I much prefer the slightly creepy and ominous drawings of the older editions.
The illustrator of the original artwork is a man called Quentin Blake. This is the first I have heard of his illustrations being replaced and I am disgusted. Blake illustarted all of dahl's books.
And what? Now the pygmies are white and fanciful? I am white. are they calling me a pygmy? are they saying I am fanciful just because I'm white? Goddam racists.
And as for King Kong, while I'm not against the remake, the original Harryhausen Kong was a breakthrough in animation and without pioneering movies like that CGI etc would not exist, so back off the original Kong and show him some love.
