I seriously rented it nearly every weekend when I was a wee thing. :)

I wonder why I never bought it...

Veruca was my favorite because her dress was way better than Violet's pant suit and I liked her little song-and-dance with the geese that lay the golden eggs and their colorful wrappings. But this Violet's outfit is much improved! (I have to admit I haven't seen the remake in its entirety. I feel as if I am betraying my childhood.

This is the best Lego Wonka-just as Gene Wilder is!

But the time we get to Mike TeeVee's shrinkage, I'm bored. And I never was scared. My favorite areas of the factory are the Fudge Room and the Inventing Room (?)...who cares about a shrunken candy bar?! That's just silly. ;)

Check out this awesome French version:
