the weasels would be a case of Adaptational Badass, not Adaptatational Wimp


* AdaptationalBadass: In the original novel, the four protagonists snuck into Toad Hall to face the weasels in direct Good Old Fisticuffs, and won, scaring all the weasels out. In the film they are clearly outmatched by the weasels and have to retreat with the deed to Toad Hall. It's especially noticeable with Angus [=MacBadger=]; in the book Badger was feared and respected by the weasels from the start because he could take on any number of them, but in the movie he's more of a neurotic if temperamental older gentleman who isn't much use in a fight and is easily the one who's the least involved in the struggle for the deed to Toad Hall.

* AdaptationalBadass: The Horseman in the novel couldn't make his horse jump so high to almost cover the moon.
* AdaptationalVillainy: All the Horseman does in the original tale is chasing Ichabod and throwing his pumpkin at him and any traits of his personality are left up in the air. Here the Horseman is apparently more malevolent: he has a sword and effectively tries to behead Ichabod and seems to take much pleasure in hunting him as he laughs wickedly while he does it.

* EvilerThanThou: Assuming he and Brom are two separate characters, the Horseman is definetly more murderous, scary and dangerous than Brom since the latter while a bully he's (supposedly) not an attempted murderer.
