His novels have been criticized for racist and misogynist elements, and he was openly anti-Semitic, as evidenced by interview excerpts such as: “I’ve become anti-Semitic” and “There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews … I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.” Roald Dahl’s legacy as a beloved children’s book author has been tarnished by his also being a BFG (bigoted fucking guy). This acquisition - which is still subject to regulatory approval - is an expansion of a deal that Netflix made with the Roald Dahl estate in 2018 to adapt many of Dahl’s works into “premium animated event series and specials.” The total production budget for those projects was estimated by the Hollywood Reporter to be between $500 million and $1 billion at the time, so one can only imagine how much BFG (big fat green) is going into this even heftier deal.
