I don't think anyone was asking for a prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that isn’t actually adapting a book, but I'm glad they made one because this movie was really fun. Most of the songs were good, it was really funny, and it captures that sense of wonder you probably got from watching the previous adaptations. It wasn't super in depth or impactful, but it was just fun and a good time to watch.
It really is a shame that Disney screwed this movie over at the box office, because it's really good. The blend of 2d animation and cgi is solid, the sense of wonder and adventure are there in spades, the characters are fleshed out really well with a cast that's more diverse than anything Disney makes a big deal about today, and it's just a great experience to watch.
I need to watch this movie again. I remember it being a good and simple movie but it could just be nostalgia.
