Tonight Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original) was on ABC Family. I quickly wondered why I ever thought that it was a good movie. First off, Willy Wonka is CREEPY! The sing-song voice and the creepy eyes screams child molester to me. Then there's Agustus Gloop (?) who takes a swim in the chocolate river and get sucked up into the tube. Where does he go? Does he die? Does that happen to every kid who disobeys? Very traumatic in my opinion.
Then Violet...sweet, snotty Violet. She's so cocky and arrogant you just want to slap the smile off her face. She smacks on that "special" gum and turns violently violet. When the Umpa Loompas roll her away, it just about sends me over the edge.
I guess it sent my brother over the edge too. To this day, he's a little weary of little people. I think he's afraid they're going to take him away forever while singing "Umpa Loompa doopity doo..."
And we wonder what's wrong with kids today...
