I've read the books both in English and German in my childhood and if this is supposed to be an adaptation, it fails miserably. Story aside, the wonderful thing about children's books is, that they describe their characters visually and character wise in great detail. If you're just going to cast all of that aside and do whatever you want with the casting and production design, you may as well just make a whole other movie. My little sister loved the books and was so disappointed when she didn't even recognize her favorite character Flora. As well as that, we didn't know who Glenda was supposed to be, as she's just a whole different person here. This story is so magical and unique and I was extremely sad to see it turned into something ordinary like this.
