Film Adaptations From Celebrated Children's Books
A lot of of the greatest family films have been adapted from famous family writing. Much-loved children's books that have stood the test of time often make superb family movies. Most of these films are terrific on their own but a query is how intimately do the movies stick to the story of the book?
A fairly new show that was adapted from a series of books is "The Spiderwick Chronicles" from 2008. The film was adapted from the series of books by the same name authored by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi. There has only been one show so far but there are actually 5 books in the series at this point. The books and the motion picture follows the escapade of a family of children who move into a new dwelling where they find a out of the ordinary book that leads them into a land filled with goblins and trolls, elves and dwarves and other creatures.
The dearly loved family book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl was initially published in 1964. It has been modified into two famous movies, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" in 1971, starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka and from 2005 "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.
One of one and all's much loved children's books seems to be "Charlotte's Web" by E.B. White. The tome was firstly published in 1952 and it has never lost its regard. It is one of the most dearly loved children's books of all times. It was first made into an animated feature film in 1973. A live action motion picture adaptation was released in December 2006. Both movies followed the story line of the book almost exactly.
One of the most adored children's authors of all times is Dr. Seuss. More and more of his brilliant books are now being made into films. In 2008 with Jim Carrey as the voice of the main character, "Horton Hears A Who" came out. This motion picture was an animated feature motion picture that very correctly followed the story of the book.
"The Grinch Who Stole Christmas", another Seuss classic was made into an cartoon adaptation that showed on Television every holiday season. That version followed the book. But in the year 2000 a big budget film of "The Grinch" came out with Jim Carrey as the Grinch and there were many extra scenes and events. "The Cat In The Hat", also from Seuss was released in 2003 and it too, had new scenes and events.
The second highest grossing movie series in times gone by was from the kids sequence of books about "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling. 6 of the 7 books of the series have now been completed into movies with a plan for two films to be adapted from the seventh book for a total of eight films altogether.
Kids books many times turn into films that are cool for the whole family unit to view. Reading the books aloud to your children and viewing the movies together is a terrific family pursuit, where great memories can be made. - 23806
