* ShipwreckStart: As well as the [[Film/SwissFamilyRobinson 1960 film]], begins with a family of six ([[AdaptedOut originally]]) being stranded on an island probably in the East Indies after their ship founders in a storm. In the film, they tried to use the storm to evade pirates, but the original book just seems to be a case of bad luck. Thankfully for the latter, their ship survives basically intact with all their supplies, so it's a downplayed example.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* TreehouseOfFun: The family builds an enormous one, complete with a library. This is ramped UpToEleven in the Disney film, with a replica of the treehouse even featuring as an attraction at several Ride/DisneyThemeParks. Though it [[FridgeLogic does raise the question]]: With that much material and ingenuity, why not build a boat instead? (Answer: RuleOfCool, of course!)

* AdaptationExpansion: One of the oddest examples where the story has undergone many expansions and abridging over the course of it's translations. To the point scholars have said "with all the expansions and contractions over the past two centuries Wyss's original narrative has long since been obscured". If you remember Jack riding an ostrich, for instance, that was an added bit.
