Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Characters who aren't related in the source material are related to each other in an adaptation.
* '''Straight''': The book ''The Adventures of Alice and Bob'' features two {{Kid Hero}}es, Alice and Bob, who are best friends. In ''Alice and Bob: The Movie'', Alice and Bob are siblings.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** EveryoneIsRelated in the movie, but no characters were in the original book.
** Alice and Bob are related to each other in the adaptation when they didn't even ''meet'' in the source material.
* '''Downplayed''':
** RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: For instance, Alice and Bob are cousins in the book, but siblings in the movie.
** Alice and Bob are made adopted siblings or stepsiblings when they were just friends in the original book.
** Alice and Bob were adopted relatives in the original, but are made blood relatives in the adaptation.
* '''Justified''': A plot point in the movie is Alice and Bob discovering that they actually ''are'' related to each other.
* '''Inverted''': UnrelatedInTheAdaptation
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Alice and Bob are friends with no indication that they're related in both the book and the movie.
* '''Enforced''':
** Alice and Bob being related to each other makes more sense than them just being friends, whether it's to cut down on exposition or just because they have a lot of similarities.
** The actors playing Alice and Bob [[RealLifeRelative are siblings]], so it's made an ActorInspiredElement.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': Alice and Bob's parents end up getting married to each other, making them stepsiblings.
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
