Netflix to adapt Roald Dahl works into animated series, including 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'Matilda'

I’m fascinated to see if they tone any of these down; The Twits has some gloriously gross stuff in it. And Charlie & the Great Glass Elevator is a bizarre book heavy on 70s-era political satire, racist caricatures, and surreal scenes of Charlie’s grandparents aging up and down magically.

Besides those, I’m most excited to see their adaptations of Boy (his autobiography of childhood) and Henry Sugar (the story of a gambler who can see through playing cards).
