Films based on books written by british Authors and other misc.

There are several books written by British authors . that American movie producers feel they have to Americanize it in order to get people to like. Examples of these are as follows *note* I will only be talking about kids films based on books. On the other hand there are also books written by American Authors that get turned int movies by the UK

"The Indian and the cupboard",the book is British,there's even a glossary of British words at the beginning of the book,the film however is horrendously American.


"Matilda" Actually since I saw the movie before I read the book I was surprised to find that Matilda was written by a British Author and the book is set in England,not America,however I have no problem with the movie since it's very funny.

"A Little Princess",I'm including this one in here because while there are two British versions (1973) and (1986) there were also two live action American versions,one set in the Boer War with Shirley temple as Sara and the set in 1914 New York.

"The Secret Garden" (1986) This is in the list because the actress who played Mary Lennox was American despite the fact that her character is British,however she does slip in and out of a British accent at times .

"Pollyanna" (2004) actually this is one time in which an American film and Book was made British and actually was more like the book than it's predessor.
