***** - This is a very simplistic, yet extremely beautifully made and highly detailed stop-animation film written and directed by Wes Anderson and based on the Roald Dahl children’s book. While the basics (story, characters, some dialogue, etc.) of the original book are present, this movie adds a great deal to what would probably be about a 20-minute short if only material from the book was used. It starts out a little slow, but soon gathers steam, and is aided by some very funny lines and great performances by most of the voice actors. There is an aspect of it that would probably retain the appeal to children of the book, but this film version is definitely geared more toward the adult set. The designs of the scenery, characters and backgrounds are superb.
