Stellaluna (2002)
Don't bother
Even speaking as someone who does not remember the book that well, this movie was not an enjoyable experience.
There is very little focus on the lovable Stellaluna adapting to life as a bird, and more focus on her antagonistic adopted siblings. Flap in particular is especially unlikable, while Pip is at least tolerable. Three completely unnecessary characters were added as well: Askari the spider is difficult to like thanks to his inflated sense of self, and a voice that reminds me of Snips from "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", but not in a good way. Horatio and Kazuku, a pair of fashion obsessed birds don't take up as much screen time as Askari, but were equally pointless.
The only really good things I can say about this were Stellaluna herself, plus her song "My Whole World's Turned Upside Down." which can be found on Youtube.
Stick with the book.
Mr. Bogus (1991)
A little known gem
I barely remember this show from my childhood, but what I do remember is that this was one of the funniest things ever. Too many times did I laugh myself sick at the little yellow gremlin's antics.
The idea is simple enough, a tiny yellow gremlin-like creature lives in the walls of a house, causing trouble, although I remember no ill intent, and always getting himself into the oddest situations, and speaking in a rather blurred voice, which was almost as funny as his antics
"Toow cwowded in here!" was just the sort of thing you'd hear, and yes, that's how he pronounced it
It's a shame it was so short lived, may the memory of this show rest in peace
