Fantasy. *Charlie* and the Chocolate Factory on the other hand, where WW is a psychopath played by Johnny Depp... more like a comedy. Def the better version.

You sure the original wasn't a comedy? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. https://youtu.be/nnum-Qi22bA

The beauty of Dahl’s stories is that the were at the same time and almost in equal parts horror and fantasy

My mom (a 1st grade teacher) worshiped Dahl; read me the books before I saw any films; took the time to explain to little me how movies & books could be very different. The book is more of a horrorshow than the Gene Wilder film, but the latter is still horrific in its own right.

Horror straight up they try to hide it behind some Whimsy Musical but that boat ride let slip what it was all about and I know none of those other kids made it out alive.

Horror until the beautiful redemption at the end. To this day I can't watch that film or Wizard of Oz, but I tear up at the end of Willy Wonka.

legit took me a second to figure out why anyone would find the movie scary kid me was easily frightened, but *i* wasn't about to enter heaven and then immediately start *breaking clearly stated rules* so it didn't seem scary

I suppose technically Roald Dahl is magical realism
