I went into this thinking it'll be rubbish (having enjoyed Roald Dahl books when i was a kid) but no: It turns out it was a right laugh. It was genuinely funny, the crime caper angle was great and the stop-animation is incredible. 

In fact I'll go so far to say this a benchmark for adaptations: It stayed true to the source whilst adding new elements. Which goes to show that such a thing is indeed possible
