* ''Film/DadsArmy1971'': During the scene of Captain Mainwaring inspecting his platoon for the first time (adapted from the {{Pilot}}, "The Man and the Hour"), Private Godfrey is given Private Bracewell's role of "man in tuxedo with golfclub", while Private Godfrey's original role ("man with gun who refuses to give it up") is given to [[CanonForeigner General Wilkinson]]. This works in the film's favour as later in the series, Private Godfrey [[CharacterizationMarchesOn became a pacifist who couldn't kill a mouse]], let alone a Nazi, and wouldn't have wanted to keep a gun.
* ''Film/{{Cinderella 2015}}'' makes a few alterations in response to criticisms of [[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Disney's original film]] (Each human is a FlatCharacter, the search was poorly executed, the [[KarmaHoudini stepmother got away]], etc.). For example, Ella and the Prince have more of a personality now, he has an actual ''name'', he and Ella meet each other well before the ball, [[spoiler:the Prince's hidden presence in the search party ensures that Cinderella is found]], and [[spoiler:Lady Tremaine and her daughters are actually punished in the end]].[[note]]er, [[spoiler:Ella still forgives them, the stepsisters in particular as their antagonism was actually ''lesser'' than in the original film, but ''only'' because the movie's Aesop is "be kind to others". All three, and [[AdaptationalVillainy the Duke]], are mentioned to have left the kingdom and never returned after this.]][[/note]]

* ''Film/{{Lady and the Tramp|2019}}'': Aunt Sarah’s cats are given an entirely new jazz number, as their original song "We are Siamese" had fallen hard into ValuesDissonance with its Asian caricatures. Some of the lines remain similar in spirit to the original song, but without the racist subtext.

** The ending was also changed to provide some more consequences for Evan. [[spoiler: rather than his lie never being reveal Evan admits the deception publicly and make amends by trying learn more about and preserve the memory of the real Connor.]]

** The film also makes various changes to make the title character come across as more sympathetic and less manipulative than in the stage show, most notably his relationship with Zoe. Evan forcing a kiss on Zoe while sitting on her dead brother's bed and arranging for her band be involved in the remembrance ceremony he's involved in are both cut, as her "You gave my brother back!" line when she first kisses him.

* ''Film/ChristopherRobin'' could arguably be seen as this in order to provide an optimistic contrasr to the depressing experience of ''Film/GoodbyeChristopherRobin''.

* The film version of ''Theatre/DearEvanHansen'' was derided due to Creator/BenPlatt's (27 at the time) unconvincing looks made to play a teenager. Afterwards, the studio announced that a ReCut would see limited release in theaters before being used for the streaming release, using CGI effects to make Platt look younger.

* In ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'', the initial design of Sonic in the teaser trailer and posters received a universally negative reaction, saying that Sonic's design fell hard into the UncannyValley. Paramount, Sega, and the filmmakers put the brakes on as hard as they could, and delayed the film's release by three months to redesign and reanimate Sonic. Fortunately, they called in Creator/TysonHesse to provide the new design, which ended up being much closer to his video game counterpart's design. This second design was rapturously received when finally unveiled to the public, and the movie would go on to be a modest hit.

* In ''Film/{{Aladdin|2019}}'', the climax [[spoiler:has Jasmine take part in the action to get the lamp back, instead of having to go through GoGoEnslavement and ShowSomeLeg like in the [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} animated movie]]. As years went by, this part was seen as tasteless and sexist, and even more so because Jasmine was [[ChildSlave only 15]].]]

*** A frequent complaint leveled at ''Film/Godzilla2014'' and ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' is that the monster fights are shrouded in darkness and weather effects.[[note]]''Film/Godzilla2014'' is a bit of a MisBlamed case due to the fact that every known home video release suffered from a VERY poor transfer that outright darkened the picture horribly, even the day scenes were dark because of it. Many claimed the initial theater release looked much better and visually appealing than the Blu-ray release.[[/note]] ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' shows fights in broad daylight and one brightly neon-lit night which brings shades of ''Film/PacificRim'' to mind.

* ''Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed'' is what Creator/JamesGunn made to people disappointed with ''Film/ScoobyDoo2002''. It shows the characters being likable with numerous references to the original cartoon with a LighterAndSofter tone that certainly helped its demographic.[[note]]The movie was still hit with {{Sequelitis}} and ultimately became a BoxOfficeBomb, but at least it still tried to do this.[[/note]]

** [[spoiler:As mentioned on the man page under "Tabletop Games" was the film itself was subjected to one in ''TabletopGame/AlienTheRoleplayingGame'' after Creator/RidleyScott omitted stuff from the script stating that David was only copying the Engineers and going with a FanDislikedExplanation that David created the Xenomorphs. Fox and the game chose to ignore Scott's changes and went with the original script and the novelization's explanation that David's creations were only copying the Engineers' work, that the Engineers did indeed create the Xenomorphs, and gave David's creations the name of "Praetomorphs".]]
