Counterpoint - just because something is a good movie doesn't make it a good adaptation. Have you read the original Wizard of Oz? The movie changed a ton of things for better or worse. Dorothy is younger in the books and they're generally more silly and childlike, almost more akin to Alice in Wonderland just in some of the whimsical scenarios that come up. Wizard of Oz is one where actually the movie had more staying power and firmly grounded itself in the public consciousness, probably thanks to all those syndicated network broadcasts over the years.
