Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is Tim Burtons bold remake of Roald Dahls classic childrens story of a boy and a golden ticket. Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) closed his chocolate factorys doors years ago, but they are about to be opened once again. The aging Wonka wants to find an heir, so he announces a contest: Find one of the five golden tickets hidden in Wonka Bars around the world, and receive a tour of the company and a lifetime supply of chocolate. One of the five lucky children to find the tickets is Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a poor boy with heart of gold, whos always dreamed of something more. Tim Burtons film isnt so much a remake of the original 1971 film, but I faithful recreation of Dahls book. Of course, Burton brings his intense and vibrant visual style to the table. He makes the story his own while being true to the original.moreless
