Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) beginning credits scene HD

[@JasonLee1653]

In 2001, Gene Wilder went to a grocery store near his home in Connecticut. A mother approached him and introduced her kids to him telling them he's Willy Wonka.

[@MightyGuts7423]

That's pretty cool. The kids must've been happy.

[@GrosvnerMcaffrey]

@@MightyGuts7423 he must have been happy as well Gene always loved it when people would recognize him as his characters

[@corey-bird3489]

And according to trivia it was as long as they didn’t make an enormous scene out of it. Bless his soul.

[@SL-cl9gt]

What I love about this Willy Wonka as a character is that despite his cynical demeanor he’s very genuine. Also I feel that he can defeat ANY enemy no matter how powerful because wonka is a genius who just happens to prefer making candy more than anything. He would let them think they’re winning but at the last moment he’ll completely foil their plots against him and all with that gene wilder smirk haha.

Happy 50th anniversary Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory!!

[@riang.4067]

Remembering back in the days when this aired on tv once a year, before VHS, etc. The opening notes of that overture were as exciting as the opening notes for The Wizard of Oz.

[@corey-bird3489]

And there’s a joke theory that the red brick road leads to Wonka.

[@random_account2160]

I can remember hearing the opening notes for the first time when i was in school, 8 years old and in second grade in 2008 .It immediately caught my attention and it had a warm, inviting feeling. I can remember seeing the screen of mixing chocolate slowly appearing into view and was in awe at the sight of even the logo. This movie became one of my favorite movies as a child and got very excited each time i got to watch the movie, always checking the TV guide each weekend hoping to see an upcoming airing on ABC Family or TCM. I hold Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory near and dear to me, bringing back a wave of nostalgia and takes me back to the second grade watching for the first time each time i watch. The end credits version of Pure Imagination line ''If you truly wish to be'' with it's accompanying trumpets never fails to send chills through my body and a feeling of magic, a sense of timelessness and almost makes me cry everytime. If i have kids of my own one day i can't wait to show the movie to them and hopefully have the same feelings about it as i do.

[@PeytonnotyeP]

@Christopher Bingham I’m pretty sure the name was due to legal issues or something like that but overall this version was much better. Just because something isn’t completely true to its original inspiration doesn’t mean it is not good. For instance professor Snape in the Harry Potter books is a much different character than he is in the movies and most people prefer the movie version.

[@WYTCPenguin]

@@PeytonnotyeP Actually no, it’s because of marketing. Quaker Oats made actual Wonka Bar which caused the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" name change to "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”. Unfortunately, the Wonka bars was pulled off the shelves after the movie was released. The reason was the bars melted too easily, even on the shelves.

[@Grandmaster_Dragonborn]

@Christopher Bingham Being more accurate to the source material doesn’t make a film better. As a piece of filmmaking, this one is far superior.
