It stars Gene Wilder as candymaker Willy Wonka. The film tells the story of a poor child named Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) who, upon finding a Golden Ticket in a chocolate bar, wins the chance to visit Willy Wonka's chocolate factory along with four other children from around the world. A sweet boy from a poor family dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers which will admit him to the eccentric and reclusive Willy Wonka's magical factory. One after another, tickets are discovered by ghastly children - but will the lad find the last remaining one and have all his dreams come true?

4:52 why is the teacher teaching rhe kids to make nitroglycerin
Two more very Potter musicals, they get better and better, as more characters appear!
Family Guy forever made me laugh when Charlie gets the golden ticket, because I will always think of Peter Griffin falling and hurting his knee.
Would be great if you also watched the newer Tim Burton's version with Johnny Depp. It's quite a different take on the whole story but at the same time familiar.
I don’t dislike this film at all but I personally like Charlie and the chocolate factory even more the effects are better and the songs the Oompa Loompas sing are even funnier and much more creative
“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”
- C.S. Lewis
Although if we believe Roald Dahl spoke through his characters, he thought Lewis had one problem with his writing - there weren't any jokes. Dahl believed that all children's books should have funny bits. For those of you who don't know, this was expressed by Matilda in the book of the same name, where she says that all children's books should have funny bits because "Children are not so serious as adults and they love to laugh". She says she likes CS Lewis, but feels that is a failing in his books. Having read some of the Narnia books but not all, I can see where she's coming from. But I never really liked fantasy books unless they had plenty of realism (I think that's why Harry Potter reached such a wide demographic, because it balanced fantasy with reality cleverly - just about any child Harry's age in the first book can identify with the fears and excitement of a new school), so that wasn't my kind of thing. I mean, you're going to say "But you read all of Roald Dahl, right?" Well, no, but I did read a lot of his stuff. But so much of his books were just people talking and getting to know each other, so I was just enjoying the dialogue. There's actually a scene just as the meeting in The Witches is about to start before we know they're not the RSPCC and the way the witches talk do sound like, even though they're said to not be human, at least part of them are regular women.
A lesson that is not being taught as much as it should these days unfortunately
Wait C.S. Lewis said that?
My favorite thing about this movie is how subtly sarcastic and acidic Gene Wilder’s performance as Wonka is. Yeah he’s whimsical and funny, but there’s also such a clear sense that he doesn’t particularly LIKE most people, and that’s why he stays isolated in his factory, surrounded by Oompa Loompas and machines.
So when he finally celebrates Charlie at the end, it feels genuinely earned and rewarding. 😊
He clearly has little patience for naughty children. The author felt very strongly about kids being raised poorly.
I've heard him described as benevolent malevolence. lol
I love his “no stop, come back” sarcasm 😂😂
I think his sarcasm is what made way for Gen-X sarcasm when they became teenagers in the 80s and 90s.
What really sells all that is Gene Wilder's innocence and honesty. So interesting to see someone who always has those characteristics in spades using them to play a character who, though charismatic, isn't obviously trustworthy by any means.
Shocked at how many haven't seen this movie. It's great to see people experience it for the first time
were just old and this movie was old when i was young thats how old it is. The youth rarely backtrack to what was laid down before them.
I grew up on this movie... i assumed all of Gen X grew up on Willy Wonka, as well as The Sound Of Music.
Same. I grew up with so many classics and I always just assumed most people did as well. Kinda shocked that quite a lot of people didn't
That is weird. I’m 28 and have seen this movie multiple times. Then again, I love Gene Wilder movies.
People don’t watch tv as much as they used to. Content on demand means people look up what they want to see and don’t see things in passing on tv like it used to be.
The moment when Wonka hobbles out on a cane and then does the somersault was all Gene Wilder's idea and apparently was mandatory for him taking the role. As he put it, "I do that, the audience won't know what to expect from me", which is exactly how it should be from a trickster character like him.
And didn't he do that forward roll brilliantly. :)
The director didn't like the idea, so made Gene do takes without the somersault. But Gene made sure each of those games were unusable so they had to use the somersault, and I'm glad he did. It was such an efficient method of character building.
I came here to write the same thing. Always thought that was pretty cool idea of his.😊
@@JeshuaSquirrel Brilliant idea to second guess Gene Wilder.
The famous final line was also written by the screenwriter last second, over the one phone that existed in the town, on vacation. They didn’t have a good one. And apparently the books ends with something like “Grandpa says wheee!” So he was called urgently and he came up with that on the spot.
Peter Ostrum played Charlie in this and he never acted in a movie again. He got his veterinarians degree from Cornell and he was a vet in Lowville, NY until he retired in September. He would go to schools to talk about the film. He’s a local legend in our area here and he’s lived an incredible life.
I read that he still had his Golden Ticket and would take it in to the elementary schools when he went in for Career Days.
Mad respect for a guy living his best life
"Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker." Best line in the movie 🤣
That’s 105% true!
Yes😂😂😂
Nah its when Gene says stop police murder heh
Roald Dahl, the original author, hated bubble gum and thought it was a nasty habit and especially hated when people would just spit their gum out rather than properly throw it away. This was the whole reason behind the character of Violet Beauregard.
True and the both movies made her vice self centered/ over competitive. Which also fit the character in the book, in her interview she put gum on the elevator buttons and she calls out her rival. She was a nasty little girl.
Frankly I think Dahl hated kids in general and wanted to write a horror story in the style of And Then There Were None.. but with kids instead getting bumped off one by one.
Can’t blame him one bit. People are gross. You’re randomly stepping on him outside, people stick gum under seats and tables. Ick!
I also dislike gum, then again gum is helpful when comes to fresh breath and dentist recommendation. Although I spit out gum quickly after chewing it because it loses flavor really fast. And that is gross how people throw their gum in the streets, or stick it under tables instead of in the garbage bin. I cringe when I see gum stuck on a sidewalk, or on a table at a restaurant.😖
I keep my gum wrapper and spit it back into that when I’m done with it if I’m not near a trashcan, I’ll hang onto it and toss it out when I get to a good place to toss it out. Can’t stand people that just toss it into the sidewalk or on. The bottom of tables
Kid: "Dies a horrific death."
Oompa Loompas: *sings a banger*
Too funny! I almost choked on my ravioli. To be fair, though, in the book the kids are shown leaving the factory at the end of the day. Some were changed - for example, they overstretched Mike Teavee and he ended up very thin and 10 feet tall - but all survived.
This movie, I feel, has one of the best unspoken jokes in the history of cinema. It's the conman in Paraguay. They announce in the paper the final Wonka ticket was discovered in Paraguay, and show a photo of the guy claiming to have found it. It is later reported on the news that it was a fake ticket. The guy shown in the photos is Martin Bormann, the highest ranking Nazi official to evade capture, and was rumored in the early seventies (when the film was made) to be living in hiding somewhere in South America. The joke is that the winning ticket is so desirable, that even the World's Most Wanted Man would risk capture in an effort to win, and is nevertheless a hopeless scoundrel for faking the ticket. An absolutely A+ joke you either get or don't.
That is funny actually, so even the criminals would snitch on themselves just to win a chocolate contest. Then again there was that woman who would let her husband be killed by kidnappers just to keep her Wonka bars. Grandpa Joe is no better, he lied about not being able to walk when he's been walking all along, wanted Charlie to steal that bread, and had the audacity to play victim when Wonka confronted him and Charlie on what they did. I wish Charlie took his mother instead of Grandpa Joe.
@summerrose8110
But then you don't get grandpa being a hypocrite and Charlie showing Wonka why he's the right choice.
@@summerrose8110 Are you saying that Grandpa Joe is no better than a Nazi and a woman who would let kidnappers kill her husband for a chance to see the inside of a factory and a lifetime supply of chocolate? It doesn't seem comparable.
Thanks for this info. Very Interesting (Artie Johnson - Laugh-In)
@@alexanderthegreat5649 I guess so, just angered me how he never took accountability for his actions that he did.
Rewatching this as an adult has made me realize I learned the art of throwing shade from Willy Wonka😂
Word is, they didn't let anyone see the Chocolate room until they filmed this scene. Those are real reactions. 💜
That's cool!. I heard the same thing about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. They didn't let the actors playing 1st years see the Great Hall until they filmed the scene of them entering it for the first time. That is their real reactions too. I like when director's do that so you can see the actual wonderment on the children's faces.
@@sunshinemerlot9790 Also happened in Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the actress of the youngest sibling, Lucy wasn’t allowed to enter the set of the Forest, until they were to film the scene. Which, btw was on her birthday, so she could have a magical birthday. However, they also didn’t tell her Mr Tumnus would appear on the scene, meaning her reaction to seeing him and her scream were all real.
@@_Moon-Owl_ Yep! It's my favorite scene in the movie for that reason. The genuine look of wonder and delight on Georgie Henley's face gets me every single time.
@@_Moon-Owl_ I hope u know u sound ridiculous..
@@user-wr9ej6xe4j I did not, but thanks for letting me know.
Fun note, my vocal teacher was one of the oompa loompa voice actors. He was the first tenor saying " what do you think when you guzzle down sweets". Such a kind guy and he was in his 70's when he taught me in 2016. Always said this was the best experience of his career. RIP.
I've loved this version since I was a kid because of my mom. That tunnel scene was scarier than any horror movie to me back then lol. The remake is worth checking out too. 💜
Freaky, scary, even creepy, but such a wonderfully unforgettable thrill.
@@0okamino Well said!
Which remake? The one with johnny Depp or timothee?
@@lizxu322 Johnny Depp. I haven't seen the newest one yet.
The remake is not worth checking out, it's pathetic people suggest that garbage version.
Imagine drowning in chocolate while you hear a choir singing about you being fat and ugly. Lol
😂
This version is not as faithful to the book, but goddamn, Gene Wilder is fabulous. Love it. It's just so weird.
Better than the book.
Definitely NOT better than the book. Though Burton’s version might be more faithful literally, this version is far more faithful in spirit.
Yes better than the book and Tim Burtons versions, ty Gene Wilder.@@courtneywallace871
Violets “can it you nit “ is one of the funniest lines ever! Along with Wonkas “You lose! Good day sir!”
There's a fun (in a heartbreaking way) fan theory (that doesn't hold up at all, but its interesting to think about) that Wonka is actually George Weasley from the Potter universe. He's a red-head, with a talent for creating wild and wacky "magical" candies (think back to Potter and the candies the Weasley Twins made), and at the end of the tour you see everything in his office is split in half...because George lost Fred, lost half of himself.
I always thought that Wonka wanted Charlie to take over the factory. Charlie just so happen to find money so he could buy the last bar and the shopkeeper personally handed Charlie a candy bar from behind the counter rather than one of the bars sitting out on one of the several displays.
Yeah the whole thing is planned to some degree, as evidenced by “Slugworths” appearance at the locations of all the tickets. Yeah his presence isn’t immediate in all cases but he’s always there at least the same time as the media, in that day and age it’d be impossible for to him to have seen the news and then travelled to the tickets location.
yes i noticed that!!
In the play, Wonka is the storekeeper and it's clear he makes sure Charlie gets the ticket :)
This is a popular theory that's been around for years that The Candy Man was another agent for Wonka, he knew what kind of a honest kid Charlie was, which can be seen in the beginning, all those kids just eating the candy that was thrown to them, yet here's Charlie, staying outside, not going in because despite the Candy Man giving out the candy, he didn't feel like he should go in because he was poor. Then when he comes into the shop, he buys a candy bar for his grandfather. This shows his thoughtfulness for others.
@@KierrokCyclonein the Broadway and West End musical the candy man and Wonka are played by the same actor.
You FEEL Charlie when you watch as a child, you FEEL Willy Wonka when viewing as an adult! My FIRST exposure to Gene Wilder in a film when I saw this while in elementary school and I saw it at a drive-in theater first, before I saw it on TV. It's even a good watch now 52 years later, because I was only 3 in 1971, but probably first saw this in 1975 when I was 7.
I just love it when Oak starts pushing Quinn because he gets all hyped up! 😂
A lot of the things that the cast encountered was kept from them, sorta like in the movie Alien, that way the reactions would be authentic. the first time they saw the chocolate room was legitimately the first time they saw the room. When Wonka came hobbling out on the cane, that was legitimately the first time they saw Wilder and they really had no idea what to expect, so the bizarre disappointment on their faces was also genuine. The horror on the boat was also genuine because none of that was explained before hand. They experienced it all alongside us as the movie panned out
Pearl clutching has caused film ratings to go up and up over the years as people insist on shielding kids from every possible thing. Kids can handle darker or more serious material just fine and honestly it's good to have kids engage in those things through a safe medium like fiction before life slams them in the face with it later.
Ya the original Grimm's fairy tales were brutal and horrific at times. It wasn't too long ago children were surrounded by death, most notably the deaths of younger siblings and mothers who died in the birthing of those younger siblings. They can withstand a lot more than modern adults give them credit for. Shielding them from any and all negative emotions does them no favours.
Fun Facts: The two girl actresses were in love with the actor who played Charlie, so much so that they used to fight over him behind the scenes.
The young actor who played Charlie never acted again and later became a veterinarian.
Gene Wilder insisted on doing the limping cane flip roll fake out gag. So much so that if the director said "no" Gene was not going to take the role.
The book is very different than the movie.
And also Gene Wilder hated the actor who played Mike TV and thought he wad the spawn of satan
The teacher is David Battley...long time British comedy actor. You may also know him as the Magician, Ergo, in the fantasy movie KRULL.
They just referenced Krull a few reactions ago too - good timing! (Legend of Korra reaction)
A movie I have always loved.
And Tim Brooke-Taylor, another British comedy actor, was the computer guy. He was in British TV shows, like "At Last, the 1948 Show" (1967), and The Goodies (70s-early 80's). Working along side of Marty Feldman and many of the Monty Python guys.
Huge favorite as a kid- I used to go around singing the music all the time. That tunnel scene was the stuff of nightmares though! I mean wtf… 😆
Guys I think it’s pretty obvious grandpa Joe was in severe depression following a prolonged illness or injury. Plus in the book Charlie has BOTH his parents not just mom and even with all 3 working the family is basically starving during winter.
Also, as a commentary on the book; while growing up poor can humble a person that does not at all follow that every person who grows up poor will be a good humble person. Poverty like every other circumstance in life effects everyone differently.
Interesting
Gene Wilder was one of the biggest influences for GenX, the cynicism and wit and weirdness... he's in our very DNA. 😁 Y'all were EVERYTHING for me watching this. Pure joy.
🎉 Happy New Year 🎊
My mother used to sing me the song Charlies mother sings to him when i was little. Shed switch out the names
I do the same thing with my children now, and they ask me to sing it alot come bedtime. Such incredible memories this movie brings ❤️
My male friend just went through a break-up.. I start singing Cheer up Charlie to him and he told me to stfu 😂😂😂
I sang it to my cat on the way to the vet, to put him down. Always makes me cry, when I hear it.
The interesting thing about Slugworth is that his voice was dubbed despite the fact that the actor for Slugworth could speak fluent English.
A little Easter egg-the photo of the fraudulent finder of the fifth ticket is of Martin Bormann, who disappeared in the last days before Berlin fell in 1945. When the movie was made, it was presumed that he had taken a ratline to South America like so many of his colleagues. Only in recent years was it proved by DNA that he died in Berlin.
GOOD catch! I thought I was the only one who noticed it was Bormann's face on the screen!
So, in retrospect, whoever that was supposed to be a photo of was not only a fraudulent ticket finder, but also a fraudulent war criminal. Though I guess that’s better than being a genuine war criminal. 😄
"Can you imagine the nerve of that guy, trying to fool the whole world?"
@@0okaminowas a genuine war criminal
The reason Grandpa Joe gets a hard time is because nothing is wromg with him or any of the grandparents. They are able bodied adults who sit in the bed while charlie and his mom work hard to get enough food to feed them all.
And just think, if they are all bed ridden then it’s Charlie’s mother who probably has to bathe them, clothe them, and clean out their chamber pots. Her husband I assumed died and they just watched as she struggled, no chocolate tour for her.
I always took it as they're all just depressed
@@novadragonz7357 The book says they just all got in bed one day and never got out. 🥴
Depression
Watching three buff dudes watch Willy Wonka with pure, unabashed enjoyment has made my day. Thank you for watching this older movie and sharing that fun with us! It's so nice to watch people react when they're not afraid to have fun and can appreciate older practical effects - thank you for just watching and enjoying this great movie on its own merits!
Jack Albertson, who played Grandpa Joe, also voiced a character in the Disney film The Fox & the Hound. It was one of his last roles and he does a really great job of it.
Roy Kinnear, who played the father of Veruca Salt, was also in the Beatles film HELP. His son Rory Kinnear is also an very good actor and more recently was in the A24 surreal horror Men as several different characters.
Wait was he the Todd and chiefs owner? The old man?
@@jayjitsuu yup, he voiced Amos, he owned the hound dogs
Each kid can represent a deadly sin. Augustus was gluttony, Veruca was greed, Violet was pride, Mike was sloth. Charlie is meant to be the good kid, but you could make the argument that he exemplifies envy.
So ... who is lust and who is wrath?
@@BestAnimeFreak no one, explain how you do either of those in a kids film or book.
@@lornepribbeno3760then the allegory doesn’t work lmao
@@Daytondaily so what? The lessons are still there
@@lornepribbeno3760 "explain how you do either of those in a kids film or book."
Just go ahead and look at the SpongeBob theory ... the main cast being the 7 deadly sins ... and yes, that does include lust and wrath ...
Especially wrath shouldn't be too hard to be depicted in a kids show or movie ... just make a character that is angry all the time ... there, done xD
this movie is sooooo good Gene Wilder was an amazing actor RIP
My favourite movie! I love when Wonka starts creepily singing in the tunnel, 😮Scared the hell out of me as a lad
Yes! Creeped the hell out of me, and I could never understand why I still watched it whenever it was on TV. 🤣
Marilyn Manson did it on an old album it fit so perfectly with it, lol
I think the key is that Charlie was the only child who was able to resist the bad influence of his upbringing. All the other kids were the way they were because of the influence of their parents, but Charlie (eventually) resisted his grandpa's "crookedness." It's as much about him being honest and sweet as it is that he can refuse to be influenced by the adults around him.
The Chocolate Room was kept hidden from the entire cast (except Wilder) until the point they walk through the door just to get the genuine reaction on each of their faces.
Unfortunately, part of that reaction was disgust from the smell created by the "chocolate" waterfall and river. The water was mixed with chocolate powder, but it eventually released a foul odor after sitting for a while, and the churning of the falls caused it to go white. The team’s solution was to add anti-shampoo powder and other chemicals. This all sat on the set for the three weeks it took to film all the scenes there and was horrendous by the time the cast moved to another set.
One of my favorite bits in the movie is when Wonka plays the "musical combination" which is obviously from Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" and the know-it-all mother of Mike TV says "Rachmaninoff"
I distinctly remember two movies as a kid with scenes that disturbed me to the point of having nightmares. One was the flying monkeys in Wizard of Oz. The other was this movie when Violet turned into a blueberry. It wasnt until i was in my 20s that I finally broke down and watched Willy Wonka again, and as an adult i LOVE it! Thanks for the reaction!!!
The reason everything in Willy's office is cut in half was that Mel Stuart, the director, couldn't bear the thought of, after having gone through all the whimsical and creative rooms in the factory, ending the movie in an ordinary office. Everything was cut in half to make the room look more Wonka-esque.
My favorite part of this movie is just how Gene Wilder was essentially pranking wveryone the whole time. The cane part at the beginning? No one had net him before and their shock was real. Same with the boat ride. The other actors had no clue what was going to happen.
The band, Veruca Salt, got their name from the character in the movie. They put out some really good songs (Seether, Volcano Girls, Laughing In The Sugar Bowl).
Magical movie! And most folks never seem to be warned that it’s a dark comedy.
Watching this as an adult compared to when i was a child is a wild experience 😂
That tunnel scene used to give me nightmares. Watching it as an adult, I get really emotional about it all.
The Wonkatania scene is my favorite scene in movie history. The way Gene conveys himself there is incredible. Scared me to death when I was a kid though.
Also Julie Dawn Cole’s talent in the golden egg room is really something
GENE WILDERRRRRR **immediately bursts into tears**
I love when Wonka plays the musical lock and Mrs. Teevee, a teacher, smugly says “Rachmaninoff”, when the snippet was in fact Mozart. The overture to The Marriage of Figaro, to be exact.
Ahh, the 1970's when the studio system had collapsed and nobody was around to tell directors and writers they couldn't do exactly what the Hell they wanted so...
...you got this absolute stuff of nightmares. We loved every frame of it.

The Teacher was David Battley. He was in a lot of British TV from 1964-1999.
He was on Saturday Night Live in 1976 and was the Bassist for Eric Idle's band the Rutles.
My favorite note about the first scene with Wonka is (I'm paraphrasing here) it was Gene's idea to have Wonka limp out and then spring up after a cartwheel. His logic was if that was the audience's first encounter with Wonka then they would know from the start you couldn't actually trust anything Wonka said or did for the rest of the movie. Not that he was "evil" but that you would just never know what was the real Wonka and what was Wonka's performance. I loved it when I learned that the first time.
Loved this movie. Hearing y'all cackling throughout the video has made my work morning much easier 😂
Great reaction! Trivia: It was Gene Wilder's idea to use the can, then trip, fall, and do the somersalt. Because he felt if Wonka started off lying to them they would be on edge for the rest of the movie, not sure what to believe from him.
Meanwhile, the main thing I take away each time is how fantastic Gene Wilder's performance is. From the zany humor to the physical comedy, to the surprising burst of rage at the end, to the gentle way he covers the gobstopper with his hand -- it's an incredible performance with so many different moods and layers.
"It's supposed to be creepy" - For sure. :D Here in Germany there's an old children's book from the 19th century called "Der Struwwelpeter" (more or less "bad hair Peter"). It features a bunch of stories, some one paged, some several pages, about bad kids and what happens to them. And it's quite gruesome: The "Soup Casper" doesn't want to eat his soup and starves to death. There's a girl, playing with matches and burning to death while her cats watch and lament. A boy who doesn't want to stop sucking his thumb gets his thumbs cut off by the local tailor. A kid who always looks at the clouds falls into a river... You know - wholesome stuff. For kids. :D
I'm pretty certain that, at least from my Generation (1971) most Germans still know the Struwwelpeter unironically from their kid's library. It's outright iconic. Of course today it's not on the recommended list of books for kids any more, but it lives on. People still own and buy it - but usually not for kids, more like a humorous gift for grownups. And there's loads and loads of other kids books inspired by it too. Usually they're much less violent, but keep the main template of presenting a kid with a bad habit and showing the consequences... I BET Victorian England and other countries have similar books from back in the olden days.
Well, Willy Wonka's antics clearly fall into the same kind of story - bad kids getting their comeuppance for misbehaving. And the way it's done in this movie, I find, works great for kids AND for grownups. Listen to some of the comments the other parents make, whenever a kid is in danger - Augustus in the pipe and in the background you hear something like: "You remember? You always wanted to know how a bullet gets shot out of a gun?". There's one or two really nasty comments in the movie that are clearly made for us grownups to grin about. :D
Imagine if the factory lady who found the ticket for Veruca Salt had hid that she found it, and snuck it home for herself/her own kid.
I love the sass & sarcasm of Wonka. 😂😂 Great reaction guys!!
This movie is a dnd campaign where the dm (Willy wonka) is having too much fun killing off the players one by one 😂
This is a rainy day movie for me for sure! The new Wonka movie was actually a pleasant surprise as well! Just love this movie and gives me cozy feelings everytime!
I'd rate it a 5 out of 5. I used to watch this and sing the songs all the time. I loved it as a kid so, so much. Gene Wilder was perfect and iconic in his role. I feel the kids, their parents and Grandpa Joe were just as perfect and iconic for the movie. It has a timeless appeal. It's got all the goodies, literally and figuratively. It has songs that have wonderous, creative and imaginative vibes. Beautiful scriptwriting and great life lessons for kids. Visually stunning sets and a ridiculously talented cast. Plus, it has every kids' dream - being able to eat everything and have a lifetime supply of chocolate.
What more could you want?
Gene wilder was incredible in this role 👏🏼
Fun fact, the book has a sequel called Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. And the book is WILD
"There's going to be a lot of garbage today," Is such a based way to react to piling up human corpses at your candy factory.
Definitely a 5. And I think the half-room symbolized Wonka's ideas and dreams are never finished.
Now they need to watch the Tim Burton version of this movie, and of course the prequel. I had so much fun watching these guys react to this movie-this is one of my top 3 favorite reactions from them. The others being Harry Potter & The Sixth Sense (shock Pikachu face: "he was dead the whole time!")
No, they really do no need to see that piece of trash Tim Burton version.
@chesteradams7423 Yes they do. It is actually the more faithfulversion.
I don’t know who plays the teacher or what else he’s been in, but I unironically love him. Can you imagine him ordering a pizza?
This movie is example of what good cinema is. Doesn't have to have a big budget or a complicated story. Just good family fun. And amazing acters like Gene Weilder.
I STILL can't get over how quickly Charlie forgot about the rest of the Wonka bar that had the ticket in it XD Reminds me of Evil Dead Rise and the pizza.
Roald Dahl, the author of the book, stood outside movie theaters on opening weekend and shouted at people not to watch this. Then he stipulated in his estate that no more movies could be made from his books until after he had died.
He was not a fan of Willy Wonka being a plain old suit with a regular old office who yelled at kids because he was in a bad mood.
Wonder what he would have thought about Johnny Depp's
@@OphepheVanessaHis widow actually worked on the production of Johnny Depp's Wonka and said that she felt like her husband would have absolutely loved Tim's interpretation of his work as it stayed much more faithful to the book
@oncerand_directioner awww that's good! I found Johnny's to be way more whimsical, which is what I imagine the character to be
@@OphepheVanessa I'm honestly torn between Gene's Wonka and Johnny's Wonka because they were both hilarious to me and also showed different interpretations of whimsical however, I will say that I love how pale Johnny actually was for Wonka since it's makes sense that he would look like that after being inside a factory for years and never leaving
The girl who played Veruka Salt must have had some musical training. Her song was melodically very complex and sophisticated.
This movie is a horror movie in disguise. I’d actually love someone to make an adaptation that’s as appropriately dark as the subject matter.
Most movies based on Roald Dahl's books are horror movies in disguide.
The irony of the popularity of this movie is that the author HATED the adaptation which he was asked to write but never gave a completed script just points so someone else was tasked to write the screenplay. "Dahl disowned the film and was "infuriated" by the plot deviations and considered the music to be "saccharine, sappy and sentimental". He was also disappointed because the film "placed too much emphasis on Willy Wonka and not enough on Charlie" and because Gene Wilder was cast as Wonka instead of Spike Milligan".
The teacher was portrayed by the late David Battley. He passed away in 2003. He's usually a minor character player. The last thing I saw him in was Krull from 1983.
Stephen King also hated the adaptation of The Shining that Kubrick did. Sometimes the authors get it wrong. 😂😂
@@MoneyKateOlsen No, Stephen King got it right.
@@MoneyKateOlsenConsidering that the book is better, no the authors get it right.
46:25 I do think that the particular candy salesman in Charlie's town always knew where the golden ticket was. He was waiting for the right kid to come along. It might be the same for the other stores, too. But I doubt it. Because the ticket Veruca got was in a case that her father bought en masse. Agustus bought a ton of bars, probably all at once. We don't know enough about the other kids' places of purchase to tell for sure. But since Charlie lived in the same town as the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka probably sent that last ticket out recently. Or specifically to that candy salesman and told him to choose a kid he thought worthy. I absolutely love the idea that he knew he was giving Charlie the Golden Ticket because he probably saw him lurking outside the shop often. Saw him longing for the candy. It just adds something. Plus, that actor played that character very well. The way he said that last line implied all of this to those who thought about it enough.
When Wonka is on the boat he decided to sing. Nobody was expecting him to that why they all look surprised
Such a classic. Fun fact: Peter Ostrum (Actor for Charlie) has a business about 30 minutes from my house. He’s a great guy.
I love how no one is ever prepared for the wonka tunnel of crazy.
Oh i laughed when the one reactor recognized the famous Wonka meme 😂
One of my favorite lines is "I bet those golden tickets make the chocolate taste terrible."
Possibly one of the most wholesome and heartbreaking reactions from such a mature child
This came out 7 or so years before I was born, but I grew up watching this so many times. We taped it off of TV and I wore the recording out watching it so much (along with Mary Poppins, another childhood favourite). There was something magical about it.
This movie absolutely creeped me out when I was a kid in the 70s. Yet I still watched it every time it was on TV. 😁
I grew up watching this movie compulsively. Along with Wizard of Oz, I think this is the greatest children’s movie.
The teacher is played by David Battley, a british actor, most people remember him for this movie and his role as the young wizard Ergo (I am Ergo the magnificent. Short in stature, tall in power, narrow of purpose and wide of vision.) in Krull.
Gene Wilder played this so brilliantly. He would swing from the most warm and charming guy to somebody who didn't care one bit if these kids survived. I love this film. I have always loved it since I saw it when I was probably 4 or 5. It taps into the wonder and terror of Wizard of Oz while hitting such amazing comedy. It's an all time classic.
Waiting for this to come on tv as a kid...torture!😅 One of my favorite movies. Even the creepy tunnel scene. 😂 Love seeing Oak's reactions to the meme scenes!
This movie is actually quite different from the original source material/book and the one with Johnny Depp is actually the more accurate of the two portrayals. However, both are iconic. This one is warm, witty, and classic. Charlie & The Choc Factory is whacky, kooky, and insightful.
He may have found that last Golden Ticket.....but he just threw that chocolate bar away
I love this version, 10 years old! At the former(defunct) Eastfield Mall, Springfield, MA, 1973. Christmas time! Two screens! Fabulous on the big screen! I almost barfed during the "Wondrous Boat Ride", the worm on the the lip, then Slugworth! And to top it off, Wonka's insane song/rant!
I love the variety on this channel!
You guys should watch the new Studio Ghibli movie, The Boy & the Heron! Or his old movies! They're very beautiful & worth watching! Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, etc. There are TONS of famous voice actors in the English dubbed versions of his movies!
I love the: Stop. Don't. Come back. Delivered completely emotionless😅
The Harry Potter fan theory explains the office with everything in half. That George Weasley went back in time and became Willy Wonka. Which explains why he’s hard of hearing and everything is cut in half because his twin Fred is gone.
The author of this book, Roald Dahl, had an extremely interesting life story.
Never meet your heroes 😬
@@ms-literary6320 Or just expect them to be human. 🤷♀
@@angelagraves865 That’s generally a good idea. I’m a big fan of Death of the Author as well. If you go back longer than a couple of decades almost everyone will have behaviours/beliefs that we would find distasteful/ unacceptable today. Dahl was just a particularly unpleasant person who wrote excellent books and stories.
@@ms-literary6320 💯
What a classic. It perfectly encapsulates why Gene Wilder was so beloved and why losing him a few years ago was so crushing. I really think Pure Imagination is one of those songs that everyone (well, almost everyone) knows all the words to without realizing it.
But if you want so see just how fucked up the story can be if you really push it...watch the 2005 movie. Watching it when I was 13 was the closest I'll ever come to an acid trip.
I think one of my favorite fan theories in history is that Willy Wonka is George Weasley. That after the Battle of Hogwarts, he moved from jokes to candy and thats why everythong seems so magical, becaus it is.
Thats also why everything in his office is cut on half, because of Fred.
Obviously the books and movies of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory came out DECADES before Harry Potter, but its still a beautiful and touching theory that melds two beloved series/movies.
Watching three grown men get just as much joy from a movie that has given millions of children joy is just FANTASTIC.
This was one of my favourite movies and books growing up. Watching Charlie support his family and be completely selfless in motivation resonated with me as kid in a low income family. He deserves everything he gets ❤
This easily beats all other "modern" regurgitations.
They kept the kids away from the candy set until filming, so their reactions are genuine.
