Wow. That's all I can say. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was my absolue favorite movie as a kid and Willy Wonka has always held a special place in my heart. The new movie was funny, heartfelt, and sweet and it truly captured the spirit of the original film. I thought that Timothee did a fantastic job portraying the quirky, quintessential Mr. Woka himself, and I adored his origin story. The music was fun and catchy and the whole movie was like a giant, glittering tribute to chocolate itself. The sets and special effects were incredible, and I thought that the candy shop scene with the giant tree was so clever and fun. I felt like a (pun intended) kid in a candy store! All of the cast did an incredible job and I loved how some of the original characters such as Slugworth and the Oompa Loompas made appearances. The ending was so heartwarming and (I'll be honest with you) I bawled my eyes out when Timothee sang "Pure Imagination". What a lovely tribute to Gene Wilder and the original movie. The ending was so satisfying and I loved, loved, LOVED, the origin of the famous Golden Ticket. After we left the theater, I felt like singing in the middle of the street and throwing candy to people. This movie truly made me feel like a kid again. I hope that anyone who watches it feels the true happiness and imagination that this film encapsulates. HATS OFF THE THE FILMMAKERS! AMAZING JOB! 👏🍫🎩

I'm not joking this is the most amazing show I have ever watched. Understanding the Bible can be tricky but this show really helps me relate to the Bible and the Apostles. The actors, costumes, and sets are just incredible and I was holding back tears when Jesus did the Beatitudes. Plus, the show is 100% nonprofit. They rely on donations from fans which is really cool. I hope that people who need God in their life watch this show because it really makes the people in the Bible seem human. All in all this show deserves more than 5 stars ❤️
