Hmmmmmm! Alright. Let me put a "for instance" in here. Did anyone see "The Black Cauldron"? I was a reader of Lloyd Alexander before I read Lewis. I was looking forward to seeing Taran and Gurgi and Flwydder The Bard! What did I get? Kid stuff. No truly evil Arainrod, no evil smelling hairy-man-beast Gurgi. What I got were kids and a fluffy thing with buck teeth that was more teddy-bear than man.

I detested the Disney adaptation of "The Black Cauldon" and have ceased to pay much attention to anything Disney does these days.
Perhaps this sort of mussing with a person's writing is what Tolkien referred to. If so, I'm right up there with him.
