Black Charlie In Animated 'Willy Wonka' Is Just The Ticket On Twitter

Netflix’s planned animated version of Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”  prompted one artist to create a black version of Charlie, the lad who wins the golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s candy palace.

The internet thought it was a sweet idea.

Author and illustrator Vashti Harrison (“Little Dreamers ”) posted images Sunday of her Charlie, prompting fans to give their enthusiastic green light. And they urged Netflix , which is developing an entire series of Dahl works, to consider it.

Your move, Netflix!

A retweet by filmmaker Ava DuVernay got the ball rolling elsewhere.
