I read the book a long, long time ago. I have some sorta pictures in my head of it. But i'm not sure if:
a) I invented them out of my imagination
b) They were the illustrations in the book. (they seem kinda Dahlish)
c) They were from the caroon.

No, my pictures are different so i can't have seen the cartoon. That giant just looks like Japetto. It's not Dahl-y enough. Dahl's drawing are always
a little messy and deranged, while that cartoon is very disney and misses the point.

I love that Disney-description... I actually own the video, but I don't know why, how or when. Haven't seen it all through either.

Finished Fabian, great book! Some very quotable lines:
-Shut your mouth, or else all the wood-chips will fall out.
-Leaving already?
-Yeah I can't resist the urge to puke any longer.

It is good, but I think I preffered The Football Factory, also by John King.
Havent read Headhunters yet though, so dunno about that.
Id say get it from your library, rather than shell out for it!
