[@swishfish4289]

I wonder if the White Crocodile representing the dangers of their homeland is their subconscious assigning a symbol to Wonka. A lot of what would make a crocodile dangerous to the pygmy's are things you can use to describe Wonka. The danger mainly lurking in the water as Wonka's most dangerous to the Pygmys is with his boat, the stealthy movement and ambush predation as he hid his intentions, that cold unfeeling unmoving gaze, how a crocodile of the size of their false memories would have consumed them whole like what he was doing to their identity, etc.

[@igzymig]

@@swishfish4289 I think Wonka was rewriting their memories as we saw the Crocodile attack on the animal early on was replaced with it attacking a pigmy making them remember their land as being more dangerous and needed saving from than it actually was.

[@thehungrylittlenihilist]

It's kind of in the original too. All the people in the slums where Charlie lived probably worked in the factory, but Wonka instead went and got "primitive" people from an island where they didn't know about money and he could just pay them in cocoa beans. It's classic British colonialism.

[@ConnorJaneu]

@@thehungrylittlenihilistIn the original draft of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Oompa Loompas were referred to as “Pygmys” that Wonka literally “saved” from their homelands. I believe this is where the inspiration for this short comes from and honestly I’m glad the more problematic aspects of the Dahl’s stories are getting some kind of examination. It is genuinely fascinating to interpret the story in a sort of colonial/industrialist lens.

[@AnantDimri]

Wait I just noticed the child's father calls minds "loompa" in the flashback and he calls drowning "oompa", so "Oompa Loompas" is "drowned minds" damn

[@monkeymonk666]

Well, from what I recall, Gene Wilder specifically stated that crafting an unsettling air of never truly knowing what to expect from Wonka regarding his thoughts or actions was a goal of his when he played the character. The part where he walks out with the cane then does the tumble? That's what that whole bit was about setting up. Like, he really was going for almost a pseudo "Eldritch Menace" vibe for the whole thing.... So this animation works really well in that regard....

[@spaghetti_dm]

The Knid originally being a species of bird their people venerated as an divine entity they would use in 'sky burials' so their dead would be carried to the stars, and Wonka changing and degrading it's significance to a 'vicious beast', is such a strong piece of revisionist work. That something they thought once thought as connecting them to God and the after life, was stripped down of all it's cultural context to the point that the Knid is remembered as a horrific monster that "ate them" - deliberately so Wonka can make their past more of a painful memory.

[@plaza3825]

This comment hasn't gotten enough attention. Others in the comments recognize the knid's association with death but not its role as psychopomp. Truly an important part of the spirituality here

[@capitainefrite]

Great comment. As I rewatched it, I think the editing tells something slightly different : wonka’s not changing the perception of the bird itself. Instead, he is making them forget parts of nature they enjoyed, by focusing on other animals and exacerbating their threat. In the end, the effect is the same but the path there is perhaps different, and adds to the video incredible vision and nuanced commentary

In all honesty the Oompa Loompas being enslaved to work at a chocolate factory against their will is very close to the canon of the original book

[@rowan404]

Iirc, in the original book, the Oompa Loompas were black and Willy Wonka had a white savior complex. Like, he actually did find them in an African jungle, and he offered them shelter from some sort of predator in exchange for their service. I don’t think there was nearly as much trauma and gore in the original, but considering how close this interpretation is to canon and how many people are creeped out by Willy Wonka, it could be a case of unreliable narration. Where this becomes especially strange is the connection to Roald Dahl’s actual life. In his second autobiography, Going Solo, he has an African servant while stationed there shortly before WWII. I hate to say it, but, if you squint, there is a little bit of a white savior complex there as well. He wrote about how his “boy” adored him, how he taught him how to read, and as a funny anecdote, mentioned how the clueless African man murdered the town’s mayor because he was German. I think Roald intended for Willy to be a good guy but was tainted by his own bias.

[@Tyrless]

For me, the part that absolutely shook me was when Wonka first met the people. The whole start of the film was a slow, windup showing the life of the life of the person before they had their identity stripped away from themselves. It lulls the viewer into a sense of calmness before being plunged into a frigid water of shock. The moment of silence when the infant was dropped into the water too was absolutely brilliant. That moment was the tipping point to me of the whole thing. A horrific yet beautifully executed piece of media. Great friggin job.

Something I haven’t seen people talk about in the video is how Wonka was reminding them of all the happy times they had where they used to live just to show them what then happened because of him, which then broke them more.

This raises genuinely fascinating connections between colonist ideals and the depiction of Oompa Loompas as a sort of “tamed savage” made to work in an industrial environment. Especially in how their servitude is depicted as liberation from a life of savagery and into a more “noble” or “happy” life as unquestioning workers.

[@jacobbakos3140]

[@xxecxx_1038]

which is just as ironic of Wonka when he thinks that them continuously and mindlessly working in an endless and repetitive cycle covered by a facade of "wonderland" is a better situation for them.

[@stravask9835]

I've seen a lot of symbolism analysis in the comments, but for some reason I haven't seen anyone point out that the "Vermicious Knid" (the bird) is seemingly the Loompas representation of death, and at 3:50 when the father(?) is eaten/carried off to the horizon by the bird (dying), the next thing the Loompas see if Wonkas ship on the horizon approaching their island. This visualization therefore presents Wonka either as *being* Death, or that he comes from the Land of Death and intends to take them all there. I know it's probably not the most mind-blowing connection to point out, but since I hadn't read any comments that mention it I wanted to make sure it doesn't go unnoticed.

[@jebshere]

I think you’re pretty close to it. The knid is their depiction of death in the natural cycle and Wonka is the representative of an unending unnatural death with no escape.

[@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger]

The Knid is their connection to death; it's a reality they all ultimately face at the end of their journey, but Wonka severs that tie. The Knid can't take the remaining Oompa Loompas to the stars/eternity; he comes from a land disconnected from the natural balance of life, and thus severs their spiritual ties when he takes them with him. What happens when you sever the living's connection to spirituality? Take the still very living into the land of the dead? You get Wonka's Oompa Loompas - a people living in form but not of heart. Automatons for whom the Knid will never come; bodies that toil without rest, without heart, without sense of connection to the workd they find themselves in. Hollow little men in a hollow metal shell.

[@Rum-Runner]

The Knid, I think, is more of a psychopomp. It carries them to the afterlife, or the land of the dead, but it is not death itself. Wonka, however, _comes_ from the land beyond the horizon. He is death itself coming to claim them.

[@itshol_dal]

There is also another Wonka book that didnt get a movie, "Charlie and the great glass elevator" where the elevator goes to space and the "Vermicious Knids" are alien creatures that can change the shape of their bodies to their will. It has nothing to do with this video but thats where the name came from

[@aidenlarson9911]

I think the imagery of him giving them candy while towering over them makes him appear like the devil, offering temptation in exchange for their souls (servitude). He appears like a handsome and kind person which is how the devil is typically depicted when masquerading as a human.

[@josevictor2229]

I love how we have a juxtaposition here with the Elder Villager's speech and Wonka's speech. While the Elder's is a profound travel through their cultural way of living in harmony, Wonka' speech is just terrorizing, condescending, patronizing, and just really creepy in all the senses of the word. He reduct every villager's lifes has a mere dream so he can more easily substitute to another "way of living" that is nothing more than just mere "false reality", or for the lack of better words, "dreams". They probably didn't even call themselves "oompa loompas", that's probably the name Wonka gave to them.

[@truckwarrior5944]

Thats pretty much implied in the fact, that the words Oompa and Loompa appear in this video multiple times. Loompa is very clearly said when he is talking about Drowning, when we hear the word Oompa, the only word that is in every sentenced translated is Mind. Unlikely they called theirselves something like the drowned minds, especially when this goes so much against their philosophy.

Don’t know how many people caught this.

I didn’t catch what’ oompa’ means and I’m not sure it’s featured in his monologue. But it’s very possible that Wonka gave them the name Oompa Loompa meaning ‘broken mind’ or ‘lost mind’ in their own native language. Since they likely wont remember their pasts and likely their language, it gives me chills to think that the Oompa Loompa’s brainwashing has been right in front of their faces the whole time.

This is one of the most beautiful and horrifying animations I've seen, probably ever. The depiction and details of the tribe and how beautifully they lived, and taught their children the ways of the world, and loved each other and their home. The very real and very brutal depiction of colonialism and slavery, and the total, utter destruction of the mind and spirit of a human through torture and trauma. The flashback of that man losing his baby, desperately, frantically trying to get his child back, and dissolving into nothing with wonka towering over him, still talking as if he's their savior while twisting their minds and distorting their memories is insanely powerful. And even scarier is the reveal from hearing the father speaking in their native language that "oompa loompa" isnt the name these people called themselves in the tribe. "Oompa" meant mind, and "loompa" meant drowned. When they call themselves that, they're called themselves the "drowned minds". And thats the only words we hear them say in that language. The only thing they have from their old lives is an expression of agony. They should genuinely show this in history classes.

[@toastle8005]

It also doesn’t shy away from the brutality of nature, the vision of the wife getting snatched by the crocodile, the insects, the disease and toil Wouldn’t it be better, if Wonks could take it all away? Make it a safer world, of constant sugar and gorging and security? Where the world isn’t trying to eat you anymore… but where everything is edible, and you can exert the most primal, pure form of dominance and power over the things around you. By *eating* them. Wouldn’t that be a nicer world? What good was uncertainty, and the pain and suffering, of humanity in a creation that wanted to eat them? Why not conquer danger, uncertainty, and the torture of destroyed dreams, of drowned babies and spouses eaten by animals, by believing in the man determined to rescue you from ever NOT having every desire at your fingertips every moment, for the rest of your life? After all… as Wonks said, what better dream is there, to believe in, *than Me*

I genuinely love the themes and symbolism here. Lofti was born from the waters and now he and his people drown in it. They will not join the stars with the elderly man once told. Its like when that happened something was lost. And then immediately after, the ship shows up. "Feel the rivers flow" (All of the inhabitants dying or being under Wonkas control), feel their mind drift in the dream. Wonka snickers when he tells Lofti to dream big. On one had they are "Pygmies" being small trying to dream big (when they die they join the stars). A sort of dark comedy. And on the other hand, Wonka thinks they live in a small hostile environment which juxtapose from what we saw in the Elderly Man's speech.

I don't think so much that Wonka himself thinks Loompa Land is inhospitable, just that he convinced them it was so they would never want to go back. The Knid, a god to them and a symbol of ascension after death, merely becomes a predatory creature that feasts on them and consumes their dead. A Vicious Knid. And even though their huts were on the ground, amongst nature and at peace with it, he rewrote their minds so that they remembered only cowering up in the treetops. The deer ensnared by the gator instead becomes an Oompa Loompa, and all of their history and culture is recontextualized into one of fear and barbarism.

Can’t you see the god damn video you fool Willy made the Oompa Loompas slaves

[@Gentle_Dude]

I shall say he must cook a even better content, so high, that the whole goverment will fear his skill. *Cook the steak as juicy as you can*

The parallel of Wonka arriving and conquistadors landing on ialand nations, taking their families, their culture, and their lives away from them hits so hard.

[@Wxtermon]

dude this was literally filled with so much emotion in it. I love the sudden moment where is just stops. you put in a ton of work holy sh!

I really like that some of your animations tell a story, like crazy psycho shit posts are cool but i like it when you take an extreme version of a character like this and play it straight, not caring how absurd it may be. Youre awesome dude

6:46 actually changed the deer being eaten to a person

[@rampagepotato4307]

Yep. Wonka was hypnotizing them into believing that their land was full of dangerous beasts.

[@regalbien6058]

@@rampagepotato4307 like giant man-eater birds/crocodiles wasn't dangerous beasts.

[@rampagepotato4307]

@@regalbien6058 Not as dangerous as Wonka tried to depict them to be. Otherwise the natives wouldn't, you know, prosper enough to reproduce 🤷

[@justpassingby298]

​the bird only ate the dead. The crocodile was only shown to eat animals, not the people. The point is that they were happy in their small life, but the hypnotization made their previously happy life seem terrible

[@dtly50]

​@justpassingby298 In fact, the bird was a sky burial. Hypnotism Turning what is essentially a burning ship send off to the equivalent of burning people alive is... unnerving to say the least.

[@brendonrenken6811]

I mean....the fact that this wasn't some big production company backed by investors and ceos.....just you doing your thing and creating something truly amazing.... bravo. Seriously good stuff. Seriously

[@barbados3592]

the ceos and investors are all monsters to begin with. that's why you can't get anything human from them. they want you eating crap.

[@kaukabkhan7155]

The fact that oompa loompa means " drowned mind " is pretty chilling .

[@ihavenoideaman]

I grew up watching The Willy Wonka and Charlie in The Chocolate Factory movies, and the like primordial horror I felt go through me watching this made me actually feel sick. This is such a good piece of media, and the fact something this quality exists on KZbin is wild. Good job dude!
