Terrific adapation of a really good book. Stays faithful. The look is terrific. A great childrens movie.
Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis:
Adaptation of Roald Dahl's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has all the ingredients of classic fantasy. Enigmatic Wilder gives kids a tour of his mystery-shrouded candy factory, but cruel edge taints film's enjoyment. Anthony Newley-Leslie Bricusse score includes ``Candy Man. '' Scripted by Dahl, with eye-popping sets by Harper Goff.
