I thought the movie was a blast. I got even more joy out of it after hearing the theories that it's actually a sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I don't know how much the original creator actually intended that, but when the first few previews for the show were coming out, they actually played an arrangement of Pure Imagination, so someone's at least aware
Haven't watched the show myself, yet, but my girlfriend actually just binged through it recently and she loves it. So I'll have to give it a shot soon.
