Discussion Main / HumanFocusedAdaptation

I'm not sure about the bit in the Muppets section that says "In this case both are based on stories where the main characters were humans, and the trope is just a side-effect of staying faithful to the story."

Because all the characters in A Christmas Carol and Treasure Island were human, and the Muppets weren't faithful to that at all. Once you've decided to cast a frog as Bob Cratchett, I'm not clear how it's "staying faithful to the story" not to have Uncle Deadly playing Scrooge. I mean, I can see why they did it, but not for that reason.

Removed this. If it's too early to call, then it's too early to call. (At least without a specific source.)

• Too early to call, but the Sonic the Hedgehog film adaptation may get this as it has been described as a live-action/CGI hybrid movie. When the screenplay will be finished is anyone's guess.

Call me crazy, but turning the animals into humans is not a straight-playing of this Trope. It's either an Exaggeration (and then only if you consider the animals and their human counterparts separate characters entirely), a Parody (if the work parodies either this Trope or, in the case of Equestria Girls High School AU), Exploited or, most likely, Not this Trope at all.

The part about "the need to avoid executive meddling leading to this trope in Kingdom Hearts" reeks of anti-Disney bullcrap, as I have found no examples or evidence of such Teeth-Clenched Teamwork anywhere else on this wiki or any other website, and by all means the creators of KH seem to be fine with Disney from what I can tell. If anyone can link me to an article or interview where the creators express such sentiments, I might change my mind, but for now I'm strongly considering deleting it.
