Danny Elfman on Creating the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Movie Score Music 2005 Soundtrack

I cut together Danny Elfman interviews in an eclectic way that gives flavor to the creative music writing process of movie soundtrack creation plus Danny's zany afflictions from his extensive doll collection and flair for the dramatic.

I highly prefer this film to the original not just because it’s more accurate to the novel but the Oompa Loompa songs are just so fantastic. Danny really knocked it out of the park with the soundtrack.

[@JosiahFickinger]

I definitely agree! He really captures the world they lived in perfectly!

Veruca Salt has always been my favorite of the movie !

The songs and choreography were my favorite part of the movie. Love the distinct genres. Glad to hear it was as much fun to produce...it shows.

This honestly might be danny elfmans best work...just cause how crazy and strange all the music is. He's a genius.

It’s honestly hard to choose which one is my favorite song form Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, they’re all so good!
