@boomerang,
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
Edward Norton's Bruce Banner/Hulk from The Incredible Hulk with Scout Master Ward from Moonrise Kingdom!
It's a really short film where the military loses all interest in pursuing the character.
(I'll try harder with the plot change next time. This is merely a warmup).
I had a feeling you'd show up and I'm glad you did!
Here's one:
Jimmy Stewart's character Jeff Jefferies in "Rear Window" is replaced with Elwood P. Dowd from "Harvey".
Jeff and his pooka, a 6 foot tall invisible rabbit named Harvey, solve a murder after Harvey slips into a neighbor's apartment.

I'll replace Alan Rickman as Professor Snape with Tybalt from Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt does not kill Mercutio. Romeo does not kill Tybalt. Juliet isn't forced to marry Count Paris. The love Romeo and Juliet have for each other convinces their families to see past their differences. The couple is happy until Tybalt organizes for Juliet to walk in on Romeo and a female servant in a compromising position. Juliet dies of grief. Romeo stabs himself in the heart, consumed by guilt. Everything is sad again.
