'''''Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory''''' is a 1971 American [[Musical film|musical]] [[fantasy film|fantasy]] [[family film]] directed by [[Mel Stuart]], and starring [[Gene Wilder]] as [[Willy Wonka]]. It is an [[film adaptation|adaptation]] of the 1964 novel ''[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]'' by [[Roald Dahl]]. Dahl was credited with writing the film's screenplay; however, [[David Seltzer]], who went uncredited in the film, was brought in to re-work the screenplay against Dahl's wishes, making major changes to the ending and adding musical numbers. These changes and other decisions made by the director led Dahl to disown the film.<ref name="Everlasting">{{cite web |url=https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/why-roald-dahl-hated-willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-120115179.html |title=Why Roald Dahl Hated The Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory Film |journal=Yahoo!

==Plot==
<!-- Please review [[WP:FILMPLOT]] before adding material. Plot summaries should not exceed 700 words. -->
In a small town in 1970, Charlie Bucket, a poor paperboy, watches a group of children visit a candy shop. Walking home, he passes [[Willy Wonka]]'s chocolate factory. A mysterious tinker recites the first lines of [[William Allingham]]'s poem "The Fairies", and tells Charlie, "Nobody ever goes in, and nobody ever comes out." Charlie rushes home to his widowed mother and [[bedridden]] grandparents. After telling Grandpa Joe about the tinker, he reveals that Wonka locked the factory because other candy makers, including rival Arthur Slugworth, sent in spies to steal his recipes. Wonka disappeared, but after three years resumed selling candy; the origin of Wonka's labor force is unknown.
The next day, Wonka announces that he hid five "Golden Tickets" in chocolate [[Wonka Bar]]s. Finders of the tickets will receive a factory tour and a lifetime supply of chocolate. The first four tickets are found by the gluttonous Augustus Gloop, the spoiled Veruca Salt, the gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde, and the television-obsessed Mike Teevee. As each winner is announced on TV, a man whispers to them. Charlie opens two Wonka Bars but finds no Golden Ticket. The newspapers announce the fifth ticket was found by a millionaire in [[Paraguay]] causing Charlie to lose hope. The next day, Charlie finds some money in a gutter in the street and uses it to buy a Scrumdiddlyumptious bar. With the change, he buys another Wonka Bar for Grandpa Joe. Walking home, as Charlie hears people reading the newspapers; revealing that the Paraguayan millionaire's ticket is a fake one, he opens the Wonka Bar and finds the fifth golden ticket. While rushing home, he encounters the same man seen whispering to the other winners, who introduces himself as Slugworth and offers a reward for a sample of Wonka's latest creation, the [[Everlasting Gobstopper]].
Returning home with the Golden Ticket, Charlie chooses Grandpa Joe as his chaperone. The next day, Wonka greets the ticket winners and leads them inside where each signs a contract before the tour. The factory includes a candy land with a river of chocolate, edible mushrooms, gummy bears, candy canes, and other sweets and inventions. As the visitors sample these, they see Wonka's workers, small men known as [[Oompa-Loompa]]s. Augustus falls into the chocolate river and is sucked up in a pipe to the Fudge Room. In the Inventing Room, everyone receives an Everlasting Gobstopper. Violet becomes a large blueberry after chewing an experimental gum containing a three-course meal, over Wonka's warnings. The group reaches the Fizzy Lifting Drinks Room, where Charlie and Grandpa Joe ignore Wonka's warning and sample the drinks. They float and have a near-fatal encounter with an exhaust fan before burping back to the ground. In the Golden Eggs Room, Veruca demands a golden goose for herself before falling into a garbage chute which leads to the furnace, with her father falling in trying to rescue her. The group tests out Wonka's Wonkavision, used to teleport chocolate bars and Mike also teleports himself and becomes only a few inches tall.
Right now, there's only Charlie and Grandpa Joe remaining, they assumed that they have won the lifetime supply of chocolate. But they get reprimanded by Wonka who reveals that they are not getting anything because they violated the contract by stealing the Fizzy Lifting Drinks. Infuriated, Grandpa Joe suggests to Charlie that he should give Slugworth the Gobstopper in revenge, but Charlie returns the candy to Wonka. With this selfless act, Wonka declares Charlie as the winner. He reveals that Slugworth is actually Mr. Wilkinson, an employee of Wonka, and the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a [[morality test]] that only Charlie passed. The trio enter the "Wonkavator", a multi-directional glass elevator that flies out of the factory. Soaring over the city, Wonka reveals that his actual prize is the factory; Wonka created the contest to find an heir worthy enough, and so Charlie and his family can immediately move in. Wonka then reminds Charlie not to forget about the man who suddenly received everything he ever wanted. Charlie asks, "What happened?" to which Wonka replies, "He lived happily ever after."

==Production==
===Development===
The idea for [[Film adaptation|adapting the book into a film]] came about when director [[Mel Stuart|Mel Stuart's]] ten-year-old daughter read the book and asked her father to make a film out of it, with "Uncle Dave" (producer [[David L. Wolper]]) producing it. Stuart showed the book to Wolper, who happened to be in the midst of talks with the [[Quaker Oats Company]] regarding a vehicle to introduce a new candy bar from its [[Chicago]]-based Breaker Confections subsidiary (since renamed [[the Willy Wonka Candy Company]] and sold to [[Nestlé]]). Wolper persuaded the company, which had no previous experience in the film industry, to buy the rights to the book and finance the picture for the purpose of promoting a new Quaker Oats ''Wonka Bar''.<ref name="pureimagvideo">{{cite video |people=J.M.

David L. Wolper and Roald Dahl agreed that the film would be a children's musical, and that Dahl himself would write the screenplay.<ref name="pureimagvideo"/> However, Wolper changed the title to ''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory''.
Screenwriter [[David Seltzer]] conceived a gimmick exclusively for the film that had Wonka quoting numerous literary sources, such as [[Arthur O'Shaughnessy]]'s ''[[Ode (poem)|Ode]]'', [[Oscar Wilde]]'s ''[[The Importance of Being Earnest]]'', [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]]'s ''[[The Rime of the Ancient Mariner]]'' and [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]''. Seltzer also worked Slugworth (only mentioned as a rival candy maker in the book) into the plot as an actual character (only to be revealed to be Wilkinson, one of Wonka's agents, at the end of the film).<ref name="pureimagvideo" />
===Casting===
All six members of [[Monty Python]]: [[Graham Chapman]], [[John Cleese]], [[Eric Idle]], [[Terry Gilliam]], [[Terry Jones]] and [[Michael Palin]], expressed interest in playing Wonka, but at the time they were deemed not big enough names for an international audience. Three of the members, Cleese, Idle and Palin, were later seriously considered for the same role in [[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)|Tim Burton's version]].<ref name=geek/><ref name=hnn>{{cite journal |last=Honeybone |first=Nigel |title=Film Review: ''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'' (1971) |date=April 25, 2012 |url=http://horrornews.net/50901/film-review-willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-1971/ |journal=HorrorNews.net |accessdate=July 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150709212029/http://horrornews.net/50901/film-review-willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-1971/# |archive-date=July 9, 2015 |dead-url=no |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

When Wilder was cast for the role, he accepted it on one condition:{{quote|When I make my first entrance, I'd like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp. After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I'm walking on and stands straight up, by itself; but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane.

===Filming===
[[Principal photography]] commenced on August 31, 1970, and ended on November 19, 1970. The primary shooting location was [[Munich]], [[Bavaria]], [[West Germany]], because it was significantly cheaper than filming in the United States and the setting was conducive to Wonka's factory; Stuart also liked the ambiguity and unfamiliarity of the location. External shots of the factory were filmed at the [[gasworks]] of [[Stadtwerke München]] (Emmy-Noether-Straße 10); the entrance and side buildings still exist. The exterior of Charlie Bucket's house, a set constructed solely for the film, was filmed at Quellenstraße in Munich. Charlie's school was filmed at Katholisches Pfarramt St. Sylvester, Biedersteiner Straße 1 in Munich. Bill's Candy Shop was filmed at Lilienstraße, Munich. The closing sequence when the Wonkavator is flying above the factory is footage of [[Nördlingen]] in Bavaria.

Production designer [[Harper Goff]] centered the factory on the massive Chocolate Room. According to [[Paris Themmen]], who played Mike Teevee, "The river was made of water with food coloring. At one point, they poured some cocoa powder into it to try to thicken it but it didn't really work. When asked this question, Michael Böllner, who played Augustus Gloop, answers, 'It vas dirty, stinking vater.'"<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2fb32e/i_am_paris_themmen_i_played_mike_teevee_in_the/ck7ksil |title=I am Paris Themmen.

In addition to the main scenes set in town and at the factory, several comic interludes were also shot. Uncredited screenwriter [[Robert Kaufman]] wrote several short humorous scenes related to the Wonka Bar hysteria.
When interviewed for the 30th anniversary special edition, [[Gene Wilder]] stated that he enjoyed working with most of the child actors, but said that he and the crew had some problems with Paris Themmen, claiming that he was "a handful".<ref>{{cite book| title=Pure Imagination: The Making of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory| first1=Mel| last1=Stuart| first2=Josh| last2=Young| publisher=St. Martin's Press| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9Zq2_kq2YPUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Pure+Imagination:+The+Making+of+Willy+Wonka+and+the+Chocolate+Factory&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiX67qAjOTdAhUFA6wKHaw8BSEQ6AEIJzAA#v=onepage&q=themmen&f=false| pages=85-ff| year=2005| isbn=978-0312352400}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=October 2018}}

By the mid-1980s, ''Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory'' had experienced a spike in popularity thanks in large part to repeated television broadcasts and home video sales. Following a 25th anniversary theatrical re-release in 1996, it was released on [[DVD]] the next year, allowing it to reach a new generation of viewers. The film was released as a remastered special edition on DVD and VHS in 2001 to commemorate the film's 30th anniversary. In 2003, ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' ranked it 25th in the "Top 50 Cult Movies" of all time.
''Willy Wonka'' was ranked No. 74 on [[Bravo (US TV channel)|Bravo]]'s ''100 Scariest Movie Moments'' for the "scary tunnel" scene.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.listafterlist.com/tabid/57/listid/9449/movies/bravos+the+100+scariest+movie+moments.aspx| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070801144600/http://www.listafterlist.com/tabid/57/listid/9449/Movies/Bravos%2BThe%2B100%2BScariest%2BMovie%2BMoments.aspx| archivedate=August 1, 2007| title=Bravo's 'The 100 Scariest Movie Moments'| deadurl=yes}}</ref>
On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film has a 91% approval rating and an average rating of 7.8/10 based on 46 reviews. The site's critical consensus states: "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is strange yet comforting, full of narrative detours that don't always work but express the film's uniqueness."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/willy_wonka_and_the_chocolate_factory/|title=Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory|last=|first=|date=|website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|accessdate=December 6, 2018}}</ref>
===Dahl's reaction===
Dahl disowned the film, the script of which was partially rewritten by [[David Seltzer]] after Dahl failed to meet deadlines. Dahl said he was "disappointed" because "he thought it placed too much emphasis on Willy Wonka and not enough on Charlie", as well as the casting of Gene Wilder instead of [[Spike Milligan]].<ref name="Everlasting"/> Dahl was also "infuriated" by the deviations in the plot Seltzer devised in his draft of the screenplay, including the conversion of Slugworth, a minor character in the book, into a spy (so that the film could have a villain) and the "fizzy lifting drinks" scene along with music other than the original [[Oompa Loompa]] compositions (including "[[Pure Imagination]]" and "[[The Candy Man]]"), and the ending dialogue for the movie.<ref>{{cite video| year=2001| title=Pure Imagination: The Story of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"| website=Two Dog Productions Inc.}}</ref> In 1996, Dahl's second wife, Felicity, commented on her husband's objections towards the film saying "they always want to change a book's storyline. What makes Hollywood think children want the endings changed for a film, when they accept it in a book?"<ref name="Everlasting"/>
==Animated adaptation==
{{Main article|Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory}}
In 2017, an animated adaptation of the film with [[Tom and Jerry]] was released. ''[[Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory]]'' stars JP Karliak as Willy Wonka and is dedicated to Gene Wilder, who died less than a year before the release.
==Home media==
The film was first released on [[DVD]] in 1997/1999 in a "25th anniversary edition"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dvdmg.com/willywonka.shtml |title=''Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory'' (1971) |publisher=Dvdmg.com |accessdate=May 4, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923221110/http://www.dvdmg.com/willywonka.shtml# |archive-date=September 23, 2015 |dead-url=no |df=mdy-all }}</ref> as a double sided disc containing a widescreen and "standard" version.

A special edition DVD was released, celebrating the film's 30th anniversary, on August 28, 2001, but in [[pan and scan|fullscreen]] only. Due to the lack of a letterboxed release, fan petitioning eventually led [[Warner Home Video]] to issue a widescreen version on November 13, 2001. It was also released on [[VHS]], with only one of the special features (a making-of feature). Several original cast members reunited to film documentary footage for this special edition DVD release. The two editions featured restored sound, and better picture quality. In addition to the documentary, the DVD included a trailer, a gallery, and audio commentary by the cast.
In 2007, Warner Home Video released the film on [[HD DVD]] with all the bonus features from the 2001 DVD.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://dvd.ign.com/articles/794/794613p1.html |title=Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (HD DVD) |website=[[IGN]] |last1=Conrad |first1=Jeremy |last2=White |first2=Cinty |date=June 6, 2007 |accessdate=September 30, 2018 |journal= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100327191358/http://dvd.ign.com/articles/794/794613p1.html# |archive-date=March 27, 2010 |dead-url=no |df=mdy-all }}</ref> The film was released on [[Blu-ray Disc|Blu-ray]] on October 20, 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory.html |title=News: Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory |website=DVDActive.com |accessdate=May 4, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150506000656/http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory.html# |archive-date=May 6, 2015 |dead-url=no |df=mdy-all }}</ref> It includes all the bonus features from the 2001 DVD and 2007 HD-DVD as well as a 38-page book.

==Plot==
<!-- Please review [[WP:FILMPLOT]] before adding material. Plot summaries should not exceed 700 words. -->
In a small town in 1970, Charlie Bucket, a poor paperboy, watches a group of children visit a candy shop. Walking home, he passes [[Willy Wonka]]'s chocolate factory. A mysterious tinker recites the first lines of [[William Allingham]]'s poem "The Fairies", and tells Charlie, "Nobody ever goes in, and nobody ever comes out." Charlie rushes home to his widowed mother and [[bedridden]] grandparents. After telling Grandpa Joe about the tinker, he reveals that Wonka locked the factory because other candy makers, including rival Arthur Slugworth, sent in spies to steal his recipes. Wonka disappeared, but after three years resumed selling candy; the origin of Wonka's labor force is unknown.
The next day, Wonka announces that he hid five "Golden Tickets" in chocolate [[Wonka Bar]]s. Finders of the tickets will receive a factory tour and a lifetime supply of chocolate. The first four tickets are found by the gluttonous Augustus Gloop, the spoiled Veruca Salt, the gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde, and the television-obsessed Mike Teevee. As each winner is announced on TV, a man whispers to them. Charlie opens two Wonka Bars but finds no Golden Ticket. The newspapers announce the fifth ticket was found by a millionaire in [[Paraguay]] causing Charlie to lose hope. The next day, Charlie finds some money in a gutter in the street and uses it to buy a Scrumdiddlyumptious bar. With the change, he buys another Wonka Bar for Grandpa Joe. Walking home, as Charlie hears people reading the newspapers; revealing that the Paraguayan millionaire's ticket is a fake one, he opens the Wonka Bar and finds the fifth golden ticket. While rushing home, he encounters the same man seen whispering to the other winners, who introduces himself as Slugworth and offers a reward for a sample of Wonka's latest creation, the [[Everlasting Gobstopper]].
Returning home with the Golden Ticket, Charlie chooses Grandpa Joe as his chaperone. The next day, Wonka greets the ticket winners and leads them inside where each signs a contract before the tour. The factory includes a candy land with a river of chocolate, edible mushrooms, gummy bears, candy canes, and other sweets and inventions. As the visitors sample these, they see Wonka's workers, small men known as [[Oompa-Loompa]]s. Augustus falls into the chocolate river and is sucked up in a pipe to the Fudge Room. In the Inventing Room, everyone receives an Everlasting Gobstopper. Violet becomes a large blueberry after chewing an experimental gum containing a three-course meal, over Wonka's warnings. The group reaches the Fizzy Lifting Drinks Room, where Charlie and Grandpa Joe ignore Wonka's warning and sample the drinks. They float and have a near-fatal encounter with an exhaust fan before burping back to the ground. In the Golden Eggs Room, Veruca demands a golden goose for herself before falling into a garbage chute which leads to the furnace, with her father falling in trying to rescue her. The group tests out Wonka's Wonkavision, used to teleport chocolate bars and Mike also teleports himself and becomes only a few inches tall.
Right now, there's only Charlie and Grandpa Joe remaining, they assumed that they have won the lifetime supply of chocolate. But they get reprimanded by Wonka who reveals that they are not getting anything because they violated the contract by stealing the Fizzy Lifting Drinks, as well as dirtying the ceiling and walls in which they were contained. Grandpa Joe feebly attempts to reason with Wonka, but he firms his resolve and strictly commands him and Charlie to leave the factory without saying another word. Infuriated, Grandpa Joe suggests to Charlie that he should give Slugworth the Gobstopper in revenge, but Charlie returns the candy to Wonka. With this selfless act, Wonka declares Charlie as the winner. He reveals that Slugworth is actually Mr. Wilkinson, an employee of Wonka, and the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a [[morality test]] that only Charlie passed. The trio enter the "Wonkavator", a multi-directional glass elevator that flies out of the factory. Soaring over the city, Wonka reveals that his actual prize is the factory; Wonka created the contest to find an heir worthy enough, and so Charlie and his family can immediately move in. Wonka then reminds Charlie not to forget about the man who suddenly received everything he ever wanted. Charlie asks, "What happened?" to which Wonka replies, "He lived happily ever after."

==Production==
===Development===
The idea for [[Film adaptation|adapting the book into a film]] came about when director [[Mel Stuart|Mel Stuart's]] ten-year-old daughter read the book and asked her father to make a film out of it, with "Uncle Dave" (producer [[David L.

Stuart showed the book to Wolper, who happened to be in the midst of talks with the [[Quaker Oats Company]] regarding a vehicle to introduce a new candy bar from its [[Chicago]]-based Breaker Confections subsidiary (since renamed [[the Willy Wonka Candy Company]] and sold to [[Nestlé]]). Wolper persuaded the company, which had no previous experience in the film industry, to buy the rights to the book and finance the picture for the purpose of promoting a new Quaker Oats ''Wonka Bar''.<ref name="pureimagvideo">{{cite video |people=J.M.

David L. Wolper and Roald Dahl agreed that the film would be a children's musical, and that Dahl himself would write the screenplay.<ref name="pureimagvideo"/> However, Wolper changed the title to ''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory''.
Screenwriter [[David Seltzer]] conceived a gimmick exclusively for the film that had Wonka quoting numerous literary sources, such as [[Arthur O'Shaughnessy]]'s ''[[Ode (poem)|Ode]]'', [[Oscar Wilde]]'s ''[[The Importance of Being Earnest]]'', [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]]'s ''[[The Rime of the Ancient Mariner]]'' and [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]''. Seltzer also worked Slugworth (only mentioned as a rival candy maker in the book) into the plot as an actual character (only to be revealed to be Wilkinson, one of Wonka's agents, at the end of the film).<ref name="pureimagvideo" />
===Casting===
All six members of [[Monty Python]]: [[Graham Chapman]], [[John Cleese]], [[Eric Idle]], [[Terry Gilliam]], [[Terry Jones]] and [[Michael Palin]], expressed interest in playing Wonka, but at the time they were deemed not big enough names for an international audience. Three of the members, Cleese, Idle and Palin, were later seriously considered for the same role in [[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)|Tim Burton's version]].<ref name=geek/><ref name=hnn>{{cite journal |last=Honeybone |first=Nigel |title=Film Review: ''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'' (1971) |date=April 25, 2012 |url=http://horrornews.net/50901/film-review-willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-1971/ |journal=HorrorNews.net |accessdate=July 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150709212029/http://horrornews.net/50901/film-review-willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-1971/# |archive-date=July 9, 2015 |dead-url=no |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

When Wilder was cast for the role, he accepted it on one condition:{{quote|When I make my first entrance, I'd like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp.

===Filming===
[[Principal photography]] commenced on August 31, 1970, and ended on November 19, 1970. The primary shooting location was [[Munich]], [[Bavaria]], [[West Germany]], because it was significantly cheaper than filming in the United States and the setting was conducive to Wonka's factory; Stuart also liked the ambiguity and unfamiliarity of the location. External shots of the factory were filmed at the [[gasworks]] of [[Stadtwerke München]] (Emmy-Noether-Straße 10); the entrance and side buildings still exist. The exterior of Charlie Bucket's house, a set constructed solely for the film, was filmed at Quellenstraße in Munich. Charlie's school was filmed at Katholisches Pfarramt St. Sylvester, Biedersteiner Straße 1 in Munich. Bill's Candy Shop was filmed at Lilienstraße, Munich. The closing sequence when the Wonkavator is flying above the factory is footage of [[Nördlingen]] in Bavaria.

Production designer [[Harper Goff]] centered the factory on the massive Chocolate Room. According to [[Paris Themmen]], who played Mike Teevee, "The river was made of water with food coloring. At one point, they poured some cocoa powder into it to try to thicken it but it didn't really work. When asked this question, Michael Böllner, who played Augustus Gloop, answers, 'It vas dirty, stinking vater.'"<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2fb32e/i_am_paris_themmen_i_played_mike_teevee_in_the/ck7ksil |title=I am Paris Themmen.

In addition to the main scenes set in town and at the factory, several comic interludes were also shot. Uncredited screenwriter [[Robert Kaufman]] wrote several short humorous scenes related to the Wonka Bar hysteria.
When interviewed for the 30th anniversary special edition, [[Gene Wilder]] stated that he enjoyed working with most of the child actors, but said that he and the crew had some problems with Paris Themmen, claiming that he was "a handful".<ref>{{cite book| title=Pure Imagination: The Making of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory| first1=Mel| last1=Stuart| first2=Josh| last2=Young| publisher=St. Martin's Press| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9Zq2_kq2YPUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Pure+Imagination:+The+Making+of+Willy+Wonka+and+the+Chocolate+Factory&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiX67qAjOTdAhUFA6wKHaw8BSEQ6AEIJzAA#v=onepage&q=themmen&f=false| pages=85-ff| year=2005| isbn=978-0312352400}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=October 2018}}

==Reception==
''Willy Wonka'' was released on June 30, 1971. The film was not a big success, being the 53rd highest-grossing film of the year in the U.S., earning just over $2.1 million on its opening weekend.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/1971/0WWCF.php |title=''Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory'': Box Office Data, DVD and Blu-ray Sales, Movie News, Cast and Crew Information |website=The-numbers.com |accessdate=May 4, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109224936/http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/1971/0WWCF.php# |archive-date=November 9, 2013 |dead-url=no |df=mdy-all }}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] gave the film a perfect four out of four stars, calling it "probably the best film of its sort since ''[[The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz]]''. It is everything that family movies usually claim to be, but aren't: Delightful, funny, scary, exciting, and, most of all, a genuine work of imagination. 'Willy Wonka' is such a surely and wonderfully spun fantasy that it works on all kinds of minds, and it is fascinating because, like all classic fantasy, it is fascinated with itself."<ref>{{cite news| last=Ebert| first=Roger| title=Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory| url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-1971| newspaper=[[Chicago Sun-Times]]| date=January 1, 1971| accessdate=September 27, 2017| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160909182904/http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-1971#| archive-date=September 9, 2016| dead-url=no| df=mdy-all}}</ref> [[Charles Champlin]] of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' praised the film as "lively and enjoyable" and called Wilder's performance "a real star turn," but thought the songs were "instantly forgettable" and that the factory looked "a lot more literal and industrial and less empathic than it might have."<ref>[[Charles Champlin|Champlin, Charles]] (July 28, 1971).

Sure enough there is a chocolate river, but it looks too much like the [[Chicago River]] to be appealing. The quality of the color photography is flat. The other items in Wonka's factory — bubblegum trees and lollypop flowers — also look cheap. Nothing in the factory is appealing."<ref>[[Gene Siskel|Siskel, Gene]] (July 18, 1971).

By the mid-1980s, ''Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory'' had experienced a spike in popularity thanks in large part to repeated television broadcasts and home video sales. Following a 25th anniversary theatrical re-release in 1996, it was released on [[DVD]] the next year, allowing it to reach a new generation of viewers. The film was released as a remastered special edition on DVD and VHS in 2001 to commemorate the film's 30th anniversary. In 2003, ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' ranked it 25th in the "Top 50 Cult Movies" of all time.
''Willy Wonka'' was ranked No. 74 on [[Bravo (US TV channel)|Bravo]]'s ''100 Scariest Movie Moments'' for the "scary tunnel" scene.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.listafterlist.com/tabid/57/listid/9449/movies/bravos+the+100+scariest+movie+moments.aspx| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070801144600/http://www.listafterlist.com/tabid/57/listid/9449/Movies/Bravos%2BThe%2B100%2BScariest%2BMovie%2BMoments.aspx| archivedate=August 1, 2007| title=Bravo's 'The 100 Scariest Movie Moments'| deadurl=yes}}</ref>
On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film has a 91% approval rating and an average rating of 7.8/10 based on 46 reviews. The site's critical consensus states: "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is strange yet comforting, full of narrative detours that don't always work but express the film's uniqueness."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/willy_wonka_and_the_chocolate_factory/|title=Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory|last=|first=|date=|website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|accessdate=December 6, 2018}}</ref>
===Dahl's reaction===
Dahl disowned the film, the script of which was partially rewritten by [[David Seltzer]] after Dahl failed to meet deadlines. Dahl said he was "disappointed" because "he thought it placed too much emphasis on Willy Wonka and not enough on Charlie", as well as the casting of Gene Wilder instead of [[Spike Milligan]].<ref name="Everlasting"/> Dahl was also "infuriated" by the deviations in the plot Seltzer devised in his draft of the screenplay, including the conversion of Slugworth, a minor character in the book, into a spy (so that the film could have a villain) and the "fizzy lifting drinks" scene along with music other than the original [[Oompa Loompa]] compositions (including "[[Pure Imagination]]" and "[[The Candy Man]]"), and the ending dialogue for the movie.<ref>{{cite video| year=2001| title=Pure Imagination: The Story of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"| website=Two Dog Productions Inc.}}</ref> In 1996, Dahl's second wife, Felicity, commented on her husband's objections towards the film saying "they always want to change a book's storyline. What makes Hollywood think children want the endings changed for a film, when they accept it in a book?"<ref name="Everlasting"/>
==Animated adaptation==
{{Main article|Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory}}
In 2017, an animated adaptation of the film with [[Tom and Jerry]] was released. ''[[Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory]]'' stars JP Karliak as Willy Wonka and is dedicated to Gene Wilder, who died less than a year before the release.

A special edition DVD was released, celebrating the film's 30th anniversary, on August 28, 2001, but in [[pan and scan|fullscreen]] only. Due to the lack of a letterboxed release, fan petitioning eventually led [[Warner Home Video]] to issue a widescreen version on November 13, 2001. It was also released on [[VHS]], with only one of the special features (a making-of feature). Several original cast members reunited to film documentary footage for this special edition DVD release. The two editions featured restored sound, and better picture quality. In addition to the documentary, the DVD included a trailer, a gallery, and audio commentary by the cast.
