Loads of school children have been asked to say what film heroes inspired them.

Charlie Bucket, the poor boy who wins a golden ticket to visit Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. He came second in the awards.

He was also followed by one of Roald Dahl's creations: Matilda Wormwood, who was played by Mara Wilson.
