One of my children used to call it ‘getting the feeling’ when he was especially excited about a book, film or cartoon ... He ‘got it’ with Roald Dahl’s The Magic Finger, with the stunning and scary animation Spirited Away and, I’m so glad to say, he ‘got it’ when I asked him to read Harry Potter and The...
Roald Dahl has written books that appeal to pupils of all the primary ages. The language he has used is very varied and they also have made-up words which make them more interesting.
It's just something we haven't done ... If you go back far enough, there were the golliwogs and we had a while with Roald Dahl, but that didn't really get traction with consumers. We looked at this 18 months ago but, unfortunately, when we were looking at it Paddington appeared on TV with Marmite so we ...
Tim Burton’s films are usually a bit different to their originals. His version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was very different to Roald Dahl’s book, so it will be interesting to see what he does.
Wes is like his puppets, very excited and happy to find new ideas and colors and sounds ... It was a crazy, funny experience. We wrote a song, using the lyrics from Roald Dahl's book. But, there again, it was puppets so we had children sing it.
We decided to have the day to help the children with their own writing and reading. The children were invited to dress up as characters from Roald Dahl's books. We had some fantastic costumes, including Oompa Loompas, Willy Wonkas, witches, and lots of Charlies.
Roald Dahl never forgot what it was like to be a child and that’s what is so great about his work.
I love Roald Dahl and so do children
Roald Dahl and Edward Gorey were enormous for me as a child ... and when I started doing this, I definitely kept them in mind.
Roald Dahl's classic story has been one of my favorite books since I first learned to read, and it was an amazing experience to work with my many, many very skilled collaborators and bring it to life as a stop-motion film!
The whole process of making the movie was about was trying to imagine what Roald Dahl might have done with this if he were here to make the script ... We had to make it a lot longer and add more characters. ... I'm a fan of his whole body of work, and I spent a lot of time at his house, in his archives,...

I remember trying Roald Dahl’s The Witches
I wrote it between our two children being born. I wanted to write something that might have the same sort of effect on a kid as the books I read when I was young had on me. I can remember exactly where I sat when my teacher first read Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach. It's like the cement is still...
'Fantastic Mr. Fox' is quote unquote fantastic. It is also very Wes Anderson, whether he was intending to make it so or not. ...;(It's) based on a children's novel by Roald Dahl ...; but it reminded me more of a cross between a 'Wallace & Gromit' film, Spike Jonze's brilliant 'Where the Wild Things Are'...
I was always just thinking about Roald Dahl
Blake illustrated nearly all of Roald Dahl’s books, but this is his first authorship. It’s about a clown who was born in a garbage can and ends up in a happy family.
The book is about a family but the way that the family is fleshed out comes from Noah's experience and mine ... As we were writing it, our goal was always to make it seem like something that Roald Dahl would have written but, in fact, it comes from our imagination from a certain point onwards.

@lauriepink I like Clotilde's name, apart from the fact that she sounds like a Roald Dahl villain.
