Dragon Tamer

As anyone who's seen All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series knows, there are a number of discrepencies between it and the movies. To name a few...

1) Carface appears regularly along with Killer, even though Carface was dragged down to you-know-where at the end of the second movie, and Killer was last seen in New Orleans.

2) Charlie implicitly went back to being mortal at the end of the second movie, but in the series he is identified as an angel. Also, the pin he wears in the series was last seen at the end of the second movie in the paws of Annabelle, who told him to claim it in twenty years.

3) Charlie and Sasha were, at the end of the movie, living with David and implictly married or planning to do so (if one may use the term "married" with regard to dogs). In the series they were living separately, neither of them as a pet to David, and in the early episodes Sasha had no interest in even dating Charlie.

I can guess why some of these changes were made, but I'd like to hear from someone who knows. Why were these and other alterations made to the plotline, and were any of them difficult?

This is a classic example of trying to figure out how to make a TV series out of a movie. Movies have definite endings (like Thelma & Louise driving off a cliff or Davy Crockett being killed at the Alamo). But if you wanted to make a TV show about those characters, you'd have to either back up the storylines to BEFORE their deaths... or change how the movie ends. It's not really that much of a brain-teaser. (If you really want to know more about how pre-exisiting properties become TV shows, you should sign up for my webinar tomorrow!)
