It is speculated that Walt Disney called Roald Dahl "stalky" due to Dahl's abrasive and critical nature towards adaptations of his works, specifically the film adaptation of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Dahl was unhappy with certain aspects of the movie and voiced his discontent publicly.
