What Will “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar” Be About?
“The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,” written and directed by Anderson, is a charming adventure comedy short film based on stories from Roald Dahl‘s 1977 collection, “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More.” It focuses on Henry Sugar, a wealthy man on a quest to find someone who can see without using their eyes.

The film is not going to be long since it is going to be only 39 minutes. However, critics have already said it to be among Anderson’s best works. This film even debuted with a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
This is not the first time that Anderson adapted Dahl’s work. Before this project, he adapted “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” a stop-motion animated film that was released back in 2009. When asked about how he figured out the way to approach a Roald Dahl story, Anderson answered, “When I finally had the moment of inspiration, the idea was: ‘I am equally interested in the way Dahl tells the story as I am in the story itself.” He continues, “If I do it using his words, his descriptions, then maybe I know how to do it.”
