You know, I think I get it now:

the reason why Disney fans want the movies to not follow the source material is because that's what made "Rise of the Guardians" and both "How To Train Your Dragon" so great.

What they miss is that, in those particular cases, the source material wasn't very good, and not following it improved those movies a lot.

There's nothing wrong with L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", or Lewis Caroll's "Alice Adventures in Wonderland", or Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book", you can adapt those books faithfully and come out with pretty great movies.

Besides, Cressida Cowell gave her blessing to the "How To Train Your Dragon" movies, and William Joyce gave his blessing to "Rise of the Guardians". I highly doubt that, if they were alive today, Lewis Caroll would give his blessing to 2016's "Alice Throught the Looking Glass" or Rudyard Kipling would give his blessing to 2015's "The Jungle Book". In fact, it would turn out into exactly the same situation that "Saving Mr. Banks" depicted.
