No, it actually didn't occour to me. He's pale 'cause he's been cooped up in his chocolate factory for years. He acts like a big kid 'cause he never had a chance to grow up, not because he likes kids. And when the children approach him (or anyone for that matter) he looks horrified and backs off. The character is a certified agorophobe and anthrophobe.

I'm not sure where Ebert's head is on this one, usually he's a halfway decent movie critic. I think he's been watching too much garbage TV like a certain character in the movie, and maybe eating too much chocolate like a different character...
