Challenge #10

Five Things! The five things are totally up to you. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I decided to make a list of adaptations which I actually like better than the original. This is a rare thing, I am that annoying the book was better kind of person XD. But not always!

Here we go

• Cdrama Word of Honour/山河令, based on the novel Tianya ke by Priest. I wasn’t really into the novel, but the drama is great.

• LEGO Batman movie, based on DC comics, though inspiration was taken from multiple sources. This is unironically the best version of batman, especially in the German dub.

• The Jungle Book (1967 animation), based on Rudyard Kipling’s book of the same name. An elemental part of my childhood. If you noticed my King Louie icon, you probably guessed this :D

• Drei Männer im Schnee/Three men in the snow (1995 movie), based on Erich Kästner’s novel of the same name. The book is good, don’t get me wrong - but this movie is an iconic classic for a reason. Rewatching during winter holiday season is mandatory!

• The Muppet Christmas Carol, based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Pretty much uncontested as the best version of this particular story, and rightfully so.

I've never watched the LEGO Batman movbie because I wasn't super into the first LEGO movie. Everyone was saying how awesome it was and I was like, "It was okay?" XD But perhaps I should give it a try since Batman was the best part of that movie... XD

It’s pretty fun - essentially the batman bits from the LEGO movie stretched to a whole movie :D
I also really like the slightly different take on the joker.


Uhh with Jungle Book you mean the old movie from the 60s right? Because I can't remember an animated one from the 90s. ;D

Yes I mistyped. 🙈 It should be 1967 of course. Thanks for catching that!
