Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Taika Waititi is a busy boy. He is doing TWO animated series based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, one based on the “world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and another based on the Oompa Loompas.
Not only did Netflix say that they would retain the “spirit” of the Roald Dahl book, but they also said that this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship with the Roald Dahl Story Company. Could we be seeing a serialized version of Matilda,” “The BFG,” “James and the Giant Peach,” or any other beloved Roald Dahl story?
