Wait, Was Willy Wonka Responsible For Charlie's Family Being Poor In Tim Burton's Movie?

Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory makes some changes to the beloved novel, and one, in particular, might point to Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) being responsible for the conditions of Charlie’s (Freddie Highmore) family. Tim Burton is no stranger to remakes and adaptations of other works, as seen with his feature-directorial debut Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and his Batman movies. In 2005, he explored the world of Roald Dahl’s children’s novels with an adaptation of the 1964 book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
