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.

The 1967 animated Jungle Book will always be one of my all-time favorite movies, for several reasons. And yes, it's the absolute best version of the story. The newer adaptations are no where near the quality of that movie either!! :D

It’s glorious :D
Oh, don’t get me started on the other adaptations…the live action stuff, oh no.

Tell me about it!

I do give new movies a chance... but I always end up disappointed.
