Trivia

The singing voice of the Oompa-Loompas belongs to that of Danny Elfman who overdubbed himself dozens of times.

In the very last scene where Willy talks to a shrink, the Doctor's name-tag on the desk is " Dr P Sarrosy " - an homage to famed cinematographer Paul Sarossy.

To his surprise, Deep Roy played every Oompa-Loompa himself, repeating the same movements several hundred times. While these were then put together digitally, each Oompa-Loompa represents a separate performance by Roy. In recognition of this, Roy's salary was raised to $1,000,000.

Goofs

When Willy Wonka dips the pink ladle into the chocolate river, the chocolate is spilling over the edge of the ladle. But when he hands it to Charlie, the outside of the ladle is completely free of chocolate residue.

When Mike Teavee pushes the "Television Room" button in the elevator, the elevator continues downward and then takes a sharp turn to the right. However, the actors lean toward the right (toward the direction the elevator moves), rather than moving to the left as one would as a reaction to the movement.

Q

How did Charlie get invited to the Chocolate Factory?

A

Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), along with four other children, each find one of five golden tickets randomly placed inside Wonka candy bars. The other four tickets are found by Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz), a gluttonous German boy; Veruca Salt (Julia Winter), a spoiled English girl; Violet Beauregarde (AnnaSophia Robb), a gum-chewing American girl; and Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry), an American boy who, like his name, is obsessed with television.

Q

How does the movie end?

A

Charlie is the last child remaining, so Willy Wonka takes him and Grandpa Joe (David Kelly) home in the Up-and-Out and informs them that Charlie has won the secret prize and is to become heir to the Chocolate Factory. The only stipulation is that Charlie must come live with him at the Factory and leave his family behind because p...p...parents are too restrictive and stifle creativity. Charlie disagrees, saying that they do so to protective their children, and he refuses to leave his family...not for all the chocolate in the world. Willy returns to the Factory, but finds himself becoming depressed and the factory failing. He asks Charlie for advice, and Charlie suggests that he seek out his own father, Doctor Wilbur Wonka (Christopher Lee), the dentist who put young Willy in braces and refused to let him eat candy. With Charlie's help, Willy and Wilbur are reunited. Charlie and his family move their hut into the Chocolate Factory, Charlie accepts his role as heir, and Willy finally finds a family to belong to.
