CGiii Comment
Johnny Depp's Willy is...sinister...and, camp. What a lethal combination!
Burton has his trademark...taking a much-loved children's story and twisting it into something more macabre and unsettling than children ought not to experience!
This chocolate factory really is for an acquired taste!

The(ir) Blurb...
When Willy Wonka decides to let five children into his chocolate factory, he decides to release five golden tickets in five separate chocolate bars, causing complete mayhem.
