persepolis

If we want to involve Persepolis (and pair it with Thousand and One Nights), the movie version is similar enough in style and content to the original graphic novels that I think it would serve well.

Stardust is actually based on a different Neil Gaiman novel, not A Game of You, so it wouldn't necessarily provide a different-platform take on the same storyline. Stardust does deal with a fairy world, which functions like a dream world or a nonsense world, but the movie version condenses the original's story and themes enough that I'm not sure it would be as helpful to our discussion.

I think the plan that's currently posted (both versions of Persepolis, some Thousand and One Nights, no Stardust) works really well to examine different versions of the same story (different platforms as well as adaptations/evolutions).
