Charlie and the chocolate factory

 

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964) is a children's book by Welsh author Roald Dahl. This story of the adventures of young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate factory of eccentric candymaker Willy Wonka is often considered one of the most beloved children's stories of the 20th century.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was first published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. in 1964, and in the United Kingdom by George Allen & Unwin in 1967. The book was adapted into two major motion pictures: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in 1971, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2005. The book's sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, was written by Roald Dahl in 1972.


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is also a 2005 film, based on the 1964 Roald Dahl children's novel of the same name. The film was directed by Tim Burton and stars Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket, and is the second film adaptation of the book. It is also the second film based on a Roald Dahl novel worked on by Tim Burton. It became a box office success and received positive critical reaction. It received an Academy Award nomination in 2006 for Best Costume Design.

My favorite is still the original movie with the actor soundtrack (recorded 30 years later). It's so funny. Congrats on becoming a Giant Squid!
