| 2 | * AdaptationExpansion: In the book, Travis puts Old Yeller out of his misery immediately after learning he's got "hydrophoby", all of it happening in less than a full page. In the screenplay, Travis is unwilling to believe that Yeller is that sick and instead decides to pen him up for a few days and see how he does, making it all the more heartbreaking when he's forced to accept that his best friend can't be saved. |
| 3 | * CareerResurrection: Creator/RobertStevenson had a decent directing career in his native Britain in TheThirties when he was invited by producer David O. Selznick to come work in America, but most of the projects he made across the pond were unsuccessful. His career had been languishing for nearly two decades when he was given this project by Creator/WaltDisney, with its immense success putting him back on the map and leading him to have a successful run working at Creator/{{Disney}} for the rest of his life. |
