I KNOW. I always read my "childhood" books at the wrong time. Heck, I'm in my 20s and reading Harry Potter for the first time. I'm so behind. But I loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so much (Johnny Depp is perfect) and I also love Danny, Champion of the World and Matilda. Like a lot.CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-33299543957206601762014-08-16T09:31:39.476+10:002014-08-16T09:31:39.476+10:00I remember reading this such a long time ago, in e...I remember reading this such a long time ago, in elementary school, but I didn't really have a preference between the two films.

It's just something so remarkably magical, it's hard to imagine that so many kids these days would bother because it's not animated. I might watch it this weekend actually.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-62396255431658429912014-08-14T20:48:18.382+10:002014-08-14T20:48:18.382+10:00Me too.

The original movie, Willy Wonker is a lot creepier isn't he, but the remake is more quirky and eccentric and closer to the book.

I loved the snark from Willy Wonka, I think as an adult I can appreciate his sarcastic humour even more.

If you loved the remake, give this one a read, just too funny.
