I understand why a lot of adaptations aren't that good: too much content to adapt, abstracts that can't really make it in any other medium, the presumed difference in audience that makes production think nobody would be interested in a perfect adaptation, and the urge of directors to make the story their own or unpredictable to fans of the original. In context of adaptations, The Last Unicorn had the author working on the movie and it is maybe the most faithful I've seen an adaptation. It definitely helps to have oversight from the one who made it and keeping the majority of the dialogue 1-to-1 from the book. I just wish we got more unicorn and horse media that isn't blatantly for kids or trying too hard to not be.
