I think the reason for all the remakes, sequels, and prequels is because they either can’t think of new material that hasn’t been done already, or because the people at the top don’t want to take the risk funding it. For them it’s easier to create a story around something already made and it looks like guaranteed money from those who loved the original will most likely come see it.

I also really liked it. To me, adults who complain too much about it are just too nitpicky and obnoxious (like the parents in the original movie). This movie is fun and heartwarming and colorful, which is a really nice change with all the stuff that is being released lately in the cinemas.

1) Wonka didn’t care for the bratty kids because they were spoiled and selfish, which it why he was upset with Charlie in the end but changed attitude when Charlie gave up the gobstopper. Since Charlie showed character he gave him everything. We was just going to have the kids change their ways after they were all fixed up because he knew they were going to be ok. 2) This is a wonka that hasn’t experienced actual business yet. And business can change a person, especially when it is successful.

My favorite part is definitely "Oh...oh...Oh...Ooh..oh-" Like that was so unnecessarily needed.

Also, in James and the Giant Peach (The Book), The setting is a seaside town with just a random whimsical man there and the peach also just casually rolls through a chocolate factory, so its safe to assume that those two books are in the same universe, and I love how this movie claims it supports the Roald Dahl Connected universe and then actually follows through with the details

The problem with these prequel movies is that as a completely stand alone movies they’re fine, but the fact that they’re latched onto an already existing story makes any achievement they make feel somewhat hollow as it doesn’t quite match with the original story that it’s supposedly leading up to

OH YEAH. A kid is so gonna choose the gene wilder version over this version EVERYTIME. The only people I’ve ever met who like the gene wilder version are full grown adults. And sadly buddy this movie and the the original are kids movies. Not really made for you anymore bud

12:22 They are definitely putting something in the chocolate. I think its a bit unfair to compare this movie to the Wilder Willy Wonka movie, since the character originate in a book. At the same time, this movie contains some of the details that links it with that movie.

I like how wonka can't read in this movie, but he read the no daydreaming sign earlier in the movie

The sign is pointed to and the cop holds out a hand for the fine. Whether he understood it or saw the number and knew it must be a fine for daydreaming after the guy says "no daydreaming" and points at it, or whether they forgot he couldn't read, i dunno

The officer says "no daydreaming" so Wonka never needs to read it. During the song if you keep count of the coins he has, he should have 6 at that point. The lady with the baby only takes 1, and Wonka loses the last. This means he understood what the officer meant, but still couldn't read the sign as he paid 4 instead of 3.

Roald dahl actually didn't like willy wonka and the chocolate factory. Wonka isn't supposed to be that uncanny. Charlie and the chocolate factory is much closer to the book in characterization

I loved the random little jazz song in the middle of the video!

I relate so hard to the comment about drinking. I once got pulled over on the way home from work and the cop made me get out of the car and asked if I had been drinking (not sure why, I was just going 5 MPH over). I told him no I was coming home from work. He later asked me again if I had been drinking and I told him I don’t drink. He looked at me like I was insane.

I still found the prequel better than rubbish tom and jerry willy wonka and the chocolate factory cartoon version because at least in this one slugworth had his own actual dong rather than singing veruca's song

i feel like this would have been SO much better if i didnt have the old movies to compare it to. I hated how they completely changed his backstory, like where tf is his dentist father? Thats one of the big reasons why he became Wonka in the first place

It was mainly filmed in Oxford the round building is the Radcliffe camera and a lot of it was filmed in and around some of the Oxford colleges

The og movie and book was showing how he moved far away from his childish wonder and the reason he made chocolate and candies in the first place (kinda like how wonka portrays him and his origins) the reason he’s so different and detached in the og movie is the whole point of his character in pretty much all the movies and especially in Charlie and the glass elevator 👍he’s a man who lost his wonder and is trying to find someone to replace him who has that same spark he once did for making candy and chocolate

yeah, how do you think charlie's character is similar to willy's character in this wonka movie

Wonka never went out of his way to punish any of the children in the OG. They punished themselves by being greedy and stupid and ignoring the clearly laid out rules and warnings. He just didn't baby them or feel all that sorry for them when their stupidity/greed INDEED landed them in hot chocolate.

I truly don’t understand the huge focus on Noodle’s character development and story arc, when this is a Wonka origin story. The movie literally could have been called Wonka & Noodle. I felt like we could have used that time to explore how he collected all of his exotic ingredients and all the unexplained magic.

I was looking for someone who thought the same. I liked her but it reminded me to the witcher s3, which could perfectly be called yennifer and ciry

After watching it for a few times, this movie feels isn't necessarily supposed to be a prequel (even if it was advertised as so) but rather a love letter to the idea of Wonka that most have in their heads. Even knowing how dark the books and OG movies are I still have this idea of the whimsy of Wonka, and I think the movie captured that idea perfectly. The setting of a young Wonka lends to this because it's supposed to be before he becomes recluse and cynical and completely beaten down by the world, while exploring in part how much of a toll it starts to take on him throughout the movie. This movie definitely should not be handcuffed to the other works but rather tied loosely to the idea, whimsy, and imagination of Wonka and the impact of society therein. But that's just how I feel 😁

Actually, Wonka's shift in personality is co.pletely logical. As we know, Ficlegrubber, Prodnose, and Slugworth are all back up and running by Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and ruin Wonka's life AGAIN by stealing his recipoes. That would send me mentally insane too.

I always assumed, as a child, Germany but I think that's because Gene Wilders Willy Wonka was filmed in Germany and the production team did not even try to hide it. But the book is set in UK/Great Britain like you said.

Wonka gives me horror movie villain origin story in this thanks to the line delivery, which actually makes sense considering the child ending deathtrap of a factory he ends up with

He's just starting out, so it makes sense.

This may have messed with the Willy Wonka cannon quite a bit but if this movie if anything pulled on my heart strings, and you better believe those strings are BIG, as big as the factory itself.

The best part of Wonka was the ending... where they recycled musicals from the original and had him in his factory. It's almost as if he belonged in his own little world of magic instead of forcing whimsy on a mundane world.

I remember in an interview Paul King who was the director stated that Wonka takes place 20-25 years before the original movie which leave many years for a dark turn to occur in Wonka’s life. This movie is showing how Wonka gained his success in selling chocolate.
