The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

I actually like Burton's version of Planet of the Apes better. Just kidding. I do however like his version of Charlie and the Choclate Factory better. I think it is closer to the book with the exception of the sections about his father. However, that is so nicely done by Christopher Lee, I think for the most part it helps to nicely flesh out the character.

The animatronic parody of "It's a Small World" that bursts into flame still kills me.

My only complaint is some of the musical numbers are not as good and strike me being easily dated.
