Which do you like better? The book or the movie? Most of the time, I think the book is better. However, there are those rare occasions when I actually love the movie version just as much as the book-- or maybe even more! Here are some of my favorite book to movie adaptations.
I think Disney did a fabulous job with this movie. Is everything just like it is in the book? No. But the actors do a fantastic job and the film follows the book quite well. Plus, the music score is beautiful.
Although the only similarity between the book and movie are the characters' names, the movie is incredible. DreamWorks did a fantastic job of capturing the bond between Hiccup and Toothless the dragon, and (do I dare say it?) they might have even improved upon the story.
I was surprised by how good this book to film was. The actors did a wonderful job, and the movie followed the book almost exactly! It was fun to see one of my favorite books transformed into a great, entertaining film.
This was one of my absolute favorite movies growing up. So when I discovered it was a book, of course I read it. And although I love books by Frances Hodgson Burnett, I think I liked the movie adaptation better than the book. It is full of fabulous acting, magical moments, and the ending is tear-wrenchingly beautiful.
You've probably heard of the Disney movie, but did you know it was adapted from a book by Dodie Smith? The book is quite different from the movie, but they both are fun and creative in their own ways.
There you have it! Five great book to film adaptations. So grab your popcorn, get a drink, and check out some great movies at the library!
