Line 8:
The book was made into a 1996 live-action/stop-motion animated film from Disney, directed by Henry Selick (who also directed ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''), and with songs written by Randy Newman. Despite doing poorly at the box office, and getting lukewarm reviews upon release, it has since become a cult-classic and is one of the better adaptations of Dahl's work, though it can be considered... trippy.

* [[Abusive Parents]]: James' aunts, Spiker and Sponge (for a given definition of "parent").
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: In the original book, the only major trouble in the journey is the confrontation with the Cloud People. In the movie, there's a mechanical shark, a trip to the North Pole with undead pirates and facing the Sky Rhinoceros.
