Re: How would you adapt your favorites?
With regards to the execution of the plot, I'd just make sure not to compltely shy away from the dark elements. The void stuff is creepy as hell and I love it for that. (If Into the Woods can get away with what they did at a PG from DISNEY, this can easily be done at a PG.) And that both Ethan and Jennifer T. have kind of shitty parents, and even magic can't completely fix that.
It's got such potential for being a movie that appeals to slightly older children, and adults (omg the part about the DH rule...!). Sasquatches! Giants! Mythology! And saving the world with magic baseball! What's not to love?
BUT.
Here's the major sticking point. This is a book with 6 Native American characters: the female lead, her great-uncle is an important supporting character, and then her father and 3 great-aunts are in some scenes. I would require that whatever format the adaption used, those characters must be played by Native American actors/VAs. This shouldn't be so fucking hard, but obviously it is. Just looking at Laika's cast for Kubo and the Two Strings shows it wouldn't even happen at the studio I feel it would fit with.
Make it happen, but make it happen right.
