A fantastic new movie version of Charlie and the Chcolate factory was released in September 2005. Starring Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore this is a retelling of the story that is more truthful to the book by Roald Dahl.
Packed with humour and action this magical movie reminds us all of why we love Roald Dahl so much. If you enjoyed the movies why don't you discover (or maybe rediscover) the books of this unforgettable author.
“Roald Dahl was a total chocoholic. He absolutely adored the stuff....If you were invited to dinner at Roald Dahl's house, at the end of the meal, you'd be offered a red plastic box containing all of Roald's favourite chocolates - Twix, Kit Kats, Rolos, Smarties, Flakes and Maltesers.”
Quote from D is for Dahl
