I had heard about Dahl's feelings about the movie (perhaps influenced by the treatment of Oompa Loompas? they were changed from being black pigmy's in the book itself some time after it was published and after the movie was released) (you just couldn't have black midgets living essentially as slaves of a candy maker at the time, heck it's not really kosher now) I don't think it will be as bad as I feared (Planet of the Apes) but it's still on my "wait for the DVD" list.
