Willy Wonka fans of the 1971 movie

Here's a great interview with the actors who played the kids:

I saw the movie when I was 5 years old in the theater. My mom had to take me out of the theater when Violet blew up. Wayyyy to scary for me . It gave me nightmares. Years later I loved the film.

But the Depp version was much closer to the book. A little weird with the sheep scene, but still closer to the book.
