If Wonka hit the spot, these will too

Both are Paul King's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Easier on the dream logic than Wonka

Both keep coming back to the same thing: musical
The difference: Takes it somewhere less uplifting than Wonka does

Two things both keep coming back to: factory and chocolate
The difference: 52 years apart, and the 1970s show

The same mix in both: wit, then play
The difference: Sits closer to adventure than Wonka does

Both land warmth and comfort at once

Both are built on the same subject: candy

Common ground in both: joyous and amused
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Comedy built on dream logic, twice over


Family with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Playful fantasy, and it commits to that

Both lean on warmth more than on comedy
