    My god, the amount of attention to detail that went in to finding the most “hidden” locations I’ve never seen in any other videos, is mind blowing. It was the coolest thing to see the inside of the actual soundstage where the chocolate factory set was.

      @fraserkatie Рік тому +1

      Coolest thing to know Stage 9 was where the chocolate room was hey? So fascinating to see the locations too.

    OMG!!! This is one of the best videos online I've ever seen. You've brought my childhood alive again. Moreover, you've captured in great detail and accuracy all the locations. Your choice of music puts a smile on an ageing geezer's face! I truly lift my hat off to you. Take a bow. I hope you do more of these. I'm going to share this with the world. More of these, please!!

      Me too! I watch this movie once a year or so, have been doing so since I rediscovered it back in the 90's. I remember my sister taking me to the cinema to see it & I so desperately wanted to live in a chocolate factory! (I'm sure millions of kids all over the world did too).
      Wow, 52 years ago... Where did the time go?

    Since the day I saw it in the base theater, not long after it came out, "Willy Wonka and the Absolutely Staggering List of Blatant FDA and OSHA Violations" remains among my all-time favorite movies.

  • @kevinharding9232
    @kevinharding9232 Рік тому +13

    This video is award-worthy! Online videos many times are tedious and lead to nowhere. Your style is great with the split screen. Taking the movie from the beginning to the end is perfect. I live in Southern California where I know many locations of many movies that were filmed throughout the years but being able to film locations from the Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory movie has to be precious.

  • @ozymandias7940
    @ozymandias7940 Рік тому +13

    What an iconic movie! Hard to believe it was 52 years ago! Amazing, that some of the locations are still there today. I didn't realise that it was filmed in Germany/Bavaria, I've always found it curious that film makers shoot a movie based in one country, but filmed entirely in another. Even multiple countries in some cases.
    Thank you for the hard work, doing all the amazing research and returning to all these incredible locations. The attention to detail is remarkable, really enjoyed this trip down memory lane! 😊

    What a fantastic piece of work!! Without doubt, this is the best 'then and now movie location' video I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Hopefully it gets the credit that it deserves by way of millions of views and thumbs ups... Just one point though (as I have mild OCD), if only you'd waited another 48 minutes at 5:16 for the clock to match the time in the movie 😉

After all this time there is someone out there with love of this movie and found a lot of the locations for us all to see again and know they still exist, it sure dose bring back the memories of the past and im sure if Gean Wilder was still around he too would be over welmed with joy to see the spots are still there and people today still love this movie.

      From what I know, it was filmed in Germany so that American audiences would see it as "any town". If the movie were filmed in the USA, audiences would easily recognize the setting as "not my city".
