I haven't seen the whole thing since it came out in '71, but I am actually enjoying it. Unfortunately I keep thinking of the Family Guy rip-off of it and laughing at the wrong times.

3. A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
Depp's Wonka is emotionally and socially retarded. And none of the kids were very interesting.

But the Futurama parody is far superior to the Family Guy rip-off. :)

4. Futurama did a good send-up of it too.
The Slurms McKenzie episode, which is probably my favorite.

I loved both the original and the new one. The Johnny Depp movie is more true to Roald Dahl's original book. In the new film, the lyrics to the Oompa Loompa songs come straight from the book.
