38. Disney has a bad record with being true to books

When he made Jungle Book, he told the writers not to read Kipling's stories, but just to write a story based on the characters and setting.

The singing was very good, though. One of Disney's top musicals.

The Little Mermaid, Cinderalla, Jungle Book, Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, Hunchback... and then there are the historical rewrites, like Mulan (still a great film), Pocahontas I and II...

They did improve The Lion King, though, if you've ever seen the original Japanese series.
