By way of example, "The Jungle Book". Disney has Bagheera and Baloo rescuing Mowgli from the monkeys with a jazzy musical number. Kipling had the panther and bear go in with fang and claw, getting the kid out over a mountain of monkey bodies.
I don't know which version I prefer. One is silly happy fun. One is exciting and riveting. All depends on what day it is, I guess. Jelly beans or dark chocolate?

That's a good point, there's no right or wrong answer. Sometimes you just feel one way, sometimes the other!
