Design/Approach/Methods: Excerpts from book and animated movie versions of the same story are compared using multimodal analysis of interpersonal meaning to show how the reader/viewer is positioned in relation to the characters in each version, complemented by analyses of ideational meaning to show the effect of point of view on interpretive possibilities. Findings: Focusing mainly on multimodal construction of point of view, the analyses show how interpretive possibilities of ostensibly the same story are significantly reconfigured in animated adaptations compared with book versions even when the verbal narrative remains substantially unchanged. Originality/Value: The study shows that it is crucial to students’ critical appreciation of, and their creative contribution to, their evolving digital literary culture that in this new era of educational technology, attention in literacy and literary education focuses on developing understandings of digital multimodal narrative art, and that animated movie adaptations are not presented pedagogically as isomorphic with, or simply adjunct to, corresponding book versions.  \nCorresponding author:  \nLen Unsworth, Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education, Australian Catholic University, North Sydney Campus, Level 2, 7 Mount St, North Sydney, PO Box 968, North Sydney, NSW 2059, Australia.  \nEmail: [len.unsworth@acu.edu.au](len.unsworth@acu.edu.au)  \nCreative Commons Non Commercial CC BY-NC: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative  \nCommons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 License ([https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)) which permits non-commercial use, reproduction and distribution of the work without further permission provided the original work is attributed as specified on the SAGE and Open Access page ([https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage](https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage)).  \nKeywords  \nAnimation, children’s literature, multimodality, point of view  \nDate received: 25 February 2022; revised: 13 September 2022; accepted: 1 March 2023  \nIntroduction  \nThe integration of literature and new technologies continues to evolve, maintaining a longstanding trajectory of literary adaptation and innovation with the ever-changing development of films and new communication technologies. Novels, picture books, and graphic novels are increasingly being adapted as animated movies. This world of narrative versions is the norm for young people growing up in the 21st century, and this important cultural phenomenon warrants explicit attention in English language arts classrooms. The convergence of new developments in digital animation, along with the burgeoning of renowned contemporary literature now readily accessible as animated movies, and the recognition by societies and education systems of the distinctive narrative art of digital animated literature represents an important aspect of a new era for educational technology as a significant creative form of multimodal social semiotic in the 21st century.
