Tim Burton's take on Roald Dahl's classic kids book about eccentric candy tycoon Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) and Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), the boy from a poor family who finds a winning golden ticket in a Wonka chocolate bar. The ticket grants him access to Wonka's fantastical factory, along with his grandad and fellow winners - the greedy Veruca Salt, media-obsessed Mike Teevee, competitive Violet Beauregarde and gluttonous Augustus Gloop.

Sydney Morning Herald
Sydney Morning Herald"The kids, their adventures and the song and dance numbers are so entertaining that Depp's strange Willy Wonka is not fatal to the movie, although it's at right angles to it."
