SynopsisCharlie, a young boy from an impoverished family, and four other kids win a tour of an amazing chocolate factory run by an imaginative chocolatier, Willy Wonka, and his staff of Oompa-Loompas.

[@LiveHedgehog]

This movie is probably THE most accurate book adaptation ever. Down to small stuff like the 5-second glimpse of the chocolate fudge mountain. Anything that's different is additions on top of what was already there, essentially.

Only a few things that match modern times and the removal of a few trivial things. Such as Mike's love of violent gangster shows changing to shooting games and the reason Mr. Bucket lost his job (which also sets up the Bucket family doing well on their own for the new epilogue). Some things like the Square Candies that look 'round would have just been a bit too random, yet would take up a bit of time to explain the joke (plus it definitely would have required CGI, which Burton wanted to use only when necessary) and focusing on all the floors labeled in the Great Glass Elevator.

[@walkofnails2923]

Yes! I also find it impressive that the man who played all of the Oompa Loompas did every dance number multiple times instead of them just recording him doing the dance once and using cgi to copy him into different spots. So in that first number when the fat kid was stuck in the tube, he did the dance at minimum 40 times in each individual spot that was marked. If you look closely, you will see small differences. He worked hard for this and was brilliant. His name is Deep Roy

the original author hated the 1971 version so much he refused to let anyone adapt any of his books again even Charlie and the chocolate factory until he died, this was made with the help of his wife after he passed to make a version he could truly be proud of.

Perhaps Dahl should have finished the screenplay he was doing in time so that they would not had to bring in the other guy to finish it?

[@calmsquirrel7124]

People didn’t like depp in this film?!

[@charliemetsaar]

For me it was that Willy Wonka was a character that was fantastical, he had no need to have a backstory and his original actor wanted him to be mystical. When I saw this as a kid I liked it but the original made it feel like the adventure inside the factory was mystical due to the fact Wonka lies and fakes all throughout the movie! Can we trust him? Should we? Now that he has a backstory it made it feel like he needed sympathy, it made him into a character that felt sad when he supposedly could be that in the original. But the story should be focused on Charlie and his family IMO. Never thought of this movie as bad or anyone in it, but it's not as "imaginative" as the original where we have to imagine a lot of things. Wilder is Wonka to me. Ps. Don't hang me! Just my opinion... Lots of love from Sweden! :D

​@@calmsquirrel7124 mostly because everyone compared it to gene wilder's willy wonka from 1971 and thought he was a poor imitation of the character from that movie, even though depp's performance - not to mention the whole movie, apart from the dad dentist bit - is much closer to the original depiction of the character from the books.

Tim Burton based the office of Willy's father in an event he lived. He had a rough relation with his mother because she didn't believe he would make it as a movie director, but when he was told she was about to die he went to see her, she had in her room posters of the movies Tim Burton directed. Despite being in bad terms, deep inside she was proud of him for achieving his dream. He set that with the newspaper cuts the dentist had in his office, that despite hating the idea of Willy becoming a chocolatier, he became someone he was proud of and still loved.

Everyone who says the old version is better than this movie clearly has never read the book or knew that the author himself absolutely HATED it.

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

The ending wasn't at all accurate. The ending would have negated most of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Still, the misuse of the de-ageing pills was kind of redundant as the grandparents insisted on taking four when they knew one pill aged them down twenty years and then blamed Mr Wonka for giving them those tablets like they didn't get greedy and take too many. If they'd taken three, they would have at least been in their late teens or twenties, but nope, there were two babies and a minus because they all aged themselves down eighty years and Grandma Georgina wasn't even eighty to start with - at least Grandma Josephine was three months past eighty and Grandpa George was eighty-one. I reckon they should each have given a pill to Grandpa Joe and then all four grandparents could age down sixty years. Then they blamed him again for ageing Grandma Georgina too much when he couldn't help it, and then he aged her down to her original age easily, and she was still half inclined to scream at him when he aged up the babies because she was convinced he'd get it wrong when he never got it wrong in the first place, it was their own fault they took too many pills.

For the Chocolate Room: The Chocolate Room was built on Pinewood Studios' 007 Stage in Buckinghamshire, one of the world's largest soundstages. Production designer Alex McDowell insisted on having the river look edible. Burton wanted the river to have a real chocolatey feel and not just brown water, so they came up with a faux chocolate concoction, taking months to create a non-toxic edible substance with the right consistency. The final mixture was a mix of water and a thickening agent known as Natrosol, with food dye used to achieve the brown coloring. Wonka's boat took 20 weeks to build and incorporated 54 animatronic Oompa-Loompas, along with its own internal rowing mechanism! For the squirrels: A good number of them were real! In total, there were 40 real squirrels, which were professionally trained by The Nut Room Animal trainer Michael Alexander and his team. They spent a total of 19 weeks training these squirrels for this one scene. The squirrels were trained to sit on stools while they opened shells and dropped them onto a conveyor belt. Originally they wanted to train 100 squirrels, however due to the fact that squirrels can be difficult to handle and unpredictable, they trained 40 and the rest was animated in afterwards.

Cinematography note here: the further they get inside the factory, the colors drain away. Do with that what you will. It's not just Wonka that's getting washed out, the factory is too. He just made a huge technological invention, and there's no joy in it other than for advertising candy.

[@thomaskilroy4573]

Child…Dahl’s Wife is INFAMOUS for saying he’d like stuff he wouldn’t. You clowns that call this film more accurate are DISABLED!!! The film is accurate in different ways but INSULTS on the book in more ways than even the 70s version!!! The ONLY reason Dahl disliked Wilder’s Wonka was because he was American and he was given too much focus!!! That’s it. HOW THE FUCK WOULD HE PREFER DEPP?!?! Wonka is a hyperactive kid in a man’s body who jumps around the place, is theatrical, intimidating and yet magical to be around. The Factory and Wonka are supposed to be the same thing. Wonka is the personification of the Factory itself and the Factory is an extension of his own self. In the book Charlie literally describes the factory as the most wonderful place in the world. Because Wonka is supposed to be the most wonderful man in the world, and someone that kids are in awe of. Since when the flying fuck is Wonka an awkward, nervous Michael Jackson-like weirdo who “doesn’t care” about kids (to use his own words) and doesn’t even care to hear their fucking names?! Just listen to the way Burton talks about Wonka as a character and it’s painfully obvious that he failed on a spectacular level to understand him.

One word to describe, wholesome. This is one of my favorite childhood movies.

[@itsjustme8873]

I feel like every kid may symbolize the 7 deadly sins, even if there's only 5 of them featured. Charlie was the standout since he didn't come from much, and wasn't raised to favor chaos over authenticity. Veruca (greed, the rich kid), Violet and her mom - who the daughter unquestionably takes after (pride), Mike (wrath), Augustus (gluttony), and Charlie being the most charitable. But I feel like he also may semi-portray the observer in this film's version. Even Seb himself had mentioned some of the adjectives to describe the kids, and the Oompa Loompas vaguely/explicitly mentioned it in their songs. Perhaps Willy Wonka himself serves as Envy in this film's version, seeing as how he grew up being forbidden to indulge in sweets. So, perhaps seeing these kids get to fully indulge in what he himself wasn't permitted to do (under the watchful eye of his father, at least) made him feel more bitter towards the majority of tots who'd won his golden ticket? But, from what I'm familiar with in children's tales, this tale is cautionary in terms of a karmaic/be careful what you wish for" message.

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

There were originally several more kids, so you're probably on the right track. I don't remember most of them, but one was a child whose parents were permissive and let her do whatever she wanted. In the Roald Dahl museum, the desk has a draft of the Oompa-Loompa song about her attached. It's likely there were just too many kids and some were too similar to each other, so the number got whittled down from fifteen to five.

[@Ancientship]

I think violet is more envy than pride and in this film mike was definitely prideful

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

The Smilex toothpaste is another reference to a Tim Burton movie as Smylex was the codename for Joker's poison in the 1989 Batman movie. When Wonka passes by the pink sheep in the glass elevator, the reason he says "I don't want to talk about it" is because that is a reference to Ed Wood, another film by Tim Burton that Johnny Depp starred in. And Depp's character in Ed Wood had a fondness for pink angora sweaters. The lyrics for the Oompa Loompa songs came from the book. While Danny Elfman worked on the soundtrack, Daul is credited with the lyrics as all four songs utilize lyrics direct from the book. The Oompa Loompa actor is Deep Roy. Roy had extensive training for the role in dance, yoga, and some minor instrument playing. Tim asked him to play five Oompa Loompas, but five quickly became 165. He said how for example there were 21 of them in a scene and as he acted out each one, they'd bring in professional dancers because he of course couldn't do all 21 at the same time. Deep Roy's dedication in stepping into all 165 roles prompted Burton to call him the "hardest-working man in show biz". The Augustus Gloop song is a Bollywood spectacle because that was Deep's suggestion! And for the vocals, that is Elfman's voice with pitch changes and modulations!

It's MUCH closer to the book than the Gene Wilder version. In 1971, the studio took Riald Dahl's screenplay, and ripped it to shreds, and made their version of what they thought it should be. Roald was so furious, he forbid any more adaptations while he was alive. He hated the 1971 version so much, he would go out of his way to avoid watching it.

[@videohistory722]

Regardless if you find this Wonka off putting, this is actually more realistic considering he now has a back story. When you lock yourself away for 15 years, not to mention never getting closure on what happened between him and his dad, which made him bitter and misanthropic, this is actually close to what would come out of it.

[@videohistory722]

The bucket house is actually the reason the movie got the green light from Roald Dahl's widow. Why? It's based off of Dahl's famous writing shed. It's common knowledge that Dahl hated the original, so naturally she was protective of any future adaptations. But when she saw the house, and found out they'd designed the Bucket house like that on purpose? That sold the deal for her.

I can happily say I enjoy both versions of this film for different reasons. Wilder’s is definitely more grounded and slightly sinister, and it feels more like a “film”, if you get what I mean. While this version feels more imaginative, like the book, and has that kind of uncanny, gothic whimsy that Burton does so well, especially with Depp leading the cast.

[@Smuglicense9359]

I personally have always liked the first one more, i know it's way different from the books but i think it's more entertaining, and i'm not saying this one is bad either.

[@thomaskilroy4573]

When Mike Teavee is in the television and screamed "help me! help me!", it's a callback to the original version of The Fly (1958) where two people found a fly in a web screaming "help me! help me!" exactly as Mike did.

The horns of the first song are stellar. Really sets up the horror whimsical nature of the whole film perfectly

[@Aurochhunter]

I think Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka is more accurate of the human condition. Gene Wilder's portrayal makes Willy Wonka seem like a wizard who can do anything, but in this version we can see that even someone as brillant as Willy Wonka is not perfect.

(And fortunately he takes the lesson to heart) 30:38 Apparently reality warping powers are a family trait. 38:24 i like the detail that Willy and his dad both have the same coat and gloves.

Freddie Highmore who plays Charlie had previously worked with Johnny in Finding Neverland and Johnny had been so impressed with him he recommended him for the part of Charlie.

[@videohistory722]

Burton was completely against using CGI if he could help it, and this is another example. All the squirrels you see? They're real. In fact, they're rescue squirrels that Burton specifically hired someone to train them to do all these scenes. He even named them. If you really want specifics, the real ones are whenever you get a close up of one, when they first attack Veruca's stunt double, and when that one squirrel pushes the dad in after her. Also, apparently this is supposed to be ironic. She exploited nut workers to get what she wanted in the beginning, tried to do the same thing here, and it backfired.

FUN FACT The guy who played the Oompa Loompa, shot each scene individualy to make it look non copy n pasted. Meaning he did the dance a ton of times, just a foot to the left or right difference each time. If you add each Oompa Loompa's screen time together, that guy is a main character

[@videohistory722]

That's right, even after saying no, Charlie still hesitated. Yes, even though he wants away from his life of poverty, he still said no. He knows he's giving up the chance of a lifetime, and he really doesn't want to give it up. But he still does because he's so close with his family. Basically what I'm saying is because Wonka had no support system, he's now walking away empty handed.

[@orange_turtle3412]

The thing child wonka is wearing on his head is orthodontic headgear. Its essentially an archaic dental device they used to attach to your braces to help fix your bite. Its not used very often anymore, due to more efficient and more visually subtle alternatives being a thing, but it was fairly common back in the day.

[@videohistory722]

A version where everyone survives, and the parents are stuck with the results of their parenting style. Augustus: mom didn't stop him from overeating. Veruca: dad wound up in the garbage because of him spoiling her. Violet: blue because her mom pushed her to pit herself above the others. Mike: let technology be his son's only babysitter, and never stopped him.

This whole scene with Wonka and his father is based off when Tim Burton visited his dying mom and found out she made a scrapbook of all his movie posters. And now I'm wondering if that in any way influenced his work on Big Fish

This is - and was Johnny Depp at his absolute best. The acting is so authentic. He really lives the role here. But its no just him, pretty movie every actor cast here did very well. Lovable and authentic characters. The movie is wholesome as is the story told behind it. I know its based on a book, but still, the movie was great and kept pretty close to the book.

As others have said, this version is pretty close to the book. Wonka in the book was pretty jovial and flippant, but not quite as child-like as this version. The biggest change was Wonka's backstory, which I don't think was ever talked about in the book. The songs, though, use the lyrics from the book.

[@a.g.demada5263]

If I remeber well of something I read, yes the backstory was add. Roald Dahl's widow herself said it was very close to the book

[@knowledge-girl]

Roald Dahl actually came up with the idea. He also wrote "The Witches" and "Matilda." The songs were actually poems in the book. Funnily enough, the 1971 version "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was also a musical, but the songs were all written for the film except the scene where they're going through the tunnel.
