Oh, another one I just thought of - How to Train Your Dragon.

The movies are fine, but they are so completely different from the books in almost every respect that it's barely worth giving them the same name.

The books are absolutely brilliant, especially the further you get into them. Would love to see them developed as a TV series that stuck to the style and messages of the books. Would likely need about 10 seasons though!

TIL How to Train Your Dragon is originally a book. Thank you.

Yeah, Cressida Cowell. It's very different though, be warned. There's a guy called Hiccup who is a Viking and has a dragon... And that's about it :-)

Isn't there literally a TV series for it? I could have sworn I've seen it at some point

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think there's a series based on the movies, but not really on the books as far asni know.
