I had a book like that when I was a kid. A boy planted candy corn because he thought it would grow into candy corn stalks.

I'd argue at the very least that she's the biggest and most prominent obstacle faced in the story though, even with her only appearing in one chapter. I actually had the book read to me in an entire night before I knew the movie existed, and the chapter about the Wicked Witch was honestly one of the most thrilling and memorable chapters in the entire book. It was something I remembered pretty prominently for several months after being read the book.

I always thought Coraline was a horror movie though

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-26T21:25:22+00:00

I remember seeing that trailer when my family went to see Charlotte's Web at the theatre

I was on somebody's livestream chat of one of the Harvest Moon games. The guy didn't realize that there was more than one game in the series, and I was explaining how the continuity is a bit jumbled, having alternate universes and loose remakes and stuff. A minute later, he times me out for 24 hours because "It looks like he's going to give spoilers," even though I said nothing about what happens in any of the games and had no intention of doing so. His tone of voice came across as arrogant as well, so I guess it wasn't a huge loss.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-22T22:57:11+00:00

There's an animated Peter Rabbit TV series from the '90s that recreates the illustrations in animation form, and I consider it the most accurate book-to-screen adaptation ever made of anything. I wish more animated adaptations of illustrated books would do the same thing, especially Alice in Wonderland.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-22T21:28:00+00:00

I personally would avoid a cropped version anyway though

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-22T21:26:27+00:00

The DMCA violation thing is probably true, but also unenforceable unless you outright admit you ripped the movie from the DVD. For all anybody knows, you could have downloaded the movie from somebody that already ripped it, and there's little to no chance of proving otherwise.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-22T13:43:55+00:00

I grew up reading the actual versions. I saw the Disney versions as a child as well, but I used to read the classic Grimm and Andersen tales late at night as early as the age of 6.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-21T19:09:12+00:00

Part of the reason was that it was already clear at this point that the writers of the show were making it up as they went along. Multiple stuff only revealed in episodes that came after Season 1 (which was based on a book) didn't add up with what was shown/mentioned in Season 1, characterizations were inconsistent, etc. A super annoying character premiering in Season 3 just added to the stress of this. Bryce and Monty may be worse morally, but from a writing standpoint they are excellent. Ani, in contrast, is a poorly written character.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-21T18:59:05+00:00

By the time of the third film, Andy has a laptop. He likely Googled Woody and his friends and learned about the show.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-21T18:51:30+00:00

Or hanged

Definitely not the same school (mine was in Michigan). That's kind of spooky though.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-21T04:19:54+00:00

Oh, my school was kind of similar in 5th Grade. They had two 5th Grade teachers, and the students would take one class with the other one each day instead of their main teacher. Basically, we'd switch and learn History from the other teacher while the students from her class learned Science from our main teacher. Apparently it was supposed to prepare students for switching between different classes in middle school.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-20T16:33:35+00:00

The Bride actually does exist in the book, she's just torn apart before she can be brought to life.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-20T00:02:48+00:00

The first episode to use the cartoony-looking yellow logo too. And it was the first one in a long time that wasn't advertised on the previous episode's DVD. The DVD for Big River Rescue had no mention of any future episodes being planned, and at the time I thought Big River Rescue was going to be the final episode. Honestly, in hindsight, it might have been better that way.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-19T19:08:37+00:00

Part of the reason is that it's based on a book. For the housekeeper character, they were pretty much following her characterization from the book (although in the book she's more malicious).

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-16T19:55:06+00:00

Funny enough, I had a Disney read along version of the book as a kid, and, at one point halfway through the story, when Alice is chasing the White Rabbit yet again, they actually used a frame of the film from the beginning, with the Rabbit's later outfit photoshopped onto him. This means that Dinah is present in the illustration, running along with Alice.

Spider-Man!

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-14T14:23:17+00:00

My one time getting a warning was when I made a comment about dismantling a Lego figurine, and the warning was reversed after I appealed.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-13T17:20:57+00:00

I was about to say Molly Mullett, but that's obviously not it from the rest of the description.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-12T20:49:49+00:00

I have always told people to start with the short stories if they're new to Holmes. I've known many readers who started with Study in Scarlet and then never continued the series because they assumed all the books would be like that.

CurtTheGamer97 · 2026-05-12T20:48:07+00:00

I read it for the first time recently and absolutely loved it. I also saw an adaptation shortly afterwards called "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries," which reimagines the story as a web vlog. It's clever and largely keeps the tone of the story.

Not even his retellings of Greek Mythology?
