Yep, just the Depp one. But it's "eatable"
You are correct, my good sir/madame
"But Oompa Loompas aren't humans, right? So they're fair game!"

In the original story, they were rather unfortunately depicted as looking like African pygmies. They were later made to look more inhuman so the forced labor would be okay.

Wonka
rowan atkinson steals the show in everything he's in. quod erat demonstratum it's a rowan atkinson wonka.
Fair enough
Only marginally darker than the original.
In the original he wouldn't have been horrified cause he probably already tried one himself and he meant what he said.
RIP, the only Wonka in my heart

Everything here's edible too, once
Oompa Loompas were always edible.
