I loved the Depp version, it was perfect for the Roald Dahl creepy vibe, I thought it was really well done. (And it is a creepy story. Factory owner lures children with chocolate and they meet horrible fates, after all.) The Wilder version is so sanitized and saccharin, it gives me cavities.
But at least he didn’t use catheters on the kids!
