* BearsAreBadNews: Downplayed. The [[MookLieutenant captain of Döbrögi's soldiers]] spots at the market a dancing bear and believes it to be Matyi in disguise. He then attempts to force the "disguise" off while ignoring the warnings of the bear's owner. The bear is docile and endures the manhandling for several seconds until it gets angry and throws the captain in the air. It then roars at the other soldiers who run off and looks quite pleased with itself as its owner hugs it.

to:

* BadBoss: In the animated film, Döbrögi is constantly threatening his soldiers servants. In his introduction scene alone, he [[DisproportionateRetribution sentences the dim-witted loader with 105 lashes for unintentionally getting his gun damaged and intends to have two other guards lashed 50 times for letting the three rabbits he intended to shoot escape]].


Added DiffLines:

* DisproportionateRetribution: In the animated film, Döbrögi intends to shoot three rabbits at once, so the dim-witted loader puts three bullets in his gun. This predictably results in the gun being broken, and the rabbits escape because the two guards standing over them take cover before Döbrögi can shoot. On the words of the bailiff/ispán, Döbrögi sentences the loader to be lashed 105 times, while the two guards who let the rabbits escape submit to being lashed 50 times. The incident that starts with the appearance of Matyi's goose spares the three men from the lash (at least on-screen).

* AdaptationExpansion: The animated film's plot largely follows the plot of the original poem, but it adds an extra scene where Döbrögi calls for two people to cure him of his pain due to Matyi's beating: first the local blacksmith who, due to a misunderstanding, pulls out Döbrögi's tooth, only causing him more pain; second the local medicine woman who performs several {{Forced Transformation}}s on the Vice-Count.
