Why are there seven Al Pacinos?
Pop artist Dave MacDowell takes on Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, with Al Pacino Oompa-Loompas. Say hello to my little candy friend!

While I loved the Tim Burton version of the film, I always have a special spot in my pop culture heart for the Oompa-Loompas. It may have something to do with my summer working at a candy factory making Willy Wonka candies. True story. (Thanks to Funktards for reminding me about MacDowell.)
