The number of children's movies that have parents dying seems ridiculous. I don't think they need that plot device.
@marcprecipice @allspaw @indec I'm not a fan of Dahl in any form. Too much delight in human suffering.

@avibryant@marcprecipice@allspaw There *is* delight in suffering but most of it, to my limited recollection, is more about comeuppance. -
@indec@marcprecipice@allspaw it is, but comeuppance via death and destruction is too unsubtle for me. Count of Monte Cristo this ain't. -
@avibryant@marcprecipice@allspaw That comes in the adult work@DanielleSucher referred to, as I recall. His kids work is, well, for kids.
