Melissa Cobb, Netflix’s Vice President of Original Animation said in a statement that she lived in the magical worlds that Roald Dahl had built in these books. She said that it was very difficult to find the right person to help such an esteemed project until Taika Waititi walked into the project. Netflix also released a statement that said that they aim to “retain the quintessential spirit and tone of the original story”. The series will also be seen “building out the world and characters far beyond the pages of the Dahl book for the very first time”. It will be interesting to see how the entire series will turn out to be for fans who have grown up watching it.
