FMyth asked this question on the artcone forums: So… What do you think of this lol?

“Johnny Depp may deny that he had Michael Jackson in mind when he created the look and feel of Willy Wonka, but moviegoers trust their eyes, and when they see Willy opening the doors of the factory to welcome the five little winners, they will be relieved that the kids brought along adult guardians. Depp’s Wonka — his dandy’s clothes, his unnaturally pale face, his makeup and lipstick, his hat, his manner — reminds me inescapably of Jackson (and, oddly, in a certain use of the teeth, chin and bobbed hairstyle, of Carol Burnett).”
