I must admit that I never saw the version of Willy Wonka with him in it, only the Tim Burton version starring Johnny Depp. I did enjoy it but somehow, I think I would have enjoyed the original version so much more.

I remember watching it at my grandmothers i think, and even though i never created worlds to play in from it, i did imagine finding a golden ticket inside every Hershey chocolate bar I opened for awhile. <br /><br />And the lickable wall paper, i always wanted that!

Though I have to say, as a kid, I remember thinking, well, if I have to choose, I'll take the fate of Augustus Gloop. . . somehow, even as a kid who myself couldn't swim, the chocolate river was less frightening than suddenly turning blue and needing juiced! :)<br /><br />Thank you for dropping by Stacy!<br /><br />Big Wonka HUGS!Nicolas Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126974984715446831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732555737950593061.post-37130556797268863522016-08-30T16:28:11.895-07:002016-08-30T16:28:11.895-07:00I love Willy Wonka!
