[@sam7687-i9b]

Yea im a 90s baby and its still the best .

[@peggyknecht5551]

I loved all of the actors in this movie. I always cry when Charlie's mother sings "Cheer up, Charlie". I love Gene Wilder, and he made me jump when he yelled at Charlie.

[@robertzukowski5400]

No doubt, willy Wonka has become the wizard of Oz of our day. I'm 66 and still love to watch it often. I had a thing for Veruca. Thanks for a great movie.❤

[@gavinstrachan1373]

I wouldn’t consider the 4 children as villains. They are more just spoilet! R.I.P Gene whilder 1933-2016 Also R.I.P to all of the other people who have died! God bless you!

Really? Peter ostrum is an actor. I thought he would've made a big lot of films by now.

@@paulmacartney8266 Was. He mentioned that being an actor isn't what he wanted to do.

[@NicoleMacera-rd1ru]

I really liked Gene Wilder in this movie because he was my favorite actor, people wanted him to be remembered as Willy Wonka. I loved Jack Albertson in this movie and I liked the way he portrayed the voice of Amos slade in the animated movie “The Fox and the Hound”, he was very good at it.

[@Dremag_Gaming]

He also did pretty good on singing in the movie as well (for someone that's not one)

[@jadekeatingking5824]

Sad thing is though he died shortly after the movie was released

[@markbiscuit]

The film is a classic its shocking how many have passed away

[@DixiePokerAce]

Sadly, the movie is over 50 years old.

[@shellh2012]

As much as I love the Tim Burton version, this original is a classic, and I watch it at least once a month. Love it.

I don’t! They should Never have made that God Awful Movie!!

Personally I have always been a Gene Wilder fan, especially in Blazing Saddles.

[@heathergabbysalomon3614]

Yes I was looking for this comment. I agree , my dad and I were just talking about him and what a great actor he was. We love Blazing Saddles its a classic

its so sad to me when any of my childhood actors are gone...I just can"t live with it...I want to go with them...

I feel very lucky to have been able to see it in the theater when I was 6 years old.

In my book this version of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is the best.

[@francisraffle2948]

Willie wonky and the chocolate factory as the best film .I watch it now and again and I'm a little girl again .

[@andywinslow9638]

Tragically old? It's good they remained alive and Gene lived to be 83 dying peacefully in his sleep. Nothing sad about that. BTW I met Peter and Julie. Nicest people

One of my ultimate favorite movies growing up! I met Gene Wilder at Borders Bookstore In San Diego when he was promoting his autobiography with his then wife In maybe 2010. Not certain about the year.

[@katepustay304]

Last I checked Peter Ostrum still has both legs

So disrespectful

‘The cast is tragically old’. Everybody ages, nothing tragical about that

The thing is your not dead when your dead I mean your not out of feeling pain or suffering anyways.

Rip gene Wilder he'll be missed

[@KennethAkin-me9je]

He's not resting in peace he's actually rotting in misery and if he was cremated then holy guacamole, there's no heaven and no such thing as no pain after your dead that's for sure.

Getting old is a gift, not a tragedy.

[@chrispoe8404]

One hit wonder, but it was GREAT!!!

[@SevenTailedWolf72]

I loved grandpa Joe.

[@rangerfanboy1710]

What was the deal with the thumbnail portraying Peter Ostrum with a missing leg? It was ad when Gene Wilder passed away, he was one of the last lead actors in both Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein to go. I think my favorite scene in the 1971 film was Violet's inflation scene but I always liked the character of Grandpa Joe

[@pegallen6983]

They do that with ALL their thumbnails! I guess they think people won't watch without a clickbait photo showing the actors in abnormal ways to gt those views up

Sad that those actors, who passed, are gone from us. But then, NONE of us are getting out of life, alive.

[@caliwebman]

Actually most of us get get out alive as it is not life after death, rather it is life after life! And all of us will be there accept those who have raped or murdered in cold blood, or simply refuse to entertain the idea that a God exists. So, if you believe that a God could indeed exist, we will see you there, and this entire cast will be there too!

[@riverguy75]

Geez what's up w/ showing Peter Ostrum in a hospital bed w/ a leg missing? Also, the mother of Augustus Gloop was played by Ursula Reit not Pat Carrol. Did they think just because she had the first name "Ursula" they could link it w/ The Little Mermaid voice actress??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@jm7804]

completely irresponsible

[@skylarelizabeth8075]

it is creepy that everyone that has died from this movie died all "died suddenly"

[@KarenSDR]

I was puzzled by that until I realized he was saying "sadly," not "suddenly."

Julie Dawn Cole became a successful actress starring in the BBC series Angels. I recall she left the profession quite a while ago

What's with the clickbait thumbnail?? A simple image search reveals it to be that of a Wayne Ball of Tasmania (with a different head superimposed)

[@jm7804]

What a hack job. Everyone gone starts with sadly. Everyone here starts with living a healthy life. First of all, there's nothing sad about someone living a full life and passing in their 80s. And just because someone is alive does not mean that they're living a healthy life. Obviously some of them are not the picture of health. And a clickbait thumb. Peter is not sick and in the hospital. He's healthy and works as a vet.

I am not sure how accurate Movie Anniversary's age descriptions are; I have seen his video about the "Marry Poppins" cast; and I am sure he was wrong about how old Julie Andrews was when she played Mary Poppins; I have looked through two sites that said that she was the same age as the character from the books she played; For "M.P." Author P.L. Travers who was summoned by Disney for her consultation on the writing and music lyrical passages for the movie; She was accepting of Ms. Andrews as playing the title character because she was the proper age and as almost proper.

[@puddywatt7445]

Most of the ages here (especially the kids) are off by at least a year. I think it’s because they used the year 1971, the year WWATCF was released, as a point of reference, instead of 1970, when it was actually filmed.
