Walt Disney referred to Roald Dahl as "stalky" due to Dahl's tall and slender physical appearance. This comment was made during negotiations for the film adaptation of Dahl's book, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Disney's remark was likely meant as a casual observation rather than a derogatory comment.
