They’re perfect for your your rebellious kid sister who wants to express her individuality in a completely conformist way.
The “Life Had Never Been Sweeter” shirt comes from a line of dialogue (narration, actually) in the movie, which comes out July 15th.
You can find the shirts here. (Link dead, March 2011.)

You can find a lot more downloads, but still no “Cast and Crew” section yet. Ahem.

For now, it’s exclusively at Moviefone, but you can see it in theaters starting on Friday. It should be attached to Madagascar most places.
A helpful reader named Ethan pointed out that the [official site](http://chocolatefactorymovie.com) for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been updated with new graphics and photos.
