Did Roald Dahl dislike the cinema?

Answer 1

Roald Dahl did not dislike the cinema. He actually wrote a couple of screenplays himself, including a James Bond movie. I believe this question comes up a good deal because of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Dahl wrote the beginings of the screenplay, but it was taken over and heavily rewritten by another screenplay author. Dahl was so dissapointed in the movie that he stated he disowned it.

Answer 2

Roald Dahl was open about his dislike for film adaptations of his work, feeling that they often failed to capture the magic of his books. However, he did acknowledge some successful adaptations, such as "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory."
