It seems like they really are going for a 1:1 adaptation. So, unlike other IPs that have had unfaithful (and shitty) live-action adaptations, this one will live or die by how well it manages to create the magic and heart of the original. It might come off as soulless, because things like "heart" are so intangible (unlike plot points and character lines) that it's incredibly difficult to replicate.
