This is a terrific film that will appeal to the kid in all of us. The filmakers have truly captured the spirit of Roald Dahll's classic book and brought it into the modern age with witty screenwriting and excellent voice talent. The stop-motion animation is a refreshing throwback to the days before computers were doing most of the work. A lot of love and care was put into this film by it's creators and it shows. Highly recommended!!!!

This show is one of those little gems that may not generate the most viewers (it airs on AMC, which isn't known for original programming), but does not get overlooked by critics and the viewers it does attract. The numerous awards this show has received is a testament to it's quality, which rivals that of HBO and Showtime. The care and attention to detail make this a rare period piece that feels truly authentic. Highly recommended!!!
