Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? (non-tagged spoilers)

To me, the DL references really popped out. Pirates' waterfall, Tower of Terror/elevator-cum-skyway, Small World, fireworks, 3D movie glasses dispensers, of course the Matterhorn...

I thoroughly enjoyed myself on the first outing. I responded to the humor. And I dig on wee Freddie Highmore (who isn't so wee anymore, as he's now my height, 5'6") so actually my favorite parts of the movie involved family, not the factory. As Aud said earlier, I really detested the backstory (like I did for Howard's Grinch) but it didn't get in the way of my enjoyment of the other bits.

Second time around, though, I actually fell asleep. It didn't hold me captive. I wonder if I was, to quote somebody witty, stoned on nerd juice of pre-Potter and -fiftieth.
