Roald Dahl must be spinning in his grave over this travesty.
The quality of the actual animation is pretty good if unfortunately corrupted by ludicrous Americanisms that simply do not fit with the character of the animation, unfortunately nothing else in the movie was even close to good, the casting was wrong and completely altered the characters, in fact it has very little past the names of the main characters in common with the Roald Dahl book. The one star is purely for the animation, the animation is possibly worth more than that, but the rest of this disaster drags it down. Sadly the much loved original story has been utterly destroyed, by what has to be one of the worst screenplay rewrites ever!. To sum it up truly awful.
