	SparkNotes: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Chapters 1 and 2
		Charlie’s house sits on the outskirts of a large town that is famous for the Wonka chocolate factory.
		Charlie’s four grandparents—all of whom are over ninety—require constant care from his mother, and his father’s meager wages barely buy enough food for their family.
		Indeed, Charlie’s mattress lies within the shadow of the factory, and he is constantly bombarded with the sight of overabundance while he himself is nearly starving to death.

		Young Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) is so plucky and likable, and comes from such an eccentric and marvelous household, that the wonders inside the chocolate factory are no more amusing than everyday life at the Bucket residence.
		Charlie sleeps in a garret that is open to the weather, and his four grandparents all sleep (and live, apparently) in the same bed, two at one end, two at the other.
		Charlie and his grandfather join wide-eyed in the tour, and there are subplots, especially involving Violet Beauregarde, before the happy ending.

	Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Bucket says about their meager supper), establishing a Dahl-esque magical hyperbole that sets the tone for the upcoming visual and emotional segue from grim industrialism to the larger-than-life characters and vividly colored, imaginative scenes inside the chocolate factory.
		Of the children who accompany Charlie inside the factory, Augustus Gloop and Veruca Salt are two for the ages, but Mike Teavee was stuck in a 1960s cowboys-and-Indians rerun, and Violet Beauregard’s gum-chewing habit seems less the scourge it did forty years ago.
		Charlie, naturally, refuses to leave his family, introducing uncertainty to the foregone conclusion and enriching the relationship between the two characters, which is only cursorily sketched in the book.

	"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" - Salon
		There are problems here and there with Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," problems that seemed extremely significant to me as I watched the movie but now, two days later, have melted into a syrupy puddle of abstraction.
		"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is absinthe in movie form, a white chocolate space egg of a picture that has a giddy hallucinatory quality in some places and an overcalculated glossiness in others.
		The dialogue is reasonably faithful to the source material, at least in its tone, and Danny Elfman has written a handful of mildly catchy songs using Dahl's original lyrics, which have to do chiefly with the diabolical pleasures of squeezing spoiled fat kids through giant tubes and turning gum-chewing brats into huge, floating blueberries.

	The Tim Burton Collective - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
		Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is arguably Burton's first kid's film since Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and, as a pure sugar-rush of light-hearted entertainment, it's almost impossible not to enjoy.
		We meet Charlie Bucket, the poor but kind-hearted boy who lives in the shadow of the ominous Wonka factory.
		Towards the end, when Wonka reconciles with his father (their relationship is told in some wonderfully grim Burtonesque flashbacks) and learns from Charlie the value of family, the film does finally show its heart.

		What Depp and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's director Tim Burton have done here is to preserve Dahl's plot, while giving it a few vigorous tugs and twists to take account of some of the ways children have changed since it was written.
		The basics are the same, for Burton, too, operates on the assumption that children like stories that arouse their demons as long as they can be assured that, when the crunch comes, those same demons have glass jaws and wobbly legs.
		Young Charlie Bucket lives with his loving parents and two sets of equally doting grandparents in the poorest house in his neighbourhood.

		Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a sweet-natured English boy, and the entire Bucket clan of parents and grandparents live together in a rundown shack.
		With the exception of the sweet and virtuous Charlie, each is a horrid example of a particular vice – greed, selfishness, gluttony and sheer mean-spiritedness.
		Although Charlie lives in a crooked shack, where there’s barely enough money or food to get by, he is surrounded by people he loves and who love him.

		Burton was amazed to realize how closely his designs for Charlie Bucket’s ramshackle house resembled this structure and Felicity Dahl confirmed it was very likely the author’s inspiration for the Bucket home.
		What touches August most about the story is that, “even though Charlie is very poor, and he doesn’t have much to eat, he lives in a little house with all of the people that he loves — mother, father, and both sets of grandparents.
		When he later offers Charlie the grandest prize of all — the factory itself with all its wonders — and Charlie refuses to accept if it means leaving his family behind, it gives Wonka pause.
