Basic Trope: In the adaptation, two characters who were related in the source material are unrelated.
- Straight: In the book Alice's Big Adventure, Alice and Bob are siblings, whereas in Alice's Big Adventure: the Movie, they're friends.
- Exaggerated: In Alice's Big Adventure: the Movie, none of the canon relatives are related.
- Downplayed:
- In the book, Alice was Bob's biological sister, but in the movie, she's his adoptive sister.
- Alice and Bob are Related Differently in the Adaptation (for instance, going from siblings to cousins).
- Justified: The Reveal hadn't happened yet when this adaptation came out.
- Inverted: Related in the Adaptation
- Subverted: Bob later turns out to be Alice's brother who was taken away at birth.
- Double Subverted:
- Bob claims to be Alice's long-lost brother, but he's lying.
- Bob thinks he's Alice's long-lost brother, but a Daddy DNA Test reveals him to be mistaken.
- Parodied:
- Zigzagged: The movie leaves it ambiguous whether Alice is Bob's sister, half-sister, best friend, cousin, or what.
- Averted: Alice and Bob remain siblings in the movie.
- Enforced:
- The director wanted Alice and Bob to be a couple, which obviously wouldn't be acceptable if they were siblings.
- The director wanted there to be drama that came from Alice and Bob not knowing each other as well.
- The director wanted Alice and/or Bob to be an only child for whatever reason.
- Lampshaded:
- Invoked:
- Exploited:
- Defied:
- Discussed:
- Conversed: "Hey, how come Alice and Bob are brother and sister in the book, but aren't even related in the movie?!"
- Implied: In the movie, Bob says something to Alice about his mother rather than their mother.
- Deconstructed:
- Reconstructed:
- Played for Laughs: A Running Gag is Alice and Bob commenting that they're Like Brother and Sister, being mistaken for siblings, etc.
- Played for Drama:
- Played for Horror:
Back to Unrelated in the Adaptation.
