I like how Tim's wonka is younger thus his is more bombastic. He is a young man with his entire life before him. A life of pure imagination waiting to burst from him. Genes is beautiful, but always hit me as sad. Even before the new one came out. He is a man at the end of his life. No longer looking to share his work with the world, but with one person to carry on his work after he passes on. Tim is excited about the life of pure imagination. Gene is sad he will have to live this perfect life. There is no life I know that compares to pure imagination indeed.

There were a few moments in the film when Timothy captured Gene’s facial expressions perfectly! He truly portrayed this role with love and respect. It was wonderful!

Never knew what a beautiful voice Timothee had. Gene was magical as Wonka still one of my all time favourite movies.

This is how you revive a legacy character. Unlike Will Smith and Genie, Timothee put his ego aside (or the directors didn’t ego-cast) and became Wonka. He and Gene are still very different interpretations, but the spirit of the character is the same

Now I'm imagining a passage with Gene Wilder's Wonka observing his factory as if remembering his early days in the business, singing the last verse with nostalgia.

Idk why this brings tears of joy to my eyes…maybe because, as a child of the 70s, I have such fond memories of this movie…and the new Wonka so honors the original in its own unique way. Thanks, Gene and Timothee… ❤ Thank you to the individual who fused these two and published this! ❤

I always thought Gene Wilder's line 'You can change the world... there's nothing to it' had an ellipsis there, inferring he wished that there WAS more to it, but, regrettably, there wasn't. This, to me, is evident in him virtually speaking that second clause under his breath.

There were so many nods to Gene in the new one. I spent half of it crying.

Love both versions of this song..... I grew up with Gene, but absolutely love Timmy's version as well.... it brings new life to the song and I feel that Tim was able to keep the same childlike wonder that was intended for the song..... haven't watched Wonka yet, but this gives me high hopes for Timmy's performance

This BLEND of these two wonderful "Wonkas" is truly fantastic!!! Loved them both!! Of course,.....there will NEVER be another Gene Wilder!! But Timothee Chalamet did do his memory justice!! Great Job!!! Can't wait to see the movie!!🤩🤩🤩🤩

This video isn’t about comparison but a duet singing the same song. Both did a great job!!!! It’s a beautiful song!

I won’t lie, I’ve always loved this song, this makes my heart dance 😊

The fact the book never fleshed Wonka out saddens me. Glad to see we got two version of Wonka's origins.

Gene Wilder gives the more eerie vibe of his version to his version of ‘Willy Wonka’, so did Johnny Depp while, Timothée Chalamet is happy, kind, and caring of his version of ‘Willy Wonka’. Timothée is just playing as the young Wonka before his trauma started to show, in ‘Charlie & The Chocolate Factory’. This was truly a beautiful way to end the story ‘Wonka’. Wonka will always be one of my favourite movies as hoe beautifully written it is. How this song warms my heart when Wonka was looking at Noodle with a small smile when she walked toward her mother. Even those small details mean a-lot. So does the bright colours in this movie. The dude who made this movie come to life I want to just give a big hug rn. This movie is just like out of a child’s fantasy, a dream. Thank you, cast of ‘Wonka’ and Timothée Chalamet ❤🍫✨

Gene wilder never wanted a continuation of Wonka. He was adamant about it. Its a classic piece of cinema, one a huge part of all of our childhoods and that is impossible to replicate. Or so i thought. When Wonka was annouced i furious (dumb, i know but im passionate) and refused to watch it. Finally see it on max. Needless to say i was moved. There are now two wonka's: gene and Timothy's. Another classic

Wilder's lines in this almost make him sound like a ghost or a memory that Tim is interacting with.

I wouldn't mind seeing a trilogy tbh, with the third being a new take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as I don't really feel the new movie is SPECIFICALLY a prequel to the original, it very much feels like it's own thing.
