Step 1 : Introduction to the question "7. Eccentricity was the key to both Gene Wilder's original performance and to Johnny Depp's reprisal of this role."
...1. Dr. Dolittle 2. Willy Wonka 3. Charlie Bucket 4. Tarzan Willy Wonka was a brilliant candy maker, who had been content to make his masterpieces while shut away from the world, with only his beloved Oompa Loompas for company. Intimations of his own mortality caused him to seek an heir, and he opened up his factory to five children who were being tested for their suitability to inherit. Gene Wilder gave us a happy but eccentric Wonka in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (1971), whereas Depp's portrayal was a little more withdrawn and socially awkward, in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005).
