Are they two different things?

[nyxelestia]

I mean, I thought the books were the backstories for the movies. But I've been out of this fandom for a while and even back then I wasn't very deeply into it.

Someone please explain, or at least link to where I can find out more?

According to William Joyce, the guy who writes the books and came up with the concept for the movie, they're supposed to take place in the same canon, with the books being the backstory for the movie. However, there are so many discrepancies, timeline inconsistencies, differing character interpretations and even wildly differing casts of characters (there are at least three in the books who aren't so much as nodded to in the film), and general failures to connect, that most people consider the books as a seperate canon because there's no way the two could be easily and peacefully joined together.

Also, one of the main storyboard artists for the movie (the aforementioned rufftoon) started making little backstory comics based on the information she had about the characters while the movie was still in the early development stages, and they really don't connect with Joyce's version of events.

From what little I know, the film is BASED off the books but has made enough changes to be its own continuity. Jack Frost is a new character for the films to act as an audience surrogate, and some characters were changed; Bunny for example was a machine tinkerer with a waistcoat in the books.

I don't know much else apart from that, but hopefully that answers your question.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

The movie has a more mythology-based backstory with spirits like Pitch being ancient beings formed on Earth and given shape by human stories. (The crew that worked on it made some comics about it) http://rufftoon.deviantart.com/art/Intermezzo-H-P-01-362790172

In the books, Bunnymund is a time traveling six-armed alien with a serious egg fetish, and everything good about Earth came from aliens.

I tend to prefer the idea that Earth is able to create its own mythology, and invent its own things, and doesn't need aliens to come along and help the mudbugs become civilized. Also, the books had a weird repetition of "The greatest and only true love in the universe is that of a father for his daughter" which was understandable considering the author, but a little off putting.

Re: OP

OP again, I realized I came across as a little harsh. I'd just love to see fanon exploring and inventing mythology, instead of http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/158329-ancient-aliens

It's especially jarring when people do go into developing a mythology and have other characters from myth and magic going on, and "Oh yeah, but Pitch/Bunny/Manny/Sandy are still Super Advanced Aliens, not mythical creatures."
