Having proven itself as a favorite film of children around the world, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is every bit as entertaining now as it was when originally released in 1971. There's a timeless appeal to Roald Dahl's classic children's novel, which was playfully preserved in this charming musical, from the colorful carnival-like splendor of its production design to the infectious melody of the "Oompah-Loompah" songs that punctuate the story. Who can forget those diminutive Oompah-Loompah workers who recite rhyming parental warnings ("Oompah-Loompah, doopity do...") whenever some mischievous child has disobeyed Willy Wonka's orders to remain orderly? Oh, but we're getting ahead of ourselves ... it's really the story of the impoverished Charlie Bucket, who, along with four other kids and their parental guests, wins a coveted golden ticket to enter the fantastic realm of Wonka's mysterious confectionery. After the other kids have proven themselves to be irresponsible brats, it's Charlie who impresses Wonka and wins a reward beyond his wildest dreams. But before that, the tour of Wonka's factory provides a dazzling parade of delights, and with Gene Wilder giving a brilliant performance as the eccentric candyman, Wonka gains an edge of menace and madness that nicely counterbalances the movie's sentimental sweetness. It's that willingness to risk a darker tone--to show that even a wonderland like Wonka's can be a weird and dangerous place if you're a bad kid--that makes this an enduring family classic. --Jeff Shannon
good movieReview date: 2010-07-26 Rating: 6 out of 10This is the original willy wonka movie with gene wilder, maybe not one of his best movies and it is a bit weird in places, basicly the story is that wonka (wilder) is putting gold tickets in certain wonka chocolate bars kids from all over the world buy up tons of the bars in hopes of getting a gold ticket, if you find one you get to visit the wonka candy factory. Yes its a kids movie but i think adults will enjoy it as well, no swearing, sex or violence. jack albertson is the boys grand father who gos along with charlie (He finally got a gold ticket) on a wonderfull magical tour of the candy factory, and of course thats where they meet the oompa loompas. Roy kinnear is allso in it. Do i recomend it? yes i think this movie should be in your library.
ReviewsDisappointedReview date: 2010-07-23 Rating: 2 out of 10I absolutely love the movie, but I would have appreciated it if you stipulated prior to the purchase of the dvd that it would not come in it's original case. It doesn't look as good on the shelf in a dinky little cd case with no label.Wonka is a PIMP IN CONTROL.Review date: 2010-07-21 Rating: 10 out of 10What can I say? This movie is beautiful, and Gene Wilder makes it CLASSIC. The movie really picks up once you get past the awkward pre-Chocolate Factory musical sequences, such as the "candy man" scene where he kisses kids and pats their asses. Once you get inside that factory it's a mind trip from then on. Pay attention to Wonka/Wilder. He says the perfect lines with the perfect tone with the perfect whip of his cane. The part at the end where Wonka has Charlie push the button in the elevator that never has been pushed is reminiscent of taking an acid strip.Great for kids.Review date: 2010-07-19 Rating: 10 out of 10This is the best movie and i love Gene Wilder! so charming to kids.Excellent product,prompt serviceReview date: 2010-07-18 Rating: 8 out of 10Excellent produce from the "recent past" of movie making. This is the "one and only" Willy Wonka for my money. Service was prompt and very satisfactory.
