Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Ugly Duckling is a 1997 animated movie based off of the classic story of the same name that was released by Crayola. Yes that Crayola. Okay, it was actually released by Hallmark Entertainment, but they used Crayola when they released it in the United States as it was originally released in the United Kingdom.Unlike the classic story of "The Ugly Duckling", this version is quite different. In this version the ugly duckling named Augustus, runs away after being rejected from his home by many of the residents. The reason that they don't like him is because of his clumsiness and bad luck, which involves unintentionally hurting others or breaking toys. When two residents tell his mother that they should consider sending him away, it sends Augustus into a deep depression and he runs away from home. While on the road, he runs into a rat named Scruffy who runs away from her home as well because her parents didn't want her to follow her dreams.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This movie is also a bit unique because it has two different English dubs. This movie was originally released in the United Kingdom with its own dub, but it was eventually released in the United States where they redubbed the movie, though many of the British accents were left in.

Adaptation Expansion: This film has much more of a plot than the original story, having the star character end up as The Runaway for being disliked by many of his town's residents and having him end up on an adventure.

Adaptational Heroism: In the original fairy tale, the duckling's mother only half-heartedly tried to defend him from bullies and at one point he overhears her wishing he was gone. In this version, she's the only one who does care about Augustus and at one point can be heard frantically calling his name when he runs away. At the end, a grown up Augustus visits her and she's very clearly proud of who he's grown up to be.
