Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2005)

having just seen for the 1st time, I read the book to the kids and was surprised how much was packed into the film, and for those who have said they don't like the songs, the author of the book actually wrote all of them apart from the ditty at the beginning, which is very catchy like the one in Shrek when they do to find Lord Farquart In 10-20 years this will be shown as often on TV as the Wizard of OZ it really is that good and by far the best 'Famiiy' film of the past few years My kids loved the first one when I got it on DVD they are 3 and 7 but they felt this one was much better, and for all those who say that Dahl hated the first one, if you look at the film's credits, he actually wrote the screen play for 'willy wonka'
