Not sure about that as some are dead (the Baron) and most are in there 70s or 80s except the kids.
I so agree that much of the movie could be cut out. As much as it doesn't follow the original book I think the two movies in one should stay (all the vulgaria parts) but the film does take forever to get going, even the car race at the beginning goes on and on for ever. Seems we are a third the way in before the car even appears.
The child catcher does not give me thoughts of a pedophile either, I don't think he wanted to even touch kids let alone more. The hook he carried though gave me airy that he may rip babies from their mother's womb, most scary thought!
As an adult I can say I love to see the baroness in all her hotness, but really what were these scenes of attempted murder by her husband doing in this flick? I am sure, just like the play version, this would all go away in any remake. (too bad) Truth is as much as this was a kids movie, the writers and directors were all from warped backgrounds, with many Bond movie connections. They brought lots of this to the movie right down to naming the female role Truly Scrumptious. and adding scenes of attempted murder of a hotly dressed woman (the baroness) all very bond like.
As much as Ian Fleming wrote this book, it had none of his Bond style in it, all had been added for the film

The original characters, not the original actors who played them. Slight difference. :D
I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?
