3 reasons why I wanted to catch the show.
1) I gave this Ronald Dahl’s book an A for my P6 book review.
2) Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.
3) Freddie Highmore. Loved him after Finding Neverland (No, not the Michael Jackson kind of love).

Johnny Depp is creepy as Willy Wonda, a mysterious man who kept his chocolate factory out of bounds for 15 years. One day Willy Wonka makes a momentous announcement. He will open his famous factory to five lucky children who find golden tickets in his chocolate bars.

Much of the backdrop in the chocolate factory, such the chocolate river, marshmallow plants and squirrel room was not CG animation. This added to the authenticity of the story.

Is this a children’s or adult movie? A bit of both. At certain parts, you feel it’s pointless like the Oompa Loompa dancing aka Austin Powers. Still, it’s magical, crazy and zany. Kind of felt that Michael Jackson would have made an interesting Willy Wonka.

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory – Sweet and delicious, but doesn’t really melt in your heart.
