A feature film version was initially put into development by Vanguard Animation in February 2003. However, the project was evetually scrapped. It was was initially conceived as an animated series in 2021, but it was later turned into a feature film in April 2022 after Netflix acquired the Roald Dahl Story Company.Stay tuned for more updates.
