* In the original book version of ''Literature/DoctorSleep'', [[BigBad Rose the Hat]] is part of a polyamorous romance with both [[TheDragon Crow Daddy]] and [[TheDarkChick Snakebite Andi]]. In the [[Film/DoctorSleep film adaptation]], while Rose and Crow are still [[UnholyMatrimony romantically linked]], Rose has more of a "mentor/pupil" dynamic regarding Andi so as to reflect the similar relationship between Dan and Abra and make it clearer that Rose is Dan's ShadowArchetype. Additionally, considering how Andi is technically underage for the majority of both the novel and film's timespans, this change was likely done to prevent accusations of pedophilia (even though there aren't any actual sexual relations between Andi and the other members of the True Knot in the original book).

* In Hans Christian Andersen's ''Literature/TheLittleMermaid'', the title character's father, the sea king, is a minor character, and his daughter's relationships with her sisters and grandmother get much more emphasis. In [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 the Disney film]], Ariel's sisters are minor characters, her grandmother is AdaptedOut, and [[NamedByTheAdaptation King Triton]] is built up as an [[MeddlingParents overprotective dad]] with [[FantasticRacism anti-human prejudice]], whose rocky relationship with Ariel and journey to acceptance of her desire to be human becomes the very heart of the story.

* ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer1964'': In [[Literature/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer the original 1939 picture book]] and [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer its 1949 cartoon adaptation]], Rudolph lives in a reindeer village separate from Santa's sleigh team, and doesn't meet Santa until the Christmas Eve when he gets the job of guiding his sleigh: Santa comes to his house to deliver presents, sees his glowing nose, and is inspired. But in the Rankin/Bass stop-motion special, Rudolph is the son of Santa's reindeer Donner and grows up in Christmastown, knowing Santa from birth. Santa is prejudiced against his nose like the [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer other reindeer]] at first, but warms up to him after he and his friends defeat the Abominable Snow Monster, and even more when he realizes that Rudolph's nose can guide the sleigh.

* ''Film/BloodAndChocolate2007'':
** Most notably between [[LoveTriangle Vivian, Aiden and Gabriel]]. In [[Literature/BloodAndChocolate the book]] Gabriel is in love with Vivian but she doesn't reciprocate [[spoiler:at first]]. Her romance with Aiden starts well but turns sour when he finds out she's a werewolf, culminating in him [[spoiler: trying to kill her]]. In the film, Aiden is clearly the main love interest and ultimately doesn't care about Vivian being a werewolf, while Vivian feels nothing but contempt for Gabriel and he lusts after her rather than loving her.
** In the book Astrid lusts after Gabriel but he has no interest in her and comes to despise her for [[spoiler:betraying and endangering the pack, and trying to frame and kill Vivian]]. In the film, Gabriel and Astrid were once mates until Gabriel left her to pursue other women in accordance with pack tradition; Astrid still pines for Gabriel and he occasionally has sex with her, but it's indicated to be more out of convenience than any true feelings on Gabriel's part. The film retains the unrequited feelings from Astrid towards Gabriel overall, but Astrid comes off far more sympathetically while in the book it's the other way around.

** In the ''Walkyverse'' the BigBad was Head Alien, with Monkey Master as his ally. In the ''Dumbiverse'' they're both fictional characters of the popular cartoon ''Dexter And Monkey Master'' (Dexter being the Head Alien in this case). For bonus irony, a couple characters that fought against him (namely Joyce and Walky) and one that was ''possessed'' by Head Alien (namely Dorothy) are huge fans.
** One of Dorothy's first acts in ''Dumbing of Age'' was breaking up with her boyfriend Danny, with them settling into AmicableExes roles. In the ''Walkyverse'' literally the only time they were in the same scene together was when Dorothy was possessed by Head Alien and crashed Joyce and Walky's wedding.
** Once Billie has to be moved because of her relationship with Ruth, she ends up roommates with Lucy, while their only interactions in ''Shortpacked!'' was being at the same weddings due to mutual acquaintances. The same applies to Sal and Malaya.

** Played with in the case of Amber and Faz's relationship. In ''Shortpacked!'' Faz was Amber's AbhorrentAdmirer, whom Amber later learns is also her half-brother through their father (and doesn't tell him until Blaine is dead out of fear that Faz would become [[BrotherSisterIncest even more abhorrent]]). In ''Dumbing of Age'' they're presented as stepsiblings, with Blaine being Faz's stepfather, but Amber can't shake the feeling that Blaine ''is'' Faz's biological father, which makes her sick because that meant Blaine cheated on Stacy with a ''teenager'' when Amber was in diapers. (Blaine's InsistentTerminology that he's Faz's ''step''father makes things quite suspicious.) At least here they have a genuinely more sibling-like relationship, with Faz looking up to Amber as proof he doesn't have to turn out like Blaine. (It's everyone ''else'' that has to deal with his AbhorrentAdmirer side.)

** Joe's relationship to Amber in ''Shortpacked!'' was strictly professional, her being the manager of the branch of Shortpacked he provided the capital for. In the first semester in this comic, their only connection was initially through Danny, and later by Joe's father and Amber's mother dating, and by the second semester they're stepsiblings.

** Joe and Rachel were also an OfficialCouple in the ''Walkyverse'', and are the creators/parents of Ultra Car. In this, Rachel actively loathes Joe, who's more interested in Joyce, and Ultra Car became a DecompositeCharacter: the fictional Ultra Car from the cartoon of the same name, and Carla, daughter of unseen tech moguls who at best talks with Rachel in the hallway, and likely doesn't know Joe exists. (Carla also is a huge fan of Ultra Car.)
