since i was posting about the movie into the woods with johnny depp i thought i'd segue to charlie & the chocolate factory which he also starred in ~
also chocolate is always appropriate in leading up to valentine's day ~
this cool activity book has a fun cutout boat from the film ~
i liked johnny's oddball version of willy wonka but i must admit my favorite is still the original willy wonka movie starring gene wilder, & the boat scene in that movie is my favorite part ~
there's no earthly way of knowing
which direction we are going.
there's no knowing where we're rowing
or which way the river's flowing.
is it raining?
is it snowing?
is a hurricane a blowing?
not a speck of light is showing
so the danger must be growing
are the fires of hell a glowing?
is the grisly reaper mowing?
yes! the danger must be growing
for the rowers keep on rowing
& they're certainly not showing
any signs that they are slowing!
if you watch this old movie on tv on a channel that cuts scenes for time & content, i've found that the boat scene is usually the first scene to go, too ominous for today's kids? ~
i actually went to see the newer movie on my birthday wearing my golden ticket shirt ~
the dvd ~
by tim burton from 2005 ~
this movie poster in our playroom was a free giveaway when you purchased the dvd ~
the vintage gene wilder film ~
from 1971 ~
but I want an oompa loompa Now!
