Trivia:
Screenwriter 'John August' had never even seen Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) when asked by Tim Burton to write the script. After finishing the screenplay, he finally watched the 1971 version, only to be surprised at how much darker the "family" film was compared to his own.

Quotes:
[first lines]
Narrator: This is a story of an ordinary little boy named Charlie Bucket. He was not faster, or stronger, or more clever than other children. His family was not rich or powerful or well-connected; in fact, they barely had enough to eat. Charlie Bucket was the luckiest boy in the entire world. He just didn't know it yet.

The original Gene Wilder film is superb and original. A classic of its time, we have a saying in England "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Johnny Depp who is a brilliant actor gave me the creeps in this new version, I did not feel comfortable with my young children watching such a weird character. The props and sets are better than the original, but so they should be. Gene Wilder in the original film came across as an eccentric recluse, which was fine. This Tim Burton version went back into Willy Wonkers childhood, which I found confirmed the weirdness of the Willy Wonker/Johnny Depp part. The magic and charm of the original film, its script and story line should have been left along with the now carbon copied Oopa Loompa's.
