I used to have issue with the original 1990 film adaptation, but compared to this it was as faithful as heck! My main issue with the 90s version is that they turned the boy back into a human at the end. This version did not do this, but they failed to realise why Dahl had him stay a mouse. The poor man will be cartwheeling in his grave! So many great artists were involved in the making of this abomination, both in front and behind the camera, it boggles the mind as to why it turned out to bad!

"There’s just so much on this: It’s a double album and by the time you finish it—if you can finish it—you can’t remember what you heard at the beginning. I liked that,” he said of Beefheart. “It was anti-music in the most interesting and insane way, like kids learning to play violin—which I was going through at the time. So all the bum notes I was being told off for by the teachers were finally being released by well-known artists. “That was my confirmation. From then on, there was room for everything"

"I saw this film in its original run, with foley artists, a live orchestra, and live narration by Crispin Glover, which was a profoundly unique cinematic experience. It is not often you see modern filmmakers experimenting with older techniques and to such great effect. Seeing it again on DVD, I found it equally incredible; its story about a fictional Guy Maddin is compelling. Guy has been a real influence on my film work, and his films just seem to get better and better. As a fellow Winnipegger, I can truly say that Canadians are very lucky to have him."
