If TV shows count: Earthsea.

It was such a poor adaptation that Ursula Le Guin wrote an article denouncing it.

"I didn’t see why everybody in science fiction had to be a honky named Bob or Joe or Bill."

Ohhhh... Pepperidge Farm remembers. I remember the family and I giving the series a try, and even without it being a bastardization it was a really shitty show.
