Agustus Gloop digitally created?

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2005)

My wife suggested to me during the movie that Augustus seemed like an animated character so we were both paying very close attention to this during the show. Neither of us had heard this mentioned from anyone prior to the seeing the movie. It is very suspicious that there seems to be no other information available about this so called Philip Wiegratz. Apparently, there is also some confusion about his age and where he is from. It would be very politically correct and believable that Hollywood would create a digitized character for a child who is ridiculed to this extent. The whole thing seems very "simone-esque".
Anyone know anything?
