Movie Adaptations From Splendid Children's Books
Various of the best children's films have been adapted from splendid children's writing. Dearly loved family books that have stood the test of time often make fantastic children's movies. Most of these films are good on their own but a inquiry is how strongly do the films stick to the storyline of the book?
In 2008, "The Spiderwick Chronicles" by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi was made into a film. There are five books in the book sequence but only one movie has been completed so far. It follows the adventure of a family of kids who find a odd book in their new home that leads them into a world filled with trolls and goblins, elves, dwarves and other creatures.
The dearly loved kids book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl was first in print in 1964. It has been modified into two popular movies, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" in 1971, starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka and from 2005 "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.
In 1952, the writer, E.B. White brought us one of the most favorite kids tales of all time with "Charlotte's Web". The book has stayed in print continuously since its first publication. An cartoon film of "Charlotte's Web" was released in 1973. In December 2006, a live action film version was released. Both movies followed the original story faithfully.
One of the most adored children's authors of all time is Dr. Seuss. More and more of his great books are now being made into movies. In 2008 with Jim Carrey as the voice of the main character, "Horton Hears A Who" came out. This film was an animated feature film that very precisely followed the story of the book.
Another Seuss masterpiece, "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" was made into an cartoon rendering in 1966 and it still shows on many program listings through the holiday season. The animated rendering follows the account unerringly. Nevertheless, in the year 2000, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" the live action edition came out with Jim Carrey in the lead role as the Grinch. In that movie many new events and scenes were added. In the 2003 version of "The Cat and the Hat" also by Dr. Seuss, liberties were again taken and the storyline was added to with events and scenes not found in the book.
One of the highest grossing film series of all time is from the family books about Harry Potter authored by J.K. Rowling. At this point 6 of the seven books have been made into films with a plan to make 2 movies from the 7th installment for a total of 8 films. This series is the 2nd highest grossing series in times past after James Bond.
Kids books often turn into movies that are enjoyable for the entire family to view. Reading the books aloud to your children and watching the films collectively is a wonderful family pursuit, where excellent reminiscences can be made. - 18423
