Georgie is shown to be a lIttle more cautious and alarmed when he interacts wIth Pennywise. In the It (1990) miniseries, he's a lIttle more naive and somewhat trusting. In this film, Georgie's clear visible discomfort of Pennywise is more evident, especially after Pennywise' mood shift when he stops laughing.
