A Cool Candy Thing - Movie Edition Part 2

This week on the Cool Candy Thing Movie Edition we're going to look at the most candy related film ever made, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... or is it called Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  It seems there's a bit of a title discrepancy here.  There's also a great debate in the candy world (and probably the film world) as to which of these films is best.  Many people put down the Tim Burton film as being too weird and mean, but if you watch the original version, it's pretty strange and mean too.  Frankly I like them both, but for very different reasons.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory


This movie is great because it looks like a musical.  The sets look like something you could really walk into.


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


This movie is great because it takes the basic story and enhances it.  The factory was always supposed to be unreal, and this movie makes it bigger than life.
