Wes Anderson’s Roald Dahl shorts are being released as a fully fledged movie on Netflix.The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three Morearrives on March 15th.
While he couldn’t be there collect it, Wes Anderson would have been celebrating from afar this weekend as his movieThe Wonderful Story of Henry Sugarwon the Best Live Action Short Film Oscar.
Remarkably it was the director’s first win at the Academy Awards, and also the only win forNetflixat the 2024 awards (Maestrowas up for several gongs but failed to win). Now, following the victoryNetflixis wasting no time in stitching it together into a feature-length Roald Dahl movie, coming to thestreaming serviceon the 15th of March and titledThe Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugaris the longest of the four films and follows the title character (Benedict Cumberbatch) in a Scrooge-like story where a selfish rich man decides to use his special powers he learnt from a guru (Sir Ben Kingsley) for good. It’s a surprisingly sweet story that Dahl allegedly wrote to silence critics that his works always ended on a sad note.

Across the four films, you’ll see the same faces pop up as different characters. Forming almost a small theatre troop are Benedict Cumberbatch, Sir Ben Kingsley, Dev Patel, Ralph Fiennes, Rupert Friend and Richard Ayoade. I’m happy to say all are excellent.
Of course, you can just watch all of the shorts right now, but Netflix’s decision to package them up into one film basically makes them into another anthology movie similar to Anderson’sThe French Dispatch.
