We'd been wanting to watch this film ever since Emma found out about the Nut Sorting Room and all the squirrels. She's also a huge fan of the director, Tim Burton, so it was inevitable that we'd see it eventually.

The visual style is in keeping with many of his earlier films, with the usual attention to detail with the sets. There's just about the right level of humour to keep things going. The only real problem with the film was Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. His Michael Jackson style performance rapidly became quite annoying, which was a shame because otherwise it would have been an excellent film.
