The Neverending Story on the other hand is just a novel which could fit very well into it. But I read that the film with distributed by Warner Bros. so they might not be able to take designs from the film (but imo I think they could come up with much better designs, the movie is already very old) Well I can see Wonka on the show maybe I want Wonka as a warlord with candy powers. Who kidnaps little children by seducing them with a world made out of candy. But he ends up using the children for ingredients in his candy... why do you think his chocolate bars taste so good? That's not that much of a stretch. The Oompah-Loompah's implyed that Augustus Gloop was going to be turned into candy so everyone would love him, instead of hate him, in their song. Of course, Wonka said that the Oompah-Loompah's just have a weird sense of humor, and all for children are seen alive and able to walk (I wouldn't say okay though), at the end of the book. I always thought that Augustus Gloop was unfairly criticized for having an eating disorder... Fat shaming and all that... It was implied that the children were mean, besides their "talents" of eating, gum chewing, getting everything, and tv watching, which we're also portrayed as negitive traits. At any rate, it was also implied that the children were willfully doing what they were doing, so I wouldn't say your supposted to sympathize with any of them. In fact, at the end of the 2005 movie (which is more acurate to the book than the 1970's one) as the kids leave it seems they are rather unfazed by what has happened to them, and it is their parents who had an eye opening experience.
