I agree with you on The Giver. The book was so amazing!! But movie didn’t capture the magic of the books at all

I would replace The Polar Express for Dune in your list. But that would be just me.

100% The Giver adaptation was a huge disappointment. I taught the novel for several years and cried though the ending every single time with every single class.

The novel is a thing of beauty. I wish they were able to recognize that more to give us a better adaptation! - N

I wonder if in the future all books will be adapted into screenplays and motion pictures by utilizing AI without crew and cast.

Really hoping that the future of animation is baked in human collaboration, but we'll see where history takes us! - N
