For anyone yearning to hear the world “chocolate” rhymed with “hands in your pock-o-lit” there’s Wonka (now streaming on VOD services like Amazon Prime Video), the new musical prequel to the 1971 Gene Wilder classic and Roald Dahl adaptation Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Paul King, who helmed two snuggly-wuggly Paddington movies, directs this origin fable of mercurial chocolatier Willy Wonka, here played by Timothee Chalamet, who may have whiplash now, considering his previous role was as a lovelorn cannibal.
