Adapatations that are Better than their Books!

Yup, sometimes the adaptations of popular books are better than the books themselves. Here are some adaptations of books I thought were better than their source material. And why. 1. The Princess Diaries- y'all know I didn't like the book for this one! This movie with Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews is much more family-friendly. Plus, the characters are way more likable.  2. Mary Poppins- I tried reading the book a few years ago and I DNF'd it because book Mary Poppins was so snooty and condescending for no good reason. The movie with Julie Andrews makes her a much more fun and nice nanny.  3. Kiki's Delivery Service- well, the book for this one was still good, but I liked the simplicity and themes of the movie way more. Plus, my favorite character of the artist girl Ursula has a bigger role in the movie than in the book.  4. The Last Unicorn- the book is still pretty good, but I didn't like Prince Lir! He's very pushy and obsessed with the unicorn/Lady Amalthea...
