* AdaptationDyeJob: The Camel with Wrinkled Knees changed colors depending on what story he was in. (White in the book, brown in the Fleischer cartoon, blue in the movie and TV series.)



* TheEeyore: The camel with the wrinkled knees, especially in the movie. He had a different personality in the book. There, he was described as absent-minded and strange, but sure of himself. He also changed colors depending what story he's in. (White in the book, brown in the Fleischer cartoon, blue in the movie and TV series.)

* DarkerAndEdgier: The 1984 stage musical ''Rag Dolly'' (with Ivy Austin as Raggedy Ann) was initially going to be based on the animated movie, but ended up as a much darker take on the story, featuring Marcella as a [[IllGirl dying girl]] with a [[MissingMom mother who abandoned her]] and a [[AlcoholicParent father who's an alcoholic]], and the fear of death is a prominent theme. Even the song ''I'm Just A Rag Dolly'', one of the two songs reprised from the movie, had been given new lyrics and had gone from being a friendly welcoming song to a song about feeling lost and hopeless. The show was a big hit in Russia, but bombed on Broadway, closing down after only five performances.

Added DiffLines:

* BlackfaceStyleCaricature: one of the toys is a mammy doll, Beloved Belindy. While her portrayal was mostly positive with some subtler racist elements, her blatant blackface design makes the character ten times more uncomfortable, and modern editions of the books make no attempts to keep in.

Raggedy Ann herself is a gentle but adventurous rag doll with a kind heart, literally. She actually has a candy heart, with the inscription [[AC:I Love You]], sewn into her chest. Raggedy Ann is considered the leader of Marcella's toys, due to the fact that Marcella carries her everywhere, so Ann has seen more of the world than any of the other toys.
