Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities: Dreams in the Witch House (2022)
Episode 6, Season 1
The Disneyfication of HP Lovecraft

The original short story by Lovecraft is an absolutely terrifying nightmare, and might be one of the better works of the master of cosmic horror.
This adaptation however is completely neutered and Disneyfied, like many things are these days... For examples of this, look no further than Rupert Grint's cartoony hair-do and the fact that the villain of the piece has an actual Disney-style sidekick in the form of a broad-accented, human-faced rat. A truly embarassing hour of television. The Harry Potter generation might get a slight kick out of this, who knows, but this should be avoided at all costs by lovers of the writings of HP Lovecraft.
