FAMILY REACTS!! Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory | MOVIE REACTION 

Fun fact: The actresses who played Veruca and Violet had a huge crush on the kid who played Charlie, and they would spend all the time they could with him.

There's a fan theory that has never been confirmed, nor denied, but some think the Candy Man is an agent for Willy Wonka. He knows how Charlie is a kind young man, who does things for others and hardly asks for anything in return. He knew the Wonka Bar he handed Charlie was the winner, this would be why he suggested Charlie buy it instead.

This is the best version of the story. Gene Wilder will always be Willy Wonka to me.

"The suspense is killing me. I hope it'll last!"

Haven't watched yet so dotn know if you discuss this, but I'd love you all to watch the 2005 version because I'd love to see how you guys react to that one compared to this. It's very underrated imo

This movie's a lot funnier than I remember!

This movie for me is straight up magical cinema, similar to The Wizard of Oz. Plus, both happen to be dark comedies, this one especially usually by courtesy of Gene Wilder.

I love this beautiful movie. A classic that teaches real lessons.

Definitely a comfort movie of sorts, it's kind of funny to if you think about it

46:14 The boat ride through the tunnel shows each of their fears. Everyone else's was the fear of bugs, gross animals, animals dying, other general creepy crawlies. But Charlie's was Slugworth. A man who was a perceived threat, not to Charlie, but to Wonka. I just find that an interesting, nice touch.

Classic movie of all time

What I liked about this movie is its allegorical use of the 7 Deadly Sins through its characters. Augustus Gloop: Gluttony Mike Teevee: Sloth Veruca Salt: Greed Charlie Bucket: Envy The people who searched for the golden tickets: Lust Violet Beauregarde: Pride Willy Wonka: Wrath

RIP Gene Wilder

49:30 I think the kids met up with Slugworth (Mr. Wilkinson) outside the factory gates and received the money for the gobstopper and that was their "promised" prize. I think that Willy Wonka was upset that Charlie broke the rules. And he was begining to think Charlie wouldn't pass the test. Then, Charlie did.

I love this movie especially all the adult humor, sarcasm and wit

Don't forget about the man who suddenly got everything he ever wanted, he lived happily ever after

I love Gene Wilder as willy wonka🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Guys go back and watch the Tarantino movies you haven't seen yet!

As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Movie's 😊

Fun fact: It was Gene Wilder's idea to have Wonka make his grand first appearance by limping out with a cane, then doing a somersault to surprise everyone. Not sure if this was the intention he had in mind, but it also sets up the tone that for the rest of the movie, nothing is what it seems with Wonka or the factory.

The cup flower that Gene Wilder drinks from and then bites was made out of wax. Gene Wilder said in an interview he had to wait till Mel Stuart said “Cut” before he could spit it out.

You know this was produced in the 1970s when the Oompa-Loompa's song about Violet lowkey recommends chewing gum _as a substitute for smoking._

You definitely need to do The Witches (1990) as well.

My fan theory is that Wilkinson/Slugworth knew where all 5 tickets were, and as soon as he got word one was found, Wonka dispatched him with instructions.

Omg u guys iconic movie. This entire movie was filmed in Munich Germany and....... An iconic actor plays Willy Wonka

After many years, the tunnel scene remained as one of the biggest mysteries in the entire movie.

I don't think it was about giving the gobstopper back at the end. I think it was giving it back, as an apology. Charlie showed, that he could make a mistake, as we all do, and that he would show sorrow for his transgression. The other children made mistakes. But there was no apology or contrition.

Psychedelic effects in the tunnel scene

1. I first saw it when I was 10. 2. Ronald Dahl the book author was a well-known LSD user. (you can see why) 3. The Umpa Lumpas told the reverent portion of the story. Anything beyond that would have been unnecessary and overkill 4. I suspect Wonka knew which children would win the tickets (lessons for our behalf) because Slugworth was at the scene almost immediately. 5. Many people (especially women) seem to get a creepy feeling from Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka. 6. This is the only roll Peter Ostrum/Charlie. He's now an Veterinarian. 7. After reading the script, Gene Wilder said he would take the role of Willy Wonka under one condition: that he would be allowed to limp, then suddenly somersault in the scene when he first meets the children. When director Mel Stuart asked why, Wilder replied, that having Wonka do this meant that "from that time on, no one will know if it's real or not." Stuart asked, "If I say no, you won't do the picture?" and Wilder said, "I'm afraid that's the truth." 8. Fun fact: Veruca/Julie Dawn Cole didn't have any adult with her when they went to Germany to film the movie so Gene Wilder himself stepped in to make sure she was taken care of.😎 9. You can get away with anything in a musical.

I read this book in third grade. Wasn’t even assigned, just read it on my own. Then I watched the movie, this was about 1981 or so. Whoa. It’s a perennial favorite. Anyway, if I could have a lickable wallpaper, I’d have to say snozzberries. Because I just want to know what they taste like. 🤔

One of my favorite moments is when Willy unlocks the music door and he’s clearly playing Mozart but Mike Teevee’s mom smugly says “Rachmaninoff”. “We are the music-makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams.”

You should watch the Tim Burton 2005 one and compare the two!

in the original version, they were shredded into little ribbons by the glass

I hope you guys react to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory someday.

I'm so glad you laughed at the "move the test to Monday before we've learned it" line. Such an underrated moment!

Anyone notice the candy shop owner is rail thin? Probably never eats a bite out of his own stock.

I'm watching this movie when I was a kid😊

The scene where Willy Wonka's cane gets stuck and he does that somersault was Gene Wilder's idea. He said that after that you would never know if Willy Wonka was telling the truth or lying.

Thank you so much for this reaction! I loved watching this growing up, and I got do the stage musical adaptation a few years ago. If loved this i must recommend Johnny Depp’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Also if you’re interested for more films based on the works by Roald Dahl i highly recommend James and the Giant Peach(1996), Matilda (1996), Matilda the Musical (2022), The BFG (2016), The Witches (1990), The Witches (2020), and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968). 🎩🍫🍬🍭🎟️💜💛🤎

Best movie ever made 🎉

I love this movie so much

I love the fact that this is a "kids" film adults "get". You have slavery (oompa loompas paid in cocoa beans not money). Willy Wonka is a psychopath and possibly attempted murderer, bits of horror (chicken being beheaded in tunnel graphics) Overall it is everything suitable in a film targeted to children. (sarcasm)

This was my favourite film as a child and whenever I’m feeling blue or I’m down I throw this film on and it makes me happy again. One thing that has always intrigued me is when Willy Wonka says “My Boy.” Could Willy Wonka be Charlie’s father?

It is so funny how this movie bombed bad in the theaters and the writer of the book hated it. It has become such a classic. The remake the family demanded was more in line with the book.
