showing Toby with his siblings. The film has Toby and his family [[Demoted to Extra]]. Even removing Senora, Senora's friends, Coco, Top Dog, Spike, Rottie, and most of the minor characters.
* The Little Mermaid has a grandmother in the original tale. In the [[The Little Mermaid (animation)|Disney adaptation]], Ariel (and her sisters) have no known grandparents.
* A number of characters and creatures from L. Frank Baum's [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'']] are nowhere to be found in the classic 1939 film [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|''The Wizard of Oz'']].
** The Kalidahs (creatures with heads like tigers and bodies like bears) who menace Dorothy and friends on their way to the Emerald City are excluded, as are the wolves, crows and bees who attack them on their way to the Wicked Witch of the West's castle. The Queen of the Field Mice and her subjects who help the Tinman and the Scarecrow rescue Dorothy, Toto, and the Lion from the Poppy field are also omitted, replaced by Glinda neutralizing the poppies' affects with snow.
** Glinda in the movie is a [[Composite Character]]: In the original book, she is the Good Witch of the South and only appears at the end of the book (and then only after Dorothy and friends have to take a journey to the south to see her, rather than her coming to the Emerald City shortly after the Wizard accidentally leaves without Dorothy), and the movie combines Glinda with the Good Witch of the North (who is a separate character in the original book who meets Dorothy on her arrival in Oz but isn't seen again after she leaves Munchkin land).
** The entire journey to the South (which takes place after all conflicts except Dorothy's wish to return to Kansas have been resolved) is omitted in favor of Glinda coming to the Emerald City, and as a result, the giant spider and the Hammerheads who hinder them on the journey are omitted. And so is the Dainty China Country and its [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|population of creatures made from china]], who neither help nor hinder Dorothy and her friends.
* ''[[Return to Oz]]'' leaves out several characters from the two books that are its main basis, ''[[The Land of Oz]]'' and ''Ozma of Oz''. Among them, the Sawhorse, the Wogglebug, Jellia Jamb, General Jinjur, and the Royal Family of Ev. The Princess Mombi of the film is a [[Composite Character]] of Mombi from ''The Land of Oz'' and Princess Langwidere from ''Ozma of Oz''.
