20	* ''Donkey Xote'' (2007), Spanish CGI animated film. Notable for starring a donkey that looks ''far'' too similar to the one from ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'', and [[TheMockbuster as a result being repackaged as "Donkey X" at least once to raise the confusion]].

37	* ''Segundo tomo del ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha'' ("Second volume of the ingenious hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha"), better known as "Avellaneda's Quixote", is a 1614 [[FanFic unauthorized sequel]] written by "Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda", a pen name of [[RiddleForTheAges unknown identity]] believed to have been a personal enemy of Cervantes, as he [[HateFic insults him]] in the book. Cervantes was so incensed with this book's existence that he wrote the official ''Part II'' to prevent it from becoming popular - and succeeded, to the point people [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece only know of it today]] because it is disparaged in Cervantes's book.
38	* ''Moxia Zhuan'' ("The story of the Enchanted Knight"), the first version of ''Don Quixote'' published in China, is a 1922 [[ForeignRemake remake]] of Part I by Lin Shu, who didn't speak Spanish or any western language, but transcribed the story as it was narrated to him by a friend reading from an English 18th century translation. The story is slightly different due to a mix of [[BlindIdiotTranslation translation errors]], [[GossipEvolution broken telephone]], CulturalTranslation, and AuthorAppeal: Don Quixote is a more dignified character ''because'' he keeps true to older traditions and rejects the absurdities of modernity; Sancho is his disciple instead of his servant; and all references to Christianity are excised, so the curate is a doctor. It went [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes out of print]] in 1934 until it was rediscovered by the Cervantes Institute and published in Mandarin and Spanish in 2021.
39	* ''Monsignor Quixote'' (1982) by Creator/GrahamGreeneAuthor is a {{pastiche}} that follows a priest who thinks he is a direct descendant of Don Quixote despite everyone else pointing that Don Quixote is fictional, as he rides an old Seat 600 through post-Franco Spain while in the company of a former Communist mayor (nicknamed Sancho, of course). Had a TV film adaptation starring Creator/AlecGuinness in 1985.
40	* ''Quichotte'', a 2019 novel by Creator/SalmanRushdie that reimagines Don Quixote as an elderly [[LocalReference Indian-American]] salesman who becomes infatuated with a TalkShow host and decides to reach her while accompanied by his [[ImaginaryFriend imaginary son]] Sancho.
