Over the past few years, it’s become increasingly clear that cartoons aren’t just for kids — nor are they just for Saturday mornings, either. And thanks to streaming sites like Netflix, animated shows and movies have only become more popular, and there aren’t any signs of that slowing down. To that end, Netflix is bringing back Matilda as part of their upcoming slate of animated series based on Roald Dahl stories. Sometimes, cartoons that are made for kids are just as enjoyable for adults, too. And if Netflix is planning on bringing everyone’s favorite magical reader back to the screen, then this will no doubt be a hit with all age groups.
On Tuesday morning, Netflix tweeted the announcement that the streaming giant would create their own new takes on some of Dahl’s most celebrated stories, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and The BFG — each of which have already been made into live-action movies that instantly became family classics. But you don’t need to mourn the death of originality just yet, because Netflix will also take on some of Dahl’s lesser-known works as well, according to a Netflix press release obtained by Bustle, turning them into limited, “event” animated series.
