Because number one is it is animated and number two it was the film where I learned to let go and accept Wes Anderson movies for the movies they were instead of the movies I wanted them to be.

And although there was extra added to the movie that was not in the book, I think what was added enhanced the book quite nicely.

Tim Burton ALMOST did a movie that was true to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" but I was not happy with how he had to add in about Willy Wonka's father. I would have rather seen Burton end it in a way that he could do the sequal for "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" (I am like Roald Dahl, we both hated Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). CATCF was a long enough book that it really didn't need any extra added (although I liked the updated versions they did for Violet Beauregarde and Mike TeeVee giving them 21st century issues). FMF was a much shorted book and probably wouldn't have had enough material if Anderson didn't add a bit to it. What he added worked with the purpose of the book perfectly!

the Tim Burton film was not near as good - I'm not interested that it was true to the book - The original movie was way more entertaining
Johnny Depp was no Gene Wilder

I thought the Boy Scout character was great.
