The Newsblog is very excited at the prospect of the return of Roald Dahl's Oompa-Loompas.
Tim Burton is finishing a new screen version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which is due out next year, starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.
Today's Telegraph reports that Dahl's work is red hot in Hollywood at the moment.
And of course it was Willy Wonka's helpers, the Oompa-Loompas, that stole the original 1971 movie, with their rendition of the Oompa-Loompa song, which went a little like this ...
Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets
Eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you at, getting terribly fat
What do you think will come of that
I don't like the look of it
Oompa loompa doompety da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
