Line 135:
** The second film covers the second half of the book, and takes more liberties with it.
* ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' films.
* ''[[The Golden Compass]]'', an adaption from the ''[[His Dark Materials]]'' novels, suffered from considerable [[Executive Meddling]] for its [[Rage Against the Heavens|subject matter]] and [[Downer Ending]] (which is on [[YouTube]]!). The execs also decided late on that it was too long, leading to some scenes being cut and others rearranged to patch the holes. That's said to be why {{Spoiler|Byrnison took so long to ask his army of bears to help Lyra after regaining his kingdom.}}
* ''[[Stardust (film)|Stardust]]'' took [[Neil Gaiman]]'s pointedly [[Bittersweet Ending]] and changed it so that the last line of the movie is "And they all lived happily ever after". They also threw out Tristran's sister and step-mother. Then they changed the main character's name (removing the second R), removed the [[Fairy Tale]] and [[Nursery Rhyme|nursery rhymes]] that marked it as a fairy tale for adults, but instead pumped it full of [[One-Scene Wonder|One Scene Wonders]], fleshed-out versions of previously bland characters (especially the one that Robert de Niro played), and gave the story a genuine climax.
* ''[[Interview with the Vampire]]''
