I may be the only one of my peers that has no memories of the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I blocked it all out years ago. I have deep seated issues with Gene Wilder that I'm always happy to noise about (it's the bleary eyes). I also have a fear of midgets of which I'm much less proud. Not to mention my phobias concerning drowning (especially in food), fat kids (remember the blond boy with the bugle in The Last Crusade? shudder), and dance numbers.
Surprisingly, I have no problems with squirrels.
Really, not the film for me.
So, I'll be sitting it out and waiting for Burton to wake the hell up and make Alice like a good little crackpot.
