I am not the biggest fan of musicals. I think there are many stories that can adequately be told without spontaneous musical numbers that feel, at best, somewhat bothersome.

With that being said, “Wonka” couldn’t have been anything other than a musical, and it told such a fun story through its songs. Throughout the past few months, I have rewatched “Wonka” a handful of times. Perhaps this is a word of caution, but I’ve found myself spontaneously singing its catchy songs in my head as if I’m in a musical myself while going about mundane daily tasks. Aside from “La La Land,” this is the only movie to get me humming its tunes.
