I'm going to say this about this movie... 1. Great songs - you can sing along and eventually learn them. 2. It may not be exactly as the book, but it's great fun and very entertaining. In fact, I think it is better than the book. 3. This is a fun-tastic movie and one of my all time favorites! As I purchased to replace VHS version, I am soooo glad I did because I wanted to see it again and this gave me a perfect excuse to fit into my day. Highly recommended!
Even today, as an adult, this is one of my favorite movies. Now that the remake is out, some may forget this one. But, this is a perfect time to visit the original. This movie stars charming Gene Wilder. The music in this is much more uplifting and the Oompa Loompa songs are more amusing. I do not want to do a comparative of the two movies here, because I like them both for varying reasons. What I do want to do is encourage you to watch this. It is brilliant. The story is magically wonderful.
This movie was a favorite of mine as a child. I was thrilled when it came out on vhs and then in dvd. I still have the golden ticket that I recieved when I went to the movie when it came out all those years ago. The reason I bought this one was for a gift. I had a couple of little boys over to watch it and they were thrilled. So I bought them the movie for halloween with a couple of willy wonka candy treats.
I needed it for the play we are doing in our Homeschool group. I'm using it to see how certain costumes were put together. It is great.
