When Warner Bros. decided to reboot the Willy Wonka franchise, some fans were skeptical. Many felt, after the Tim Burton remake with Johnny Depp in 2005, maybe the studio didn't know how to recapture the magic of the Gene Wilder depiction from 1971. There is a fiercely loyal fan base, after all, not just for the original, but Roald Dahl's novels in general. Luckily, this origin story that is retold in Wonka is filled with heart, soul and a modern update that is sure to resonate with families for the Christmas season.
