SynopsisCharlie, a young boy from an impoverished family, and four other kids win a tour of an amazing chocolate factory run by an imaginative chocolatier, Willy Wonka, and his staff of Oompa-Loompas.
This movie is probably THE most accurate book adaptation ever. Down to small stuff like the 5-second glimpse of the chocolate fudge mountain. Anything that's different is additions on top of what was already there, essentially.
@@roobyrne3075Roald Dahl died before this film came out. His wife however was heavily involved in order to make something he would like
@@roobyrne3075 Roald Dahl died in 1990.
@@roobyrne3075 He likely would've as he hated the original Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and denied the possibility of a remake during his lifetime
@@ryapowa His wife believes he would have loved it. She and her family had quite a bit more creative control than the original.
Only a few things that match modern times and the removal of a few trivial things. Such as Mike's love of violent gangster shows changing to shooting games and the reason Mr. Bucket lost his job (which also sets up the Bucket family doing well on their own for the new epilogue).
Some things like the Square Candies that look 'round would have just been a bit too random, yet would take up a bit of time to explain the joke (plus it definitely would have required CGI, which Burton wanted to use only when necessary) and focusing on all the floors labeled in the Great Glass Elevator.
Yes! I also find it impressive that the man who played all of the Oompa Loompas did every dance number multiple times instead of them just recording him doing the dance once and using cgi to copy him into different spots. So in that first number when the fat kid was stuck in the tube, he did the dance at minimum 40 times in each individual spot that was marked. If you look closely, you will see small differences. He worked hard for this and was brilliant. His name is Deep Roy
It took me until this film came out, to realize he was also in The Neverending Story.
I love Deep Roy. And it surprises me every time I learn of one of his rolls. Tiny Weeny in Never Ending Story. Some mystery roll in Little Rascals. Man's everywhere
The respects that man deserves, which will never be enough.
Wait for real? What a legend
i believe he got payed even more than johnny depp
I just love how Christopher Lee could say anything, literally anything and have it sound epic or intimidating. The man said *lollypops* like it was the trigger of the black death! We miss you Lee.
Well, he did follow the “lollipops” thing with “aught to be called ‘cavities on a stick’!”
That man's History is crazy
Forever be engraved in my mind when he shows up or just his voice...
Count Dooku.
the original author hated the 1971 version so much he refused to let anyone adapt any of his books again even Charlie and the chocolate factory until he died, this was made with the help of his wife after he passed to make a version he could truly be proud of. What i love about this accurate version is how the kids are ACTUALLY bad and not just slightly bad even Charlie in the 1971 version was just as bad as those kids and dont get me started on what they did to the grandfather they made him a buffoon that put Charlies life in danger yes yes hes a child at heart but hes still a very responsible adult
Looking at the stage musical, thank goodness Mr. Dahl isn't around to ruin what people love about it. Said show, to me, is a mix of what made all of the film versions of 'Charlie & the Chocolate Factory' so great & what made the original book so great.
Perhaps Dahl should have finished the screenplay he was doing in time so that they would not had to bring in the other guy to finish it?
Yeah, songs in that original are horrible but for Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka I forgive a lot. Also nostalgia. I grew up with the book and that -71 movie (when I realized that there is a movie after I had read the book in the -80's).
@@EiriUesugiKunthe ideal film would be Wilder’s wonka in this setting. I like Depp and I prefer this film over the 71 version but Wilder is def the superior Wonka
@@harwickbranch True.
@@harwickbranch the thing about Wonka is that he’s not Whimsical; he’s a psychotic introvert.
I read on Internet that it's thanks to Johnny Depp if Freddie Highmore had Charlie's role because he was so impressed by his acting in the movie " Finding Neverland " (where he had a role himself) and asked to Tim Burton to auditionned him.
Fun fact : the moment where Willy Wonka bumped into the elevator was in fact an accident because Johnny Depp didn't know the door was closed 😅
That’s AMAZING 🤣🤣🤣🩷🩷🩷

@@a.g.demada5263 The second part
@@16taysia yes, I was surprised when I learnt that. The second time it happens was for make us thinking the first wasn't an accident
My brother and I, still to this day, will greet each other with “Good morning, Starshine. The Earth says hello!”
I love the depth and multiple lessons you learn in Tim’s movies❣️✨
Great reaction Seb🫶
Did you know the lyric came from the song of that name in the musical 'Hair' (1967)? Then it was re-released as a single by the group Strawberry Alarm Clock in 1969.
Has anyone answered with "You twinkle above us, we twinkle below"?
Tim Burton based the office of Willy's father in an event he lived. He had a rough relation with his mother because she didn't believe he would make it as a movie director, but when he was told she was about to die he went to see her, she had in her room posters of the movies Tim Burton directed. Despite being in bad terms, deep inside she was proud of him for achieving his dream. He set that with the newspaper cuts the dentist had in his office, that despite hating the idea of Willy becoming a chocolatier, he became someone he was proud of and still loved.
He gives Wonka a fucking ORIGIN STORY and morons still say this version is more faithful than the original.
And yes, Wonka’s “I have no son” subplot was not in the book, it was added to compliment the contrast between Charlie and Wonka.
@@robbiewalker2831 So how the fuck is it more faithful to the book than the original?!
@@thomaskilroy4573thats just how inaccurate the first movie was to the book
@@thomaskilroy4573The factory is more accurate, the songs are taken right from the page, and the Oompa-Loompas actually look like their book version (small pygmies). In fact, a lot of the dialogue in the movie is taken right from the book.
“You found Wonka’s last golden ticket…in *my* shop too!”
I love the pride in that man’s voice
I mean, he literally just got free advertising for life.
It’s like the 7-11 stores who had people win the powerball
I love that guy more, when he helped Charlie from those bribing strangers
More like selfishness 😂😂
@@ZakiyaMariposa I recently reread the book and the shopkeeper helped him get out of the store there too. He was such a sweetie to tell everyone to leave Charlie alone. It's a shame the guy who wanted to buy it didn't offer Charlie money and a new bike, though, because he did in the book.
Christopher Lee is a legend. He was a spy and a nazi hunter. He's the one that inspired James Bond (he's the cousin of the author)
He was present at the last french execution.
He almost married a princess (his mother was also a countess )
He's made a heavy metal band and was part of multiple of other bands albums.
And he was in 225 films.
That man had 93 years of life. And boy did he do well with them
I hate when people say this was bad because of Johnny Depp, he flushed/fleshed out the character so much and gave him a backstory. Plus any Johnny Depp character is fine ❤
Edit: I thought it could be either flushed or fleshed, so now it’s both 👍👍
People didn’t like depp in this film?!
For me it was that Willy Wonka was a character that was fantastical, he had no need to have a backstory and his original actor wanted him to be mystical. When I saw this as a kid I liked it but the original made it feel like the adventure inside the factory was mystical due to the fact Wonka lies and fakes all throughout the movie! Can we trust him? Should we? Now that he has a backstory it made it feel like he needed sympathy, it made him into a character that felt sad when he supposedly could be that in the original. But the story should be focused on Charlie and his family IMO. Never thought of this movie as bad or anyone in it, but it's not as "imaginative" as the original where we have to imagine a lot of things. Wilder is Wonka to me.
Ps. Don't hang me! Just my opinion...
Lots of love from Sweden! :D
@@calmsquirrel7124 mostly because everyone compared it to gene wilder's willy wonka from 1971 and thought he was a poor imitation of the character from that movie, even though depp's performance - not to mention the whole movie, apart from the dad dentist bit - is much closer to the original depiction of the character from the books.
He was a terrible Willy Wonka.
Blame Burton.
Johnny Depp isn’t bad as Tim Burton’s Wonka revision. The original Wonka as played by Gene Wilder was more mysterious as well as he could belt out a really nice song. I simply prefer the original because it’s more of a musical.
What a great movie and a childhood memory for me.
Fun fact: Not only did Tim Burton direct this movie he also worked on Corpse Bride at the same time.
Basically some of the actors after a busy day on set had to go straight to the recording studio to voice their characters for corpse bride.
Two of the actors being Johnny Depp and Helen Bonham Carter.
Gotta say Tim Burton is a awesome director.
Great reaction Seb hope you react to Corpse Bride next 🙂
Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter are his favorite actors 😉

When I was a kid, I won a tour around a small, organic chocolate factory and I felt just like Charlie. At the time it was the best day of my life, we got to make our own chocolate bars and truffles.
In the past in like one of the young grades we went in a trip to a normal chocolate factory but I thought it would be like the movie and told a boy “oh my goodness I’m so excited to eat some candy and see someone fall in a chocolate river, become a blueberry, either getting in a chute or getting attacked by squirrels, and someone shrink” and he was like “yeah I’m excited”. Lol
I don't care what anyone says, this was my favorite version of the film
100% agree
Yes
SAME
YES
Me too
It took me like 15 years to be convinced that was actually Johnny Depp lmaoo As a kid i was so thrown off and refused to believe it was the same actor XD
same. for a long time as a child i didn't know what johnny depp looked like cause he looked completely different in every movie he was in. charlie and the chocolate factory/edward scissor hands/pirates of the carribbean
The way he changed this voice for this role was amazing 👏
I recall being a kid and thinking it was the dude that played Aro in Twilight, because it looked more like this actor than Johnny Depp💀
I just always FORGET he plays Wonka, I just hear “Johnny Depp” and immediately think “Jack Sparrow”
i died laughing when Augustus went into the river and Veruca said, "What are they doing?" and Seb said, "Their vibing, obviously." Caught me so off guard.
You actually nailed it, Seb. The actor playing the Oompa Loompas was filmed in separate performance for each one. His name is Deep Roy. Look him up, he's been in a LOT of movies.
I love that Deep Roy plays each separate Oompa Loompa separately, then they just added them all together.
So much better than just copying one.
He did ??? I hope he was well paid for that
Yes, he did, which is too cool! I actually got to meet Deep Roy very briefly at a convention I was at, and he was super sweet =^_^=
@@deadsetondreams1988 I'm impressed
@@a.g.demada5263he was paid each time he played a separate oompa loompa, which there's like 500 of them in the film, if I remember correctly.
@@trufoosxd well, that's perfect. He deserved that
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.
For the Chocolate Room: The Chocolate Room was built on Pinewood Studios' 007 Stage in Buckinghamshire, one of the world's largest soundstages. Production designer Alex McDowell insisted on having the river look edible. Burton wanted the river to have a real chocolatey feel and not just brown water, so they came up with a faux chocolate concoction, taking months to create a non-toxic edible substance with the right consistency. The final mixture was a mix of water and a thickening agent known as Natrosol, with food dye used to achieve the brown coloring. Wonka's boat took 20 weeks to build and incorporated 54 animatronic Oompa-Loompas, along with its own internal rowing mechanism!
For the squirrels: A good number of them were real! In total, there were 40 real squirrels, which were professionally trained by The Nut Room Animal trainer Michael Alexander and his team. They spent a total of 19 weeks training these squirrels for this one scene. The squirrels were trained to sit on stools while they opened shells and dropped them onto a conveyor belt. Originally they wanted to train 100 squirrels, however due to the fact that squirrels can be difficult to handle and unpredictable, they trained 40 and the rest was animated in afterwards.
I always liked this movie, It's a fun comfort movie for me I suppose
I also recently decided to read Charlie and the Choclate Factory Book for the first time ever, and I was honestly shocked to find that this film is more accurate to the book than the older movie that people seem to remember more fondly, and I think it's made me respect this movie a lot more than I used to in all honesty, I've also learned more about the original movie which also makes me respect this movie more but I won't get into that
Me too
Even the oompa loompa songs are, word for word, taken directly from the book
@@orange_turtle3412 A bit shortened, but I think that was for both pacing (they were pretty long by song standards) and the fact that Dahl didn't write songs, he wrote lyrics. Elfman had to make sure the melodies matched well, and some of the words just might not have flowed as well as someone who doesn't know music thinks.
This movie and the original are EQUALLY accurate. This is just accurate in different ways. Do you SERIOUSLY believe that this film which turns Wonka into a fucking child hating weirdo and gives him a fucking ORIGIN STORY is more accurate?!?! 😆🤣
The book is called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's focused on Charlie the way the 1971 movie was.
I love how despite Mike's big flaws, he was also the one who cottoned on to Wonka's bs the most.
One word to describe, wholesome. This is one of my favorite childhood movies.
Everyone who says the old version is better than this movie clearly has never read the book or knew that the author himself absolutely HATED it. The 2005 version isn't only one of the most accurate book adaptations out there, but it also does the book justice with the cinematic style, acting, costuming, set design and much more.
The ending wasn't at all accurate. The ending would have negated most of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Still, the misuse of the de-ageing pills was kind of redundant as the grandparents insisted on taking four when they knew one pill aged them down twenty years and then blamed Mr Wonka for giving them those tablets like they didn't get greedy and take too many. If they'd taken three, they would have at least been in their late teens or twenties, but nope, there were two babies and a minus because they all aged themselves down eighty years and Grandma Georgina wasn't even eighty to start with - at least Grandma Josephine was three months past eighty and Grandpa George was eighty-one. I reckon they should each have given a pill to Grandpa Joe and then all four grandparents could age down sixty years. Then they blamed him again for ageing Grandma Georgina too much when he couldn't help it, and then he aged her down to her original age easily, and she was still half inclined to scream at him when he aged up the babies because she was convinced he'd get it wrong when he never got it wrong in the first place, it was their own fault they took too many pills.
Well I for one know the author hated it and I still love the 1971 version. This one, while more accurate to the book, is so painful to watch for me and boring. Guess I'd hate the book too. I only watched this vid to see if it was as bad as I remembered it as a teen and yeah... this version sucks for me, personally.
All we know is that his wife likes this one we don't know anything about what he would have felt it's possible that he wouldn't have been happy no matter how good the film was he probably had too much pride to admit something was good. Are you also saying Mary poppins is a bad movie because the author didn't like it
@@mrcat4508 There's a big difference between a bad movie and a bad adaptation. Mary Poppins is a magical movie, but that doesn't mean it adapts the book accurately.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336yeah but wonka and Charlie’s grandpa were JERKS IN THE LAST MOVIE not making it balanced to the book by Dahl the children also made it out of the building learning a lesson not straight up dieing as wonka in 1971 wanted them dead unlike the book or this 2005 movie so I disagree.
26:23 - almost all hard candy shops here in NY still make their candy like this, using an old fashioned table and a hook for mixing. It is really amazing to watch.
Something else I never knew there was an explanation for: Violet's clothes don't rip because they're soaked with blueberry juice.
That makes sense because we literally see her clothes getting soaked during her transformation
yeah they soak violet’s clothes and that’s what makes them stretch not rip
Words cannot explain how terrified I was as a child when I saw the burning puppets for the first time.
I couldn't even remember any else of the movie. I think I was so scared, I had to stop watching.
Actually, my dear, the Japanese made a recipe of ice cream that it endures a hot day quite well, out of a strawberry cell (or seed, I don't really remember). One might even say that it this a unmelted ice cream
Edit: "why would he want to give away the factory?"
Probably because of the lawsuits coming down his throat after the way he mishandled the children while they were visiting their factory
I feel like every kid may symbolize the 7 deadly sins, even if there's only 5 of them featured. Charlie was the standout since he didn't come from much, and wasn't raised to favor chaos over authenticity. Veruca (greed, the rich kid), Violet and her mom - who the daughter unquestionably takes after (pride), Mike (wrath), Augustus (gluttony), and Charlie being the most charitable. But I feel like he also may semi-portray the observer in this film's version. Even Seb himself had mentioned some of the adjectives to describe the kids, and the Oompa Loompas vaguely/explicitly mentioned it in their songs. Perhaps Willy Wonka himself serves as Envy in this film's version, seeing as how he grew up being forbidden to indulge in sweets. So, perhaps seeing these kids get to fully indulge in what he himself wasn't permitted to do (under the watchful eye of his father, at least) made him feel more bitter towards the majority of tots who'd won his golden ticket? But, from what I'm familiar with in children's tales, this tale is cautionary in terms of a karmaic/be careful what you wish for" message.
There were originally several more kids, so you're probably on the right track. I don't remember most of them, but one was a child whose parents were permissive and let her do whatever she wanted. In the Roald Dahl museum, the desk has a draft of the Oompa-Loompa song about her attached. It's likely there were just too many kids and some were too similar to each other, so the number got whittled down from fifteen to five.
I think violet is more envy than pride and in this film mike was definitely prideful
Regardless what you feel about this movie you have to admit the soundtrack kinda goes crazy Its really good.
It's MUCH closer to the book than the Gene Wilder version. In 1971, the studio took Riald Dahl's screenplay, and ripped it to shreds, and made their version of what they thought it should be. Roald was so furious, he forbid any more adaptations while he was alive. He hated the 1971 version so much, he would go out of his way to avoid watching it.
When Mike Teavee is in the television and screamed "help me! help me!", it's a callback to the original version of The Fly (1958) where two people found a fly in a web screaming "help me! help me!" exactly as Mike did.
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.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of the first movies from Tim Burton that I watched and I loved it. I do hope you see his take on Alice in Wonderland soon.
The thing child wonka is wearing on his head is orthodontic headgear. Its essentially an archaic dental device they used to attach to your braces to help fix your bite. Its not used very often anymore, due to more efficient and more visually subtle alternatives being a thing, but it was fairly common back in the day.
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.
The horns of the first song are stellar. Really sets up the horror whimsical nature of the whole film perfectly
The Smilex toothpaste is another reference to a Tim Burton movie as Smylex was the codename for Joker's poison in the 1989 Batman movie. When Wonka passes by the pink sheep in the glass elevator, the reason he says "I don't want to talk about it" is because that is a reference to Ed Wood, another film by Tim Burton that Johnny Depp starred in. And Depp's character in Ed Wood had a fondness for pink angora sweaters. The lyrics for the Oompa Loompa songs came from the book. While Danny Elfman worked on the soundtrack, Daul is credited with the lyrics as all four songs utilize lyrics direct from the book. The Oompa Loompa actor is Deep Roy. Roy had extensive training for the role in dance, yoga, and some minor instrument playing.
Tim asked him to play five Oompa Loompas, but five quickly became 165. He said how for example there were 21 of them in a scene and as he acted out each one, they'd bring in professional dancers because he of course couldn't do all 21 at the same time. Deep Roy's dedication in stepping into all 165 roles prompted Burton to call him the "hardest-working man in show biz". The Augustus Gloop song is a Bollywood spectacle because that was Deep's suggestion! And for the vocals, that is Elfman's voice with pitch changes and modulations!
Saw this adaptation in theaters & loved it! Johnny Depp & the Oompa Loompas were ROASTING those ungrateful brats 😂🤷🏾♂️🍫
veruca literally gets taken apart in the musical as well which is disturbing
I can happily say I enjoy both versions of this film for different reasons. Wilder’s is definitely more grounded and slightly sinister, and it feels more like a “film”, if you get what I mean. While this version feels more imaginative, like the book, and has that kind of uncanny, gothic whimsy that Burton does so well, especially with Depp leading the cast.
I personally have always liked the first one more, i know it's way different from the books but i think it's more entertaining, and i'm not saying this one is bad either.
@@Smuglicense9359 Problem is that, despite what all the dumbass morons say…anyone that actually read the book would know the 70s version is WAY more accurate!
I agree, I also like both of them for different reasons 😊🥰🩷
Roald Dahl actually hated the original movie so much that he refused to allow anyone else to adapt it to film again. This one was made to bring Dahl’s true vision of the story to life. They even got his wife on board for creative direction to make sure that Roald would have approved of everything that they did here. Even the lyrics to the songs that the oompa loompas sing were taken straight from the book.
Facts
Child…Dahl’s Wife is INFAMOUS for saying he’d like stuff he wouldn’t. You clowns that call this film more accurate are DISABLED!!! The film is accurate in different ways but INSULTS on the book in more ways than even the 70s version!!! The ONLY reason Dahl disliked Wilder’s Wonka was because he was American and he was given too much focus!!! That’s it. HOW THE FUCK WOULD HE PREFER DEPP?!?! Wonka is a hyperactive kid in a man’s body who jumps around the place, is theatrical, intimidating and yet magical to be around. The Factory and Wonka are supposed to be the same thing. Wonka is the personification of the Factory itself and the Factory is an extension of his own self. In the book Charlie literally describes the factory as the most wonderful place in the world. Because Wonka is supposed to be the most wonderful man in the world, and someone that kids are in awe of. Since when the flying fuck is Wonka an awkward, nervous Michael Jackson-like weirdo who “doesn’t care” about kids (to use his own words) and doesn’t even care to hear their fucking names?! Just listen to the way Burton talks about Wonka as a character and it’s painfully obvious that he failed on a spectacular level to understand him.
Perhaps he should have finished the screenplay in time so that they would not had to use that other guy? :)
But the songs in the original are just bad... Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka though is way better than this abomination we have here. :D
@@EiriUesugiKun The original movie was created as a candy advertisement. Dahl did finish the screenplay but it was rejected because they didnt like it. Gene Wilder is okay as Wonka but he doesnt sell the idea of being secluded in a factory for years anywhere near as well as Depp does. Stop dick riding the original out of nostalgia and accept the fact that this is an objectively more accurate depiction.
The studio didn't like his screenplay. They wanted his intellectual property with their own spin.
I think they really nailed the cast for this movie
Unfortunately they gave the wrong performances.

@@thomaskilroy4573 shush
FUN FACT
The guy who played the Oompa Loompa, shot each scene individualy to make it look non copy n pasted. Meaning he did the dance a ton of times, just a foot to the left or right difference each time. If you add each Oompa Loompa's screen time together, that guy is a main character
Lol the way Seb gets more British when he hears other British people is absolutely adorable!
This is the Charlie and the chocolate factory I grew up with. To me this is the best one, and I have seen the original but to me I enjoy this one much more, plus Johnny Depp nailed the Wonka character.

@@thomaskilroy4573 funnily enough this movie is WAY closer to the books than the first movie is.
@@willspikesHAHAHA!!! No it’s not. It’s accurate in ways the 70s version wasn’t…but it is WAY less faithful in ways that truly matter. And you clowns who call it more faithful are the morons who just PROVE you have never read the book. The book Wonka isn’t the fucking main character! The book Wonka doesn’t have PTSD and a fucking made up origin story where his Dad was a Dentist! The book Wonka doesn’t force Charlie to choose between his family and the factory and then have to be led by Charlie to fucking reconcile with his father! How the fuck is ANY of that even close to what Dahl wrote! The book Wonka IS Wilder’s Wonka. The only difference is Wilder is American and book Wonka is English. Which…Depp’s Wonka also isn’t. So how the fuck the 2005 one better?! How the fuck is the film which turned Wonka into an awkward, nervous Michael Jackson-like weirdo who “doesn’t care” about kids (to use his own words) and doesn’t even care to hear their fucking names?! You were saying something about it being “WAY closer”?! 😆🤣🤡
@@thomaskilroy4573Considering how both versions of Wonka don't like kids and are both hinted to have planned all of the movie's events, this is Wonka! He's just as sinister and joyous.
tim burton's alice in wonderland is SO underrated, sure it gathered a weird crowd in the early tumblr days, but burton had a genuine understanding of the mind of lewis carroll and the world of wonderland and even managed to expand on it in great detail
How?
I think Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka is more accurate of the human condition. Gene Wilder's portrayal makes Willy Wonka seem like a wizard who can do anything, but in this version we can see that even someone as brillant as Willy Wonka is not perfect.
Freddie Highmore who plays Charlie had previously worked with Johnny in Finding Neverland and Johnny had been so impressed with him he recommended him for the part of Charlie.

12:33 made me burst out laughing when your face went from half smile to not amused 😂😂😂
Till this day, this is one of my favourite live action movies. I used to watch it repeatedly so many times that my family got so annoyed with me. Its a really great escapism film that makes you feel like you're actually there😍.
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.
Got to love how they show the realistic collateral damage something like a golden ticket hunt would cause on people like Charlie's dad.
12:50 "Is this cool or creepy?" - haha, that's the perfect quote for this movie tbh.
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
Absolutely LOVED this movie as a kid I had the exact same experience with Cat in the Hat.
OMG! when i tell you i would wait each year for this movie to come on the TV because i didn't own the DVD as a child, hands down my favourite movie as kid. I also watched the original movie when i was in my teens and i have a massive appreciation for it, its great. Although i would have been terrified of the boat scene.
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.
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.
only 40 of the squirrels were real trained squirrels, the rest were CGI
@@daniellageorgiou-norman2244They said that 😭
@@AntiToff no i mean the real one were the ones that attacked veruca i think, the other ones sitting on the stool things were CGI but i can’t remember exactly
@@daniellageorgiou-norman2244 Yeah I know what you meant- I was saying that they said in their comment that the real ones were the attackers, but they did actually train squirrels to crack open nuts and that did make it in the movie
Roald Dahl actually came up with the idea. He also wrote "The Witches" and "Matilda." The songs were actually poems in the book. Funnily enough, the 1971 version "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was also a musical, but the songs were all written for the film except the scene where they're going through the tunnel.
I still think Seb needs to watch the Gene Wilder version of the film and then compare them. However, I don't know how Seb doesn't know the story - he seems surprised at every turn of events.
Was only young when this came out but I love it. Formed a good part of my childhood. I can’t be the only one surely
This was always playing on Cartoon Network for me :)
I watched this on shrooms and I was laughing my ass off and lowkey scared of Willy wonka and his murdering sidekicks 😭😭😭😭😭😭
And the good doctor 💀
Sweet shops like this definitely still exist, usually in really wealthy areas or touristy areas
23:10 "Beatniks for one..." That made me think about the Iron Giant! If you haven't watched that one Seb, I'd definitely recommend it, love your videos man, keep it up!
we need a little tim burton Halloween-y series, corpse bride and nightmare before Christmas are a must if you haven't seen them yet ❤
Scrolling at midnight found this channel.... I'm hooked
This is - and was Johnny Depp at his absolute best. The acting is so authentic. He really lives the role here. But its no just him, pretty movie every actor cast here did very well. Lovable and authentic characters.
The movie is wholesome as is the story told behind it. I know its based on a book, but still, the movie was great and kept pretty close to the book. Its crazy, also a little creepy, but thats part of the journey down the rabbit hole is'nt it?
Great movie - can watch every day!
How in hell hasn’t he seen this movie, but, I don’t really care every time Seb uploads I’m her for it ❤❤
This is THE movie that I rewatched as a child and I believe that it shaped me for the greater good 😌
Me too.
There's many reasons why I find this better than the original but here's a few, 1) Factory being so big inside and has alien technology showing why Wonka is leagues better than the competitors and 2) The Tunnel Ride not being tramautizing.
Me and my family went to see this movie in the cinema when it came out. The scene where Augustus Gloop gets stuck in the pipe was so scary for my little brother that my mum had to take him out of the room and they didn't return hahaha. To be fair, he was not even 4 years old at the time.
As others have said, this version is pretty close to the book. Wonka in the book was pretty jovial and flippant, but not quite as child-like as this version. The biggest change was Wonka's backstory, which I don't think was ever talked about in the book. The songs, though, use the lyrics from the book.
If I remeber well of something I read, yes the backstory was add.
Roald Dahl's widow herself said it was very close to the book
“you grim little creature” had me rollinggggg on the floor in tears 🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: The squirrels in the nut scene weren't actually CGI for the most part, they were real trained squirrels :DD
Seb getting annoyed at Violetta and the other kids besides Charlie is hilarious!
This movie is so weird but in the best way possible, the factory itself is a character much more than the original
"They're vibing - obviously"
Of course, what was she thinking questionning it
24:00 I’m glad you agree, whenever I say “eating sometimes feels like a chore” people get concerned 😂 but it is so time consuming!
This is an acid trip of a movie and I absolutely love it
Johnny Depp, Danny Elfman, and Tim Burton are the holy trinity and the movies they’ve done together are immaculate
Yeah, I know Danny Elfmann from the Nightmare Before Christmas!! 😊 It’s my FAVORITE Halloween/Christmas movie 🥰🩷🎃👻💀
and Helena Bonham Carter
I prefer this version of the film much more, it’s got that whimsy comforting feel.
And it’s more book accurate, not butchering the songs and characters
I've always liked the og one more, yes i know this one is more accurate but i grew up watching the og one, i just think i'ts more entertaining. I'm not saying this one is bad though, just voicing my opinion.
Love this film. Better than the original one, imo.
I think you need to realize, that, for one, Noah has Tim Burton’s aesthetic, this might be the closest version to the book, including the storyline, the songs, etc.
26:40
Tje fact that they train real squirrels for this shot will always impress me (just find out a couple of months ago)
I like both versions. I do think the original with Gene Wilder felt more ‘magical’ but this one is allegedly a more accurate adaptation of the book. Definitely watch the original one and then watch the new one when it comes out!
No it’s not. All the morons that say that are idiots. This film is more accurate in some ways the 70s movie wasn’t but it is an INSULT to the book!
"Allegedly?" I think you mean identical to the book
@@donaldtrumpling2016 I haven’t read the book hence allegedly
@@madisonm1811 well, as someone who has read the book religiously, I assure you the 05 one is just about as faithful as movie adaptations can get. One of the best movie adaptations out there
6:03 i agree man, the rich girl with the checkered black and white floor is the most common floor ive seen every time i go to play Chess.
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.
There's two things I love on this movie.
1. It's very very accurate to the book.
Even the songs lyrics.
2. The kids music IS FIRE.
The entire soundtrack is amazing!!
I listen to Mike' song sometimes on a week
The look on your face when the puppet show opened the factory... my mom heard me laughing from across the house through two closed doors lol
According to people who suffer from flashbacks, this is actually a realistic depiction.
12:37 his face when the song with the creepy electronics 😂
"How many companies have done things similar?"
I can't speak for other countries, but in the United States it's very rare, and there's a good reason for that. A promotional prize this large that requires a purchase to enter is classified as a lottery, which is illegal for a private business to run. Businesses CAN do huge promotional giveaways, but it has to be a sweepstakes, not a lottery - that is, you have to let people enter for free, with no purchase necessary. A real-life Willy Wonka would not be allowed to hide the tickets in chocolate bars, in other words - he'd have to let people sign up at no cost and then just announce the winners.
This movie is actually way more accurate to the book than the original, right down to wonka who was meant to be like this but in the old movie he was to normal, roald dahl actually hated the old movie because of how inaccurate it was to book which made him very rarely allow film adaptations after it was made
In my opinion The blueberry inflation never gets old ! Willy wonka is being iconic!
11:36: 2005 Grandpa Joe sounded like Cranky Kong when he goes “YIPPEE!”
Man, this movie is so rewatchable!
