Charlie and the chocolate factory merged practical and digital effects so seamlessly that even though the film is nearly 20 years old, it's often difficult to tell which is which,
The things you thought were real... were done using CGI
What you thought was CGI... was done using animatronics and what you thought was animatronic... was actually done for real!
The Nut Sorting Room is one of those scenes that looks 100% real but deep down you know that it can't possibly be so!
I mean, squirrels are fast and wild and there is no way you're going to be able to get them all to sit still on little stools!
And at least in part, this is true, but the squirrels you see in this scene are actually real, and they are actually acting!
40 real squirrels went through an intense three-month training camp in order to train them to do what was required for each shot,
Training started by first getting them just to run out of their cage, across a room, and then into a tube.
This then transitioned into running from their cage across to the little stool they would use on set
Then they trained them to sit still whilst interacting with a nut. Next, they were trained to open the shell, remove the nut, and place it in a bowl, but obviously, the squirrel's first instinct is to eat the nut, so, in order to stop them from doing this, the nuts they used were actually made from plastic and dental acrylic.
And on average, to get each squirrel to successfully open and remove the nut, without trying to eat it, took at least 2000 repetitions!
But now, even though they could get the squirrels to sit on a stool, remove the nut, put it in a bowl, and so test the nut for freshness (with the help of a nut stuck to a blue stick)
It was still impossible to get all the squirrels to do it at the same time.
So they made 12 animatronic squirrels with a whole range of movements, and these squirrels, alongside some CG ones, were used in the backgrounds of the shots.
As you can see right here, with this guy!
For obvious reasons, the attack scene had to use digital squirrels if only just so that they could properly choreograph the action, but that doesn't mean that all the squirrels in the sequence were CGI.
Real squirrels were also trained to run up Veruca and then jump off her shoulders and head
However, a squirrel's claws are incredibly sharp, so in order to protect the actress playing Veruca, a stunt woman was used, but, because of the framing of the shot, Veruca's face would be visible, so the stuntwoman wore a latex mask sculpted using photos of Veruca for reference.
These real squirrels were then composited with the photo-real CGI squirrels to complete the final shot. As you'd probably expect, the Chocolate room itself was an actual physical set built on Pinewood studios' "007 stage", and the chocolate lake and chocolate waterfall were also real, in fact, months were spent trying to achieve the correct color and consistency for the liquid chocolate before making a total of 1.25 million liters at a cost of around 32 cents a liter!
That's like 100 concrete trucks full of the stuff and a total cost of close to half a million dollars!
Unfortunately, because the practical set was mainly built from styrofoam blocks on wooden platforms, it wasn't really a very practical set and certain places couldn't be stepped on or they'd break. This meant that shooting could only take place in very limited areas of the set, so for this part of the Chocolate Room Song scene where the Oompa Loompas walk all over the set, all the Oompa Loompas were actually CGI, in fact, every Oompa Loompa that appears at any time during the film that is under a quarter of the screen size is CGI. Earlier on in this scene, Augustus falls into the chocolate lake, and even though the chocolate lake and Augustus's fall were both done practically
The mixing machine and the tube that sucked him up are CGI and Augustus was filmed in front of a bluescreen and then composited into the shot

So crazy how much effort film makers are willing to make for a movie. hats off
They get compensated handsomely, this is why the budgets are so big
Makes you wonder how the original classic was made.
@@kingcosworth2643 but still man if you don't have passion the detail of work like this no way can happen
u mean were xD
those squirrels were A list actors
Shout out for (Gurdeep) Deep Roy, this often underappreciated actor not only played 160 Oompa Loompas in this film but also worked on British sci-fi shows Doctor Who and Blake's 7, he was also in Flash Gordon, Star Trek and Star Wars so his sci-fi credentials are pretty much perfect. Thank you Deep Roy.👏👏👏👏🎬
I didn't know anything about Deep Roy until another "how it was made" video that focused on his part in the movie. Later, I was surprised to see his name in an old movie, maybe a Doctor Who episode.
He had a major role in Neverending Story. He's been in the biz for a long time.
He was in how I met your mother also I think
he’s SO talented
He plays a Mexican thug on
East Bound and Down
Which I HIGHLY recommend. It’s on hbo and it’s funny as hell.
For a movie that came out in 2005 this has got to be some amazing footage
I thought he was talking about the 1971 veesion
Nope. This comment doesn't make me feel old at all. ......
@@PokemonChampionAquavenus I know. Oh, how I know! Take deep breaths, hold my hand and we'll move on to something less ego deflating.
Bro I watched this movie this year and the quality is still top notch you’d think it’s a recent movie
Bro human can do wonders. There are pyramids, stonehedges, machu picchu, the great walls for reasons
That’s why they call it movie magic. The amount of collaboration and funding it must have taken to piece this together is miraculous.
I hope you did a sweeping, arching gesture of your other hand when you typed "Movie Magic"!
@@chrisparkes2179 you know it! 😂
@Betty white speak for yourself. Both movies are great in their own ways. I much prefer the modern take on it.
Why train one squirrel when you can train 40?
But the result is very worth the price. Unlike the current d1sney/netfl1x lives. They are good but good at best.
"The film is nearly 20 years old"
Damn... I feel old...
And the Poptropica island is 10 years old. And the original movie is 51. And the book is over 2 centuries old.
@@okjeffy6581what book? What’s poptropica island?
@@nicholasbourne What book? Seriously? Were you not aware that the great Gene Wilder did the original movie _Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory_ in 1971? Or that it was based on a book, written by Roald Dahl in 1964? (Jeffy is a little off on his date here, but it's okay) Roald Dahl also wrote _James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox_ and _Danny, the Champion of the World_ If you didn't know these things, it could be forgiven, either because you're too young, or not exposed to enough literature. Either way, both of those conditions can be fixed.
You're welcome! 😄
@@lancer525 I was a huge Roald Dahl fan as a child but the comment said “the book is over 2 centuries old”.. he couldn’t possibly be talking about anything written by Roald Dahl hence me asking what book.. not sure if you’re stupid or lack reading comprehension skills or just trolling me but a century is a hundred years. So you’re telling me Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is over 200 years old???
@@lancer525 Gene Wilder is brilliant but my question has nothing to do with him..
The fact most of the squirrels are real and we’re trained to do that blew my mind! 🐿
Forreal!

@@Mrshoujo it was likely auto corrected that way, this isn't English class and try as you might to convince strangers on the internet that you're intelligent in the end nobody knows who you are or cares about your level of grammar.
I guess you could say it was nuts
I raise squirrels so it’s not hard to believe they’re very smart, many people call them tree rats but they love pets and cuddles and nuts ❤
this is why i love movies in year 2002-2009 because most of the props on the set are true and Less CGI.
Yes I 💯 agree! They felt more authentic
CGI can be effective but it can look cartoonish especially over time.
Oh you youngins. 😂
Those CGI Oomps Loompas destroyed this movie imo
oh yeah, and Johnny Depp
You can tell when things are cgi. They are not real.
Can you imagine having a realistic animatronic version of you in different forms. That would freak me out so much.
Sounds like a thing they'd do in the musical
"This movie is almost 20 years old!"
Damn And I still refer to it as "The new Willy Wonka "
You're not going to be able to say that for much longer now that the Wonka origin story is coming to theaters soon.
haha, so true!!
Ahahaha same
Robert Downey Jr becoming a father in his life doesn’t make him Robert Downey Sr now does it?
@@dr.downvote Not really, if he has a son thats the same name as him, than he'd be a II. Since its his father that's Sr, he's still Jr.
This makes want to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory again even more!
For some reason, I read this as Frodo and the Chocolate Factory. Hmm.
O uO Deep Roy was also in Neverending Story as Teeny Weeny, and a Egyptian Guard in Transformers Revenge of The Fallen. This actor gave maximum effort in every role including cameos.
I've always enjoyed trying to understand the CGI and RL mechanisms that were used in good movies, and I love to see the creativity and the amazing talents that were used on this masterpiece 😍
😆 you think the Wonka remake was a masterpiece? Good god you have absolutely no taste.
@@snavisTM Can you tell me an example of masterpiece?
Because you know, obviously tastes are the same for every person?😂🙄
There are different tastes, and lots of them are based on a movie (in this case) remembering you about something. It could be a childhood memory, your parent watching it, or literally anything. For me, this is a great film cuz they were able to take different problems about a person's life and fuse them for make a lesson of humility and empathy.
You can say I have 0 teste (without even explaining btw🙄), but you have 0 respect for the work they put in the film and the acting skills involved
This must of been the hardest movie ever made. The Oompa Loompas look so realistic.
The think the hardest movie ever made was Cleopatra (1963) because that took I think over 2 or 4 years to film. And there was a quite a few hiccups with some people being sick and filming was awkward...
I doubt it cracks the top ten.
Imagine working that hard on a garbage film like this one. The fact that people think it's a "masterpiece" proves that a lot of people can collectively have incredibly bad taste.
@@snavisTMits not a bad film. Its a masterpiece because it is actually based on the book, unlike the old movie. The old movie is actually garbage.
@@snavisTM You know, I hear such a take on the 2005 movie only from americans. Maybe the old movie was somehow really impactful culturally or whatever. But here in the EU and where I'm from (Ukraine) we don't even know much about the 70s movie. It's like the Wizard of Oz, a groundbreaking part of American culture and history but not so much in the outside world. The 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate factory is the first one I saw. And honestly, the movie is great in my opinion. The script is not lame, the filming and effects are top notch and none of the actors were less than incredible. It has a distinct sense of quality. It feels like a big movie although the scale of the story is pretty small.
This is the true difference between Indie and Studio films, the sheer amount of resources and effort I mean taking weeks training squirrells for maybe a 1 minute scene max for the final cut, that's just incredible Kudos to the film makers that go all out
the true difference between indie and studio films is budget lmao
And all I can think about is how absolutely surreal this would have been for the squirrels themselves. Especially the animatronics.
If you're reading this, Watch out for scams!
Your comment has a reply impersonating a youtuber with a gift, but it's a scam.
@@jacobbradshaw995 yeah, it's really easy to spot if it has something about the telegram
I am baffled to hear such incredible effort was put in this just for that one scene. The determination is incredible.
It’s really such an amazing movie I remember the first time I saw it as a kid and absolutely loved it and wished all of it was real, so now seeing how much effort and time was really put in almost doesn’t seem worth it but look at the result..20 years later still talked about still in awe and still questioning what’s real and what’s not
This movie is a masterpiece. It’s a little creepy, but the special affects and cgi are amazing.
i think the creepyness goes really well with the roald dahl story; i always felt his books had an underlying creepiness
@@lrizzard Add the fact that none other than Tim Burton directed the film and you've got quite the wacky story
I love movies that manage to be " a little creepy "
- it's like with a hot spice, of course you shouldn't overdo it when cooking -
but this movie has just the perfect ammount of creepy, just a hint of it here and there.
Didn’t they also use the hoompa loompa guy in the x files badlaa?
@@jdos5643Yes that's him.
As someone who does clicker training with animals I will always be amazed at seeing animals being taught to do these things for movies. Actually my dream is to do this for film, particularly with horses. I love clicker training, you can get animals to learn almost anything with it and it's completely humane as it's force free and using food rewards!
I've always loved Deep Roy,, he's such a charismatic person and he has great roles that give life-long memories. His role in this movie was top tier
I hope deep roy was paid well
@ForeverSweetx3 $1,000,000 Google says. Pretty good for his role, but personally, I think it should've been raised slightly for all of the work he did
Still one of my favorite movies. I wish more movies put this kind of effort into them.
The hard work holds up over time
That’s why we have topgun now
Avatar wants to have a talk
This movie was amazing. And all the effort and talent that went into it AWESOME
This movie is a gem. So much effort and you can see that on the screen.
Johhny Depp was a HORRIBLE Willy Wonka
and the Oompa Loompas were so bad, cringe
CGI little people, but real squirrel training....lol - priorities...
The actor still had a lot for him to do even if they used some cgi. Especially if he was to copy the dance 60+ times for effects.
Although I prefer the older Gene Wilder Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I do appreciate all the hard work and ingenuity that went into this version.
The Johnny Depp/Tim Burton version is a decent style over substance movie but the Gene Wilder one is still an absolute classic film.
What ?? The Gene Wilder one is kinda bad, the Burton one is a masterpiece
I think the Gene Wilder one had amazing acting and good backgrounds, that are still pretty good, but I think Burton's version is just better overall for the speed, the soundtrack and Wonka's character (I just like the mad genie of the newest version, but that is more of a personal feeling 😅)
I respect your opinion, but it’s just that, an opinion. I prefer the Tim Burton version. As with most things to do with art, most judgements will be based on each individual’s personal views.
I don't know how true this is, but apparently Depp's one was more in keeping with the book.
I agree temporarily...my opinion changes all the time😂
Man!!! Seriously this is one of my favorite child hood movies, I have also read the the book by Roald Dahl..Never new so much work is put into making this movie.good work keep it up:)
I wish these videos were an hour long 😍
"40 squierrels went through intense three-month training camp..." - you just made my day, sir!
Imagine having that many electronic versions of yourself
Scary!😬😂
WOW, can’t believe this film is almost 20 years old! Time truly flies…
The fact that every oompa loompa is a separate, completely unique take of deep roy and that they all sync up so perfectly is insane.
Wow what incredible creativity and hard work put into this movie, really makes you appreciate it more
I love movies that actually apply the hard work and effects 🥺 i love this movie because of its detailed story and structure ❤️💕
They put so much work in this movie that just makes me proud especially because of the year it was made, it’s my favorite movie
Those "oompa loompas" in the 2005 movie still don't replace the classic tangerine and broccoli guys ❤
Truth, I always noticed how robotic the drilling Oompa Loompa looked in the chocolate room scene when they first spot the Oompa Loompas.
This gives me a bigger appreciation for this movie.
Man that was impressive and entertaining at the same time to learn how the movie special effect is made . I always loved seeing those thing
All that effort is truly commendable!! Well done to the special effects and robotics teams for making this work. I truly couldn't tell what was what while watching this film :D
Outstanding job! Knowing the work that went behind it makes the movie even more amazing.
It always amazes me how much work goes into movies
this is amazing. i have a whole new appreciation for this movie
Truly amazing! So much interesting information. I'm gonna have to watch that film again!!
When watching it as a little kid I never really thought about special effects.
But seeing this video now completely blows my mind.
It's crazy to think how much work and $$ goes into making a film ... thanks for the amazing information!
Surely it would have been easier to cast multiple Oompa Loompas instead of having to composite
Like the original? Yea. Exactly.
Burton was copying the book, the real book, not censored. Finding a dwarf of the same size and color is not likely to happen.
I feel like a puppet after seeing this! I only knew about the last one with Deep Roy, but not to that extent. It’s amazing what they went through with this movie. I definitely won’t see it the same way again, so cool, especially for being almost 20 years old! I remember when it came out, I was amazed.
One of those not many movies, wher CGI looks good
Don't think you've done one on this movie, at least couldn't find it in a channel search. The dance scene in the movie Last Night in Soho would be cool to look at. Having watched a lot of videos like this explaining how they film things, this dance scene was mind blowing. It looked like what you'd get if you used effects, but they did a lot of it live using camera movements and perfectly timed movements. It's amazing what they pulled off in this movie. Don't think they used a ton of cgi and green screen, but what they did do blended right into all the practical effects they came up with.
To this day one of my favorite movies of all time. Depp killed this role
Woah.. Awesome..
One of my favourite movie of all time.. Never tired or bored to watch it again and again
Way back when dvds had behind the scenes snippets this movie made me fall in love with special effects and filmmaking. Charlie and Night at the Museum
I wonder what the budget was for squirrel training! 😂😂
I can't even begin ghe express how remarkable the amount of effort put into movies is.
Thanks for the video. Would never have imagined all the variety of techniques they actually utilize in producing this.
This is actually one of the really good movies I've watched and the hard work behind it is really appreciated
Dude, it's money!!! Thx for your job. 🤝🏻
Almost choke when you said “the film is nearly 20 years old”. Man I thought this movie came out like 8 years ago 😂
It's amazing what can be done with animatronics. Thanks for this video, I loved watching it
This makes me want to watch it again just to see the different scenes!!
I still remember going to the movies to see this back when I was a teenager. It’s amazing how fast time goes by.
I knew Willy Wonka was hiding something from everyone
Amazing set, production, and actors.👏❤❤❤
This is my favorite style of movie making: a perfect blend of all techniques.
did Deep Roy get Paid for each role? imagine if the credits include just a list of him and which Oompa Loompa he was.
Lol! He definitely deserves it!
This movie continues to amaze me to this day
Forever one of my favorites😊
I absolutely love this movie I can watch it over and over again every time I see it I het excited and a bonus THE OPENING SCENE is the best ever!!
Props to Deep Roy.
i love the movie.....bad that no part 2 is there
Wow, definitely a new found appreciation for the amazing film ❤️
So much work and effort put into a stinker of a movie
If somebody made a bunch of lifelike puppets that looked exactly like me I think I'd have an existential crisis
Still not a fan of the movie but I respect the amount of work that went into it.
Same but yeah the work is insane
i remember watching the behind the scenes for everything at the end of the dvd
The wee fella who played the Oompa Loompa was in a couple of episodes of East Bound and Down, too funny 😂
Deep Roy probably was freaked out seeing all those robots of himself 😂
This movie needs more love, man. It’s a second adaptation in my eyes, not a remake of the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, so it shouldn’t get that default remake hate. It’s not even that cheesy. It’s classic Tim Burton and Danny Elfman magic mixed with Roald Dahl horror
I was 23 yrs old on that year
and this film was like nearly 20 years ago!! hats off to the team.
I have a new found respect for this movie
WAIT NO WAY HANG ON I SAW ONE THOSE AND IT WAS ACTUALLY NOT HUMAN MOTION IT WAS ROBOTI KNEW IT I KNEW ITTTTTT LES GOOOOO
So much effort. I don’t know how people have so much energy in life.
All this hard work paid off
It is incredible how Willy wonka was made well ahead of its time. I can’t believe it was made 20 years ago. I remember watching it as a kid thinking that every playground should be like this.
Super editing like
AMAZING!!! I watched this when i was a kid without much thought about the behind the scenes but wowwww
That’s so adorable
Has anyone really re-watched this since it launched?
I have rewatched this mostly because I'm A Johnny Depp fan. When compared to the classic original Willy Wonka film starring the great Gene Wilder this film doesn't even come close to capturing the wonder and awe-inspiring charm of the original.
This had to be nightmare fuel for Deep Roy
OMG I grew up with this movie. So thankful to watch this
Bruh I literally watched this movie today, what a crazy coincidence
This movie was _millions_ of times better than "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." That one's a cult classic, but as a movie and especially as a tribute to the actual book, this one takes the cake by far.
Personally I prefer the 1971 adaptation, but I must say that this version has a lot to offer.
No this movie was Trash. The original was Far better.
It was more quotable for sure, but geese that lay chocolate eggs? What in the world?
@@Abelhawk true
@@Kinseliplier agreed well said 😊
All this effort for a subpar adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I find this endlessly fascinating!
I love that I got a UA-cam KitKat commercial before this started playing., ha ha.
When making movies was art not just some money grabbing technique
Hi
Wow. If that’s how much effort was put into this movie, I can’t imagine how much time they spent making the first movie.
this is pure movie magic. so much work put into this movie, a true cinematic masterpiece
Didn’t realize how much work was done for this movie
