What 2005 kids film was directed by Tim Burton?
Answer
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
Answer
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
The 2005 kids film directed by Tim Burton was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The film adapts Roald Dahl’s 1964 children’s novel about Charlie Bucket, a poor boy who wins a Golden Ticket and tours Willy Wonka’s mysterious factory. Freddie Highmore played Charlie, while Johnny Depp portrayed Willy Wonka.
It was the second major film adaptation of Dahl’s story. The earlier version, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, was released in 1971 and starred Gene Wilder. The two films have different titles, which is a common source of quiz confusion, although both follow the same basic story.
Burton’s version was filmed largely at Pinewood Studios in England and featured practical sets, including the Chocolate Room. Danny Elfman composed the music, and Deep Roy played every Oompa-Loompa seen in the film. Burton later directed another Dahl adaptation, the 2016 film James and the Giant Peach? No—the 1996 film James and the Giant Peach was produced by Burton, not directed by him.
