Roald Dahl was amazingly dark, and though Wilder captured a unique and great vision of Wonka, he was not true to Dahl. The Oompa Loompas in Burton's film sing the songs originally in the book and many of the happenings are taken straight from the text. For this reason, I highly respect the film, although it's not necessarily as "kid-friendly" as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Burton’s version more closely follow the book and Dahl’s vision.
