Are we going to see the new Wonka movie when it drops? 👀 do we prefer the older one Charlie and factory movie or this one?
Another video dropping this Monday! Spy kids 2!
DRINK WATER
Hi Billy Yes please watch the new Wonka, I prefer the original one instead of this one.
I am going to see Wonka and I love both of the movie versions we have so far!
i saw the first one with my dad and we both laughed the whole movie
Hi Billy There's a Trolls three that just came out it was amazing you'll like it
I prefer the second movie, though the new Wonka is definitely more related to the first, so I think it's more important to watch to get ready for the origin story
For several reasons, I actually think this is the superior version:
- More book accurate
- Better ending
- More interesting characterisation (the original characters were really basic and flat)
- Mr Bucket exists
- Better grandparents
- Superb sets
- Varied and catchy music
- Wonka’s backstory
- Dahl hated the original movie (even said it was too saccharine)
Danny Elfman is a GOD with music
When a man says his story about candy was turned too saccharine, you messed up somewhere.
Prefer the OG movie. More realistic, actual sets, not just 1 oompa loompa, had better choreo and more memorable songs. People had different personalities instead of just being a character over the top archetype. Wonka was an eccentric instead of the 2000's trope of making everyone a trauma victim.
I prefer almost everything about this one except Wonka himself. Depp’s portrayal is great but Wilder is just on another level
@@xejelah It’s meant to be whimsical, not realistic (realism is overrated, realistic doesn’t always mean better) Actual sets? The 2005 movie also has actual sets (which are more impressive than the original). One Oompa Loompa is a feat more than anything. Saying the original had better choreography is just false. Memorable doesn’t mean better. The newer songs feel like they had so much more care and detail put into them than just being the same copy/paste template. Even the genres of the newer songs reflect the kid they're singing about. And what you said about the characters makes no sense and is genuinely wrong. The original characters were the basic, boring and trope-y ones. It’s a good decision to dial up the nastiness of the other 4 kids, makes you feel less bad for them. It really feels like people only like the original because it's the oRiGInAl and the stupid mindset that the original is always the best. They think the original movie is the source material when the source material is the book (which the 2005 movie does more justice to)
I know a lot of people are somewhat mixed on this version following the book, over the less accurate, more cheery nature of the original 70's version, but for me, that's what makes this version better, in it's core Ronald Dahl's books always had some form of dark undertone in most of his works (however you may feel personally about the man in question or his works) so it does fit with the original theme of it
Actually, Roald Dahl hated the 70s version. Even though he wrote the script, so many changes were made that Dahl didn't approve. Some were even made without him knowing. For the 2000s version, Dahl's widow gave the seal of approval after seeing the Bucket house. I wish Roald Dahl could see this version. RIP
@@elizabethfeuerbach5006 yeah, and it's so weird how people will try and say the opposite by mentioning the addition of Wonka's backstory, but then forget that in the 70's version Charlie's Dad is completely non-existent along with several other things
His name Roald dahl not Ronald
@@de606returns6Because Charlie's dad was essential to the plot of this movie
@@LuvNickynGina4ever I am so sorry, I swore I typed his name right, must've autocorrected or something
Burton was completely against using CGI if he could help it, and this is another example. All the squirrels you see? They're real. In fact, they're rescue squirrels that Burton specifically hired someone to train them to do all these scenes. He even named them.
If you really want specifics, the real ones are whenever you get a close up of one, when they first attack Veruca's stunt double, and when that one squirrel pushes the dad in after her.
Also, apparently this is supposed to be ironic. She exploited nut workers to get what she wanted in the beginning, tried to do the same thing here, and it backfired.
But in the end he was thankful he did with how the scene of Violet turning into a blueberry turned out! He was able to make some scenes larger then life!
Damn, he likes squirrels more than Black people ..
Can I smell it please
And yet all the oompa loompas are 1 guy
@@Twilightgirl674 I never understood where the "Tim Burton is racist" stuff came from until I watched Wednesday and this man broke up all the white and black couples so they could only date each other, and made all the black people manipulators. IDK if he's said some racist stuff that I didn't hear but that rubbed me the wrong way.
Philip Wiegratz, the actor who played Augustus Gloop, was a trooper! Not only did he have a fat suit, not only did he have a fear of swimming which he powered through, but the boy didn't speak a word of English.
Yah he was a trooper! I heard he spoke German
@@lessismore8533I had a feeling he spoke German. 😭
@@lemonboi5833 That's why his character was in Germany lol
@@maggiemccauslin1084 oh.. I had no idea fr
The bucket house is actually the reason the movie got the green light from Roald Dahl's widow. Why? It's based off of Dahl's famous writing shed. It's common knowledge that Dahl hated the original, so naturally she was protective of any future adaptations. But when she saw the house, and found out they'd designed the Bucket house like that on purpose? That sold the deal for her.
Thats actually really wholesome❤😊
They literally could've gone in any direction with Violet. She's literally just described as being beastly, and having bad manners. Tim Burton just took that and ran with it.
Cinematography note here: the further they get inside the factory, the colors drain away. Do with that what you will. It's not just Wonka that's getting washed out, the factory is too.
He just made a huge technological invention, and there's no joy in it other than for advertising candy.
I love this movie because it's more true to the book. Plus, I love the Oompa Loompa songs.
I didn’t even know there was a book!
@@BillyBinges really?
@@BillyBingessame author as Matilda
@@BillyBinges yeah, they are several Willy Wonka books, I believe.
Yeah I re-read the book not too long ago and was shocked at how much more accurate to it this movie was compared to the original.
Sad to see how despite how crushing it is to hear Charlie say they should give up the ticket for money, you can see they're already accepting it as the truth. They're so close to starving, and literally can't afford to think they can survive on chocolate alone.
Charlie: *is actually smart and mature enough to understand they didn't much of a choice at first, and his family sadly agreed*
Nostalgia Critic: hE's lIke JeSuS
Fun fact , this movie was alot closer to the original story than thr other movie
Which one?
@@darionnasampson-gilbert8365 the 1971 film
I haven't finished the video yet, but seems he isn't aware this is based on a book, not the first movie
A version where everyone survives, and the parents are stuck with the results of their parenting style.
Augustus: mom didn't stop him from overeating.
Veruca: dad wound up in the garbage because of him spoiling her.
Violet: blue because her mom pushed her to pit herself above the others.
Mike: let technology be his son's only babysitter, and never stopped him.
So true don’t know why I didn’t clock that 😅
What about Violet's mum?
Love all of these but for Mike's son there is such thing as "being addicted" to video games. I have a friend who's a case manager and she works with some children whose parents try to take away their child's video games and the children have really bad anger issues
Just when you thought they'd learned their lessons after getting what they deserved.
@@made-line7627 Violet’s mother was one of those mothers who lived vicariously through her daughter. She can no longer do that as Violet no longer looks like her and has different talents.
This whole scene with Wonka and his father is based off when Tim Burton visited his dying mom and found out she made a scrapbook of all his movie posters.
And now I'm wondering if that in any way influenced his work on Big Fish
29:47 Violet's song was the creepiest one by far in the book:
Majority of the song is taken over by a story the Oompa Loompas tell of a woman who chewed gum everyday to the point she always needed to be chewing on something. I don't remember all the exact lines but I think it mentioned how she chewed through her hair, bit her boyfriend's nose and the story ends with her taking out her gum for bed but she chews in her sleep and bites off her tongue! 😨😨Nightmare fuel
Say what you want about them playing the dementia trope for laughs, but according to people with family members who have dementia, they all learned to treasure every moment of clarity like it's the last one. Like Charlie's doing here.
As I understand it, one possible symptom of dementia is childishness, which can be a joy to be around for their family, and have plenty of laughs. I distinctly remember a man posting about a check given to him by his grandmother with dementia, and the memo read "for candy and bubblegum". It was hilarious and adorable. I don't see anything wrong with that, especially when it seems to be a fairly accurate depiction.
Another possible symptom of dementia is violent outbursts. I'd have more of a problem with media primarily depicting dementia violently, even if it's accurate, because it might cause viewers to think all people with dementia are violent, always dangerous, and to be feared.
Anyone who's seen Biden talk should be familiar with dementia
Those moments where Grandma Georgina has clarity, she gives some truly amazing lines and moments
Charlie was a baby and felt he should make more sacrifices for his family and he was so sweet and considerate towards others. He was broke and vulnerable and starving and still had heart enough to put others first. It's so sweet he was brought up right like that, but still... he shouldn't have had to feel he was in that position ever
What got me about this movie is how thoroughly Johnny Depp disappears into Willy Wonka. Or at least, that's what it felt like when I was kid and this movie came out. Because with Pirates of the Caribbean and even Alice I was like 'yeah that's Johnny Depp doing a very good job acting'. But with this movie someone told me that was Johnny Depp and I looked at them like....damn what movie did you watch? I didn't see johnny depp no damn where 😂
same,, this and edward scissorhands showed me how an actor can really step into a role/character nd change mentally nd physically
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
Yes or him in Sweeney Todd was just amazing!!!!
@@Killuasmom_ Sweeny Todd was AMAAAAAAAAZING!!! I remember being in middle school in the chorus and The Ballad of Sweeny Todd was in one of the medleys we did. I loved how dark it was.
EXACTLY! I’ve seen very few actors with kind of imagination Johnny Depp has
Glad to see someone else mention how messed up it was that Willie's father actually let him trick or treat just to throw the candy out in front of him. WTF.
It’s funny how you mentioned that Harry Potter movies, because the actress that played Charlie’s mom is the same actress that would go on to play Bellatrix in the Harry Potter movies.
Blink and you'll miss it moment: Violet's mom gives Violet a look that says she's not sucking up to Wonka enough, which makes for a slightly better setup for why she takes the gum.
Johnny Depp is absolutely an incredible actor
Regardless if you find this Wonka off putting, this is actually more realistic considering he now has a back story. When you lock yourself away for 15 years, not to mention never getting closure on what happened between him and his dad, which made him bitter and misanthropic, this is actually close to what would come out of it.
Exactly !
The Wonka film is a backstory to the Gene Wilder movie, not this one
@@ItsDume what are you talking about?
@@videohistory722 When you said he now has a backstory, were you talking about the new Wonka movie?
@@videohistory722 And how is my comment not clear?
Telling Charlie’s dad to sell himself is crazy 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
Originally all of the brats' songs were to be the same genre of music. But Burton told Elfman to use different genres.
Elfman didn't so much as want a remake of Willy Wonka, but more a different adaption of the same source. Sadly, audiences didn't see it that way
It's hard when the original movie was so beloved. But also, I think most people's exposure to the story was the original movie and not the book? It seems a lot of people didn't even know there _was_ a book, let alone that it was the original story, so they automatically assumed it was a remake rather than a retelling.
The only issue I have with this version is the CGI. It tells a much better story than the original (makes sense since it's closer to the source material), the acting is perfect and all the music is fantastic. It's just the SnapChat filter on everyone, duplicating one actor for all the oompa-loompas and some of the other effects keep jarring me out of it. It's like it was 18 years too early for all the spectacle they wanted to show.
I remember when I read the book and I thought the songs in it were way better than the songs in the movie so I was glad that the new adaptation used them
@@lunacouer When was the oompa loompa actor duplicated?
@@lunacouer That ironic because Burton was heavily against CGI and there's very little of it in the movie, a lot of it is practical. Deep Roy being the one and only Oompa Loompa is more of an accomplishment than anything
Since i was a kid, I've always loved this movie😂❤The songs, the factory, and Willy Wonka's sass and disgust with the spoiled kids is hilarious.
For real I think that's where I got the humor from too
LMAO HOW DID I KNO BILLY WAS GONNA COMMENT ON THE MOM EATING THE CHOCOLATE 💀
You seen what I saw 👀
It's totally because of her messed up teeth and that she can't bite it, rather than...other... reasons. 🍆🤣
People with high cheekbones eating things never escape the gluk gluk allegations.
@@billbill6094uh
The scene with the squirrels and the blueberry scene will always be hilarious to me. Wonka was not giving a damn about these kids. 😂
That’s what I’m saying if I was those children’s parent I would press some charges and plus that factory is so unsafe like not safe for work standards
Because he knew they're spoiled 😂
He watched tv you know, seen their interviews, horrible
“No way I would let another grown man put candy in my mouth we gon have to box” Billy’s humor is unmatched😂❤️
i love johnny Depp it's crazy how he's able to separate his look from each of his characters when i first watched this i didn't even know it was his also the girl who plays violet i knew she looked familiar she's from bridge to Tabitha and a couple of others i seen
the humor in this version still holds up for me johnny depp really carried the film
Willy Wonka’s humour in this movie was so ahead of its time
The Gobstoppers are there to show that Wonka does actually have compassion, he just shows it the only way he knows how. Through his candy.
And you also know this is made with compassion in mind, because it doesn't make any business sense.
How many times did u comment lol??
That's right, even after saying no, Charlie still hesitated. Yes, even though he wants away from his life of poverty, he still said no. He knows he's giving up the chance of a lifetime, and he really doesn't want to give it up.
But he still does because he's so close with his family.
Basically what I'm saying is because Wonka had no support system, he's now walking away empty handed.
This is my fav adaption since it is more accurate to the book. Also Wonka's father being portrayed by Christopher Lee was genius.
According to people who suffer from flashbacks, this is actually a realistic depiction.
Like PTSD?
I suffer from flashbacks daily
Freddie Highmore was the kid who played Charlie and was actually recommended to Burton by Johnny Depp. Johnny worked with Freddie a few years prior on a film Finding Neverland and Depp was so impressed with Freddie’s acting skills, he recommended him to Burton for the film.
Freddie Highmore now plays Dr.Sean Murphy on the medical drama The Good Doctor.
Love Freddie!!
Bates Motel 👌🏽
@@Karin-fj3eu holy crud I forgot he was in Bates Motel!
Knew him before arthur, bates motel and good doctor
Charlie❤😊
Something else I never knew there was an explanation for: Violet's clothes don't rip because they're soaked with blueberry juice.
R.I.P Christopher Lee
(1922-2015)
Charlie's Mom is also Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter :)
Ikr 😂
Yooooo! I knew she looked familiar!!
I believe she also played the queen of hearts in Alice in wonderland too!
@@danthonyteam1 she did!
@BillyBinges She was dating tim Burton that's why shes in a lot of his movies as well
7:54 HE GOT IT! That was intentional to emphasize how poor the Bucke are! Also Burton designed with Roald Daul's writing shed being the inspiration!
I saw this movie in theaters and I will never forget during the scene with the burning dolls a kid started crying nearby and I just thought that was so funny, truthfully I still do lol.
Say what you want about the oompa loompa flashback, but it's here for two very good reasons.
1. It shows Wonka wasn't making it up and did not in fact kidnap them like people assumed the original did.
2. Also, it shows he was there for another reason, and found them by chance.
28:27 has to be the funniest gut reaction I’ve seen from you in a while! It was so visceral that you couldn’t have held it in if you tried 😂 I agree it was gross but I rewound it maybe 5 times just to laugh all over again haha
That was so amazing! 😂🎉
This opening sequence here is not meant to be realistic, it's supposed show how a kid would imagine a chocolate factory to look like.
This is the best version its a lot creepier. The older one was boring to me. Although i do like the main actor in both. The children in this version are way more entertaining. And the special effects are obviously better.
If I remember correctly, Willy Wonka’s backstory in this movie is somewhat similar to Tim Burton’s, from what I’ve heard. From what I remember, his mom didn’t support what he was doing (?); I don’t know if he ran away, though. But I do know he returned home, and his mom had portraits and snippets of his achievements. Don’t take this word for word because I heard about this a while ago
Verruca really is the medical term for a wart on the foot😅
I've always liked this version better since I read the book long before seeing either movie.
All the lyrics to the Oompa Loompa songs are torn right out of the book, with only a few tweaks here and there. Dahl actually wrote all those songs and to see them finally included in a film version was a delight for me. :)
I read the book after watching the first movie and I was still disappointed in the songs from the first movie after reading it.
Lmao I’m assuming Billy has never lived with the elderly. I grew up around my great grandparents and lived in a house of 4 generations once- and now my great uncle and aunt live with my grandparents. It isn’t uncommon to see them take base in the living room and walk around in diapers XD
No I never have… at this point I’ll never experience that either. But thank you for telling me because I really don’t know
@@BillyBinges No problem! It isn’t common so don’t feel too bad. Certain cultures definitely have it more often but my family is just white and poor XD I am also a rare case these days for having known my great great grandmother (she may or may not have died in my quilt that I still have at 100 yrs old ) , 8 great grandparents and 8 grandparents. That’s just the ones I know too I’ve got a very divorce happy family tree XD old people are my comfort zone lol
And yes, wonkas backstory got the thumbs up from Roald Dahl's widow.
Also, Wonka has braces because it's a nod to something similar Tim Burton went through as a kid.
While I'm still gushing here, let me talk to you about all the Oompa Loompas. You ready? They were all played by one guy, named Deep Roy. He went over every individual shot you see the Oompa Loompas in, so they could get this effect.
He was also paid the most out of all the actors. Even Johnny Depp.
@@macklyon7476 good for him!
Got to love how they show the realistic collateral damage something like a golden ticket hunt would cause on people like Charlie's dad.
Fun Fact: Michael Jackson wanted to be Willy Wonka for the movie.
I remember this! That could’ve been fun
No offense, but I would not have watched it had that happened.
@@deadsetondreams1988no one cares if a rando woman watched it or not bffr
That wouldve been really fun
Just think… if we could go BACK in time to save micheal from the cardiac arrest, this could’ve been!💙💜😊🥹
I used to do the whole Agustus Gloop dance routine in my living room, I love this movie so much.
Love this movie! I like the theory that each kid represents one of the 7 deadly sins.
Augustus = Gluttony
Veruca = Greed
Violet = Pride
Mike = Sloth
And although I don’t agree with is, some people say Charlie represents Lust because he was super eager to get that last golden ticket.
Charlie could be envy.
Be honest, if you were one of those grossly underpaid nut workers unwrapping chocolate bars for your boss' spoiled daughter, you'd be thinking about taking the ticket for yourself too.
The toothpaste is called Smilex. It's a direct reference to Tim Burton's Batman, which is what Joker called his brand of poison.
Naturally some things had to be updated to be relevant, and making Mike Teevee a genius because of technology was a brilliant way to do it. Also establishes he just did it because he could. You can see he got no real enjoyment out of it.
Yeah because they made everything identical as the book in this movie except that grandpa Joe Is not a chocolate factory emploee
charlie and the chocolate factory has to be one of the greatest movies ever
You should react to Bridge to Terabithia! It's a great movie! It's starring Josh Hutcherson, who play Peeta in The Hunger Games and by AnnaSophia Robb, who plays Violet on this version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Love your content!
2:30 its actually more fitting for his character; Charlie is 11 in the book but i remember how much it specified that he was small, thin and hungry, so him looking younger for his age is fitting to represent how poor his family is
13:30 he is looking for a job, he was looking thru the job listings
Fun fact about Johnny Depp's character design, in the book, Willy Wonka has a goatee, but when they tried this look for the film, they thought Depp looked too similiar to Captain Jack Sparrow, so they scraped the goatee and changed the look.
That scene where Charlie sees that Wonka's dad had kept track of him throughout the years with all the newspapers was based on a similar experience between Tim Burton and his mother. They had a falling out and cut ties, but towards the end of her life, Tim Burton found out she had been following his career. It's a beautiful story that I'm not doing justice
Blink and you'll miss it: you can see them pass by Oompa Loompa houses in the elevator, designed to look like the houses they had in LoompaLand.
billy: did y’all like chocolate growing up?
me has a box of chocolate next to me on my bed and pops one in my mouth “a little”
I’m not sure if you’ve done this one yet but I recommend “Meet The Robinsons” it’s my favorite animated movie and I think you’d enjoy it.
There’s a video about how they did the Oompa Loompas. It is actually all the same guy. His name is Deep Roy, lol. I dare say he had the hardest part in the movie. He had to film all those dancing scenes numerous( to say least) times.
Oh and the kid playing Charlie is Freddie Highmore. He’s older than he looks. He was 13 yrs old in this movie. He stars in “ The good Doctor” now.
Shows something you wouldn't think about: free advertising for life because the last ticket came from your candy store.
“I can fix that.” Cracked me up! Thanks for watching this movie. It was a lot of fun!
Just seeing this now, but I’ll definitely watch when the live’s over❤️ I know lots of people prefer the original with Gene Wilder, but I love both equally. When it comes to this one, the songs are complete BOPS like you said. Also Johnny Depp’s comedic timing is just top notch!!👌🏽 so many laughs from him. He was a great Willy Wonka!
So, I just noticed after watching this movie over and over for years (this is my comfort movie) that willys father was so dead serious and incredibly petty about him not being there when willy went back home that he legit moved his building out from a complex of brick buildings to the middle of nowhere.
Tbh, I liked both.
The first version has a advanced industrial revolution vibe and the second version has a modernized futuristic vibe.
Both are different but both are good.
3:31 “Grandma is gone. She is not with us.” 😂😂😂😂😂
Billy's intergenerational roasting of the Bucket family had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly 😂😂😂😂 that was the best part
Not Billy telling Tim Burton’s wife to call him😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait… that’s his wife??? I understand. I really do 😂
You a real one of you remember the dance special feature where you could learn the dances on the dvd. 📀
Johnny Depp is my favorite Willy Wonka ❤
Missi Pyles plays Violet's mom. I can't remember everything I've seen her in but i know she was in Dodgeball.
Oh and the voiceover is Christopher Lee, who plays Willy's dad. You probably recognize his voice from Star Wars or LOTR (Saruman.)
She was also in "gone girl" and "ma" ^^
Augustus IRL was actually scared of swimming, but managed to get through this anyway.
And yes, it's implied they made that puppet room just that day
Now that you’re caught up, you’ll be able to watch the one in December! I recommend the theories on this movie, some are .. dark💀
This movie was wild. I didn't even recognized Johnny. I also have a huge fear of squirrels cause of this.
I recently heard a theory that (at least the grandpa) wasn’t lazy just depressed, and seeing again how after going to the factory he didn’t feel tired really does show that.
You know each of the kids except for Charlie is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins: Gluttony, Pride, Greed, and Wrath.
It’s often been a misconception that Johnny Depp’s Wonka was modeled after Michael Jackson.
Depp admitted his approach to the role was the mix of a children’s show host with the voice as if George W. Bush was stoned out of his mind.
When I was a kid, I found myself relating to the bad kids in this movie 🤦🏾♀️. I was an only child/Dad’s little princess 👑 like Veruca. I did Karate & had a gum addiction like Violet (still do…can’t go a day w/o it 😩). My family is half German & I was a chubby chocoholic 🍫 like Augustus. And I was a gamer like Mike (if playing my game boy/ninetendo ds non-stop counts). Yikes 😳. LOL! But I’d like to think I was & still am kind hearted 💗 like Charlie!
I would give you a hug of reinsurance if I could
The chocolate room? All real.Grass, river, trees, plants? Real. Completely.
Tim Burton had nothing to do with the first one, which was made in the 70's, not the 90's. The actor who played the original Wonka was Gene Wilder.
I'm 23 and to this day this movie scares me. This was the movie that gave me the most unsettling feeling and horrible nightmares🙃😩
the first one, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder, came out in 1971
Wooden spoon survivor 😂😂😂😂, i was not beat as a child.. i had to do wall sits, hold books and write pages at the dinner table facing the front door while i watched my cousins play outside 😭.
I prefer the original version that starred Gene Wilder!! But, I appreciate both movies and, I didn’t know there was a book. Love, your reactions probably watched too many at this point
This version was a more faithful adaptation of the book than the original (a movie which the author hated). For several reasons, I like the 2005 movie so much more
Not Sam and the "I can fix that". OH my heart!
Billy Graham had me rollin 😂😂😂😂
Pretty sure both are his grandparents from both his mom’s and dad’s side.
I literally have a baby picture of me watching this movie!!! This was definitely a huggeee part of my childhood.
This wasn’t a Christmas movie, it came out in summer. I remember because I saw it on my birthday and then one more time lol.
The movie with Gene Wilder was not as loyal to the book as this one. The book itself is called CHARLIE and the Chocolate Factory. The sequel is called Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. They take the elevator into space.
So yeah, the movie is supposed to be surreal and yeah, Wonka is supposed to be a weirdo! Roald Dahl did not shy away from the supernatural and otherworldly. He also wrote Matilda, the BFG and James & the Giant Peach. I loved his books as a child.
***I mentioned the sequel because they literally have space adventures & it shows that the story is set in a universe where there are aliens 😂 so like it’s supposed to be a crazy ass story.
Grandma is gone had me dying 😂😂😂
Loved the reaction and how funny Billy is 🤣
Just saw Melverse react to Tag(2018) movie and think that Billy would enjoy it
Way ahead of ya, Billy!
The Oompa Loompas are played by the same guy (Deep Roy) and he had to repeat the dance scenes over and over. Deep Roy was also in The Grinch where he was a post office worker.
Augustus and Verucas songs are straight from the book.
