Watching *WONKA* Had Me UNCONTROLLABLY Crying

[@nicolecolombatto35]

“It’s not the chocolate that matters, it’s the people you share it with,” sort of encapsulates how I feel about watching reactors on KZbin! The movies I love are made so much better every time I see another human appreciate them like I did the first time I saw them. Thanks for sharing your time and your tears with us- you’ve got a great sense of humor and a good heart. Keep these reactions coming please!

[@jaedenomen4556]

I never thought about it like that. I used to hate or really just not understand the idea of the channels but now my for you is pretty much only reactions- this exact comment is why.

[@StardustandMadness]

This, exactly. I love getting the same feeling when they watch something and love it as I did watching it myself for the first time.

[@alexandrarodriguez5383]

This is exactly it!!! It's like watching it together with a friend or showing someone a movie you really like :)

[@Ten_522]

You said it so perfectly.

[@elizabethfeuerbach5006]

Exactly!

[@vindicated30.6]

Man, I saw this in the theater, and when he started singing Pure Imagination, the whole theater was singing along. Easily second only to Gene Wilder himself.

[@Seijini]

Fr, I was shocked that people that watched this movie did not got sad. This movie shot me in the heart too😭

[@KyleRosenthal-pf7gu]

I don’t cry during movies but I was sad on the inside.

[@tree6787]

I was crying like a baby

[@Rpg_Zombie]

Bruh when you said “you can be my first Oompa Loompa little black girl” had me literally choke on a cookie

[@therealchillichannel]

I'm not a huge Chalamet fan, but I feel like he did really well in this film. At the end when he started singing Pure Imagination my heart melted and I cried.

[@Disney65Fan]

Same😂

[@tree6787]

Ditto

[@nightwingjosh8491]

"I wonder how Wonka met the oompa loompas in the book?" Basically as depicted in the Johnny Depp version, Wonka met them while he traveled the world, offered them safety from the wild animals of their homeland, offered cocoa beans as payment (since that's what they desire) for working in the factory

[@Blue.1889]

That’s the most book accurate version with the exception of the ending and backstory for him, from what I’ve seen

[@Disney65Fan]

Loved this film. The last 5 to 3 minutes had me bawling like a baby. The minute Timotheè Chalmet sung Pure Imagination and the girl reunited with her mom I was 😭 .

[@azayzelhoarde8913]

it really surprised me how magical this movie was tbh

[@TheMarvelousM]

Agreed, that's the only word to describe this

[@aricaj.3006]

I felt so vindicated when people who were preemptively hating on this movie (before it even came out) ended up loving it after actually watching the movie. Paul King is a master at making films like this. The minute I knew he was involved I knew it was going to be good. The Paddington films were the same way - I don't think anyone predicted they were going to be THAT good but they are, especially the 2nd one. They're honestly worth reacting to imo

[@PowerDiva]

I feel the same way. Everyone hating on it but I knew Paul King would do it justice. I also knew Timothee Chalamet was a triple threat who can not only act, but also sing and dance too. Not everyone really knew that before Wonka, so they didn't have the context to understand how good he could be in this type of role. So I also feel vindicated for everyone who said I was nuts to think this was going to be a great film.

[@Depth217]

Sometimes nothing is better than a wholesome fun family film that makes you cry buckets. ❤

[@amandathorndyke502]

Charlie Buckets 😂

[@lillyf973]

I saw this for the first time with a friend of mine. She insisted it was good but of course i was just like "yea yea whatever". In truth, i was in a very dark place in my life because i had recently found to have a chemical imbalance problem which was affecting evety aspect of my life (and also precluded me from eating sweets so i was in hell). I was so depressed but one evening she just pestered me to come see it with her, she knew how much i loved musicals so eventually i just went fine. But i gotta tell u, not only was this movie amazing but it was exactly what i needed to lift my spirits overall. Its been a long time since a movie has made me feel that way and at this point in my life, i could not be more grateful❤❤❤

[@juliannehannes11]

Same, depression from inbalance is hell and this movie lifted my mood for a short while too, I saw it in theaters 3× as this refuge Ps you have a good friend, hold on to them

[@laylagrant6140]

The ending had me in TEARS omg!!! I'm glad we got a Wonka origin story! I loved it

[@AnaSanchez-hx4ue]

Im glad I am not the only one that cried watching the movie… watching it in the movie theater I was not prepared at all

[@lilly50821]

as someone who couldn’t care less about this franchise i love this movie!!! we need more kids musicals with magic vibes like this!!!

[@MikeDang-pm4co]

That “come with me” song always hits hard in ur heart

[@StarrLead]

"A world of your own" is definetely my favorite song. It just brings me alot of child-like joy back to me

[@stephanierosario19]

I'm excited you finally watching this one..its one of my absolute favorites..at the end when he finally slowly starts to sing that first part of the Gene Wilder's song "Come with me ..." ..ugh I broke down in tears..the nostalgia of it all!.. I felt Gene all in that song.. btw if you don't mind I'd like to recommend you to watch 'Selena' please.. and or "Dead Silence" ..Thank you, I love your reactions Mell !🥰

[@gray7433]

The song for bribing the officer (chawclate) had me in stitches. I really loved the ending for this. It's grown on me enough that I'm pretty sure it's now my favorite of the three.

[@brianschwartz1372]

KEEP YOUR WRETCHED CHOCOLATE

[@Upriverarc8]

Movie Fact: If you pay attention to the score you can hear the next song play in the background before the actors sing it. Also when you see the officer visits the vault you can hear the monks humming the Sweet Tooth song.

[@Vampwars]

As a fan of the original film, I was a little hesitant to watch this so I waited until it was streamable. That was a mistake. I should’ve watched it in the theaters. Everyone did a spectacular job & it made me a fan of Timothée Chalamet. I also cried my eyes out at the end. One thing that upset me about the movie isn’t the movie, it’s the marketing FOR the movie. They should’ve said it was a musical. Also, at the theaters, they should’ve been offering Wonka Chocolate because those candy bars were my absolute favorite. They used to sell them at Toys-R-Us & I would visit there all the time just to get those candies. Also-also, they should’ve sold little Oompa Loompas of Hugh Grant. Like little Blind Bags of him, keychains, little statues, etc. The marketing really dropped the ball on this 🍫

[@juliannehannes11]

Yeah I had no idea it was a musical too and it pisses me off they're doing the same no musical marketing for Wicked

[@Chumber3403]

While Abigail the giraffe IS CGI, she’s completely modelled on London Zoo’s Molly (Molly’s never had a calf though, so you won’t get any milk from her, however nicely you ask!)

[@Sonicchuy17]

I’m crying with you in the end, Mello.

[@davidistakinganap]

This movie has been one of the best movies/shows I’ve seen in the last 5 years tbh. It was so good. It was majestic and beautiful. I’m not sure if this movie is the origin story of Wilder’s Wonka but if it is I rather it be its own thing cuz he’s extremely kind in this and then pretty cruel in Wilder’s Wonka.

[@eristineforever6934]

I love Wonka so much. It’s such a good musical.

[@burritogamer3984]

nahh bro same I was a wreck at that end, it's beautiful

[@jrobwoo688]

I was pretty surprised with this take on Wonka. I enjoyed it more than I was expecting. Please watch Mallrats.

[@crashacid1]

"Say.... would you like a chocolate covered pretzel, They’re a little melty, but damn are they delicious"

[@mitchellhp]

Yup, I had the exact same tearful reaction at the end. The way Pure Imagination worked so well for Noodle’s story just broke me.

[@iHATEsasuke1]

Bruh, had me crying… I’m now obsessed 😅with

39:48 “Dieabeetus.” - Wilford Brimley

[@itazuranakisu]

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. Loved the ending.

[@billramirez8686]

Bro! I've been secretly watching you for a while. You were actually one of the first reactors I started following. This was a good one. You had me crying with you. You're not afraid to be vulnerable and that's awesome. Keep them coming bud.

[@reedcoles1215]

hot take but I kinda like how they hinted how crazy wonka might be, just with the choclate, getting mad people have never had it, daydreaming, and, getting ideas from the stuff he saw. also noticed the branding sign right next to wonka at the sharing chocalte scene . I kinda like this verison more becuase, it shows how you can reach your dreams through diffrent hardships togther, after being stuck for a long time and, after that you got your dream. I feel like not many movies now a days have these messages not sure why.

[@cflournoy1529]

I really wasn’t interested in seeing this movie. But I caught it one night on tv and I really liked it. And the ending…….chef’s kiss❤️❤️

[@agenttheater5]

35:18 Never thought we'd get a 'Judgement has come upon you' vibes from a giraffe....

[@jackrobonson8682]

It's okay 😢😂 l cried at the end of Wonka too. I Loved the whole movie. Loved the singing at the end. The best ending ever 😅😅😅.

[@LandoniDrums]

43:01 I had tears in my eyes too.. from that sound you made Mellow! Lol

[@aaronthesaxman660]

This film was such a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect much out of it, but then I loved it. Wholesome, charming, optimistic, clean, family-friendly, magical. It just felt so good. I absolutely love this film.

[@GoddessGirl2121]

I will always love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Gene Wilder’s performance in that movie but I absolutely love this movie and it works perfectly as an origin story for a character as eccentric as Willy Wonka.

[@twistedracer961]

The movies that makes you cry and smile are the best movies you can watch

[@lucygarrett9785]

This movie really captured the feelings of the original for me

[@humanlegacy2165]

Yes! Finally a reaction where someone says that was the everlasting gobstopper lol. I always said it was because the original gobstoppers are colourful and you can see in this no chocolate actually goes into that machine.

[@adamyilmaz9531]

Loved this movie had no idea it was a musical! You will absolutely love Paddington 1 and 2! They are very good wholesome films that are a lot of fun!

[@StardustandMadness]

I wasn’t much of a fan of Timotheé’s until I saw this. He and the little girl who played Noodle are so fantastic. And Olivia Coleman is great in everything she’s in.

[@chanelhenderson8460]

Yea this got me in my feels too

[@juliannehannes11]

Yeah it ruined my mascara

[@swatson1523]

My biggest regret with this movie is that I didn’t watch it in theaters cause I was drawn in when I streamed it on MAX, but funnily enough that was the first video I was searched for of yours 2/3 months ago bc I had just watched your collab with BillyBinges doing Ted! I’m glad it’s here AND I got to discover all your videos in the meantime !!!!

[@Otisboy121]

Love everything about this video. The movie, the thumbnail, the reaction! It was a real Treat! Pun entirely intended!!

[@agenttheater5]

45:51 Fan theory is that the police chief went on a crazy diet and became slim in jail, and then became friends with the giraffe.

[@AngeloFluker]

🤣😭😇 I'm fueled with joy that you enjoyed the movie as much as I did. 💪🏾

[@NikkiKNuvo]

I was an emotional WRECK in the theater. I rank the original as #1, of course, but this is #2 for me. Depp rounds out a *perfect* trilogy at #3. There's no better story told to children than the tale of Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory. So magical and inspiring 🥹😩💛 even to us jaded adults.

[@frozenpiper2]

The scene with Wonka and Noodle with the balloons was my favorite part because of how visually stunning that scene was. My favorite song is A World of Your Own. I went to see the movie when it first came out. I was downloading the soundtrack as I walked out of the theater. It was all I listened to for a couple of days.

[@rakydia1332]

Me too such an a amazing movie have me tear up every time

[@brayathedarkangel]

I really loved this movie the messages in it were very meaningful

I love WONKAAA 🤣🤣😭😭perfect timing I didn't know what to watch❤❤

You wanna know the coolest thing about him losing that last sovereign? It’s the fact that he actually did break the record and we were stunned beyond belief! Never give up on your dream it’s just not worth it!

[@TheMarvelousM]

This movie truly surprised me, but I'm mad they didn’t bring the Wonka Bars back to promote this... Wonka bars were Delicious!!! 🍫 But Cannabis Dispensaries should also give their change in spendable or edible options.

[@myopinion69420]

The mud sludge bars were SO GOOD

[@TheMarvelousM]

@@myopinion69420 I loved the og but also the chocolate waterfall exceptional bars.

[@myopinion69420]

You have the best reactions! Love your sensitivity. You always have me crying. This movie was great!

[@zillalordstudios5409]

Watched this with my family. We were all surprised about how good & funny it was. Found myself tearing up at times. My mom kept arguing with me that Wonka went to Hogwarts because he could do magic tricks 😂😂

[@АлексЗ-й4и]

Man, I'm crying too! Thanks for your reaction

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite Willy Wonka movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

[@T.016]

Thank you for being vulnerable in your reaction, it was a preacious moment. Couple of fun facts: the scene for a world of our own is actually made by real chocolate (I don't remember if all of the room or maybe only the tree, but I heard this a while ago and there's a bit of an interview with the chocolatier that made it), the "good day sir" of the oompa loompa after he hit Willy with the pan it's a reference to the Gene Wilder same line said to Charlie's grampa when he asked for the life supplies chocolate , the chocolate in which Willy and Noodle should've died was actually real chocolate and the scene where Willy is singing with the old man "a world of our own" going one step foward and one step back it's another reference to Gene's Wonka going up and down the first time he's showing the kids the room with all the chocolate.

[@ms_styles]

Theres they guy in france that makes everything in chocolate. He’s real life wonka he’s everywhere on social media

9:27 this delivery absolutely slayed me. 😂 Actually a lot of the deliveries in this movie are really funny

[@TheMichaelm1997]

Fun fact: The Security Guard for the Zoo is Simon Farnaby who is one of the writers of this film.

You should watch the Paddington films. The filmmakers behind this made those films & they’re just as good as this film.

[@darienbanks69]

He def wasn't born yet. Grandpa Joe was probably taking care of his mom at this point.

[@zachpayne3533]

I'm right there crying with you, my guy...

[@avajones6835]

I find this movie to be similar to Cruella in the sense that it’s like the origin story to an alternate universe version of the character we know. I can’t imagine Emma Stones Cruella trying to kill dogs, and I can’t imagine Timothee’s Wonka trying to punish children. I think both movies work, they are definitely both fun!!!

[@joedouglas6968]

The editing is amazing 😄

[@AGM-f5d]

28:08 yep, "Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Musical". I recommend it, the West End version, the Broadway version and the most recent UK tour. It's a real fun watch and very probably the darkest adaptation of the original story.

[@mckellmeh]

all the a-holes in this movie are lucky they didn't meet grown-up crazy Wonka cause he probably have murdered them in creatively messed up ways.

[@juliannehannes11]

I wanted to hate this movie and came out loving it as much as the original. I was afraid they'd dumb it down and sanitize it from Dahl's dark humor but they instead added in classic Dahl tropes and kept the dark humor. I hope they make a sequel where he falls in love with a dentist played by Rachel Zegler who wants his chocolate banned in schools

[@MrMagicianJr]

26:25 either way they were gonna get backlash for it because movie studios get backlash when they cast dwarfs as like elfs, or the 7 dwarfs from snowwhite but then they also get backlash for casting someone tall in the role so they cant win really, either way theres going to be some idiot that isnt happy about it

[@Sekaniy]

I also agree about Johnny Depp version. It was dark, fun, and had catchy music. My sons grew up on that one. This one blew all of us away 😮 perfect cast, music, and timing. You really felt like you were on a journey in a happy place!

[@Thedarkromantic1722]

This movie took me by surprise. I really liked it too.

[@gad6319]

Yes they did make a broadway show Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and it’s a great show. I felt the added some nice stuff from both movies, but added so new stuff to make unique to the show. It’s a great show to see if you get a chance. I’m hoping they tour it nationally again because I’d love a chance to see it again

[@y.u.n.gg_tellyy]

My favourite song is definitely you’ve never had chocolate like this

This was loads of fun to watch. I enjoyed it alot. @MelloVerse I would like to suggest Hell Comes To Frog town starring Rowdy Roddy Piper. He's got more one liners in this one and entertaining as Hell.

[@KaiyaAquamarine]

I clicked this so fast seeing this! I loved this movie. It turned out so well in my opinion. I feel like it connected well with the original movie well - and that is my favorite version (with Gene Wilder). I was impartial to the Depp version - I know it is more accurate to the book and it’s good in it’s own way but I grew up with the original so has that Nostalgia I can’t overlook lol. This was my first movie I saw of Timothy’s so I defiantly became a fan of his because I think he did so good.
