I may not be the first to mention this, but how did Jessica cover every esoteric Easter egg in this movie, then skim right past the fact that Willy's Mom's note in the chocolate bar is written on a frickin Golden Ticket?!

[BAYoungblood]

I believe the 5 friends that helped him is a reason why he only passed out 5 Golden Tickets in the original

After watching Wonka, I felt the same warm magical feeling inside as I did when I watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory all those years ago. I do like the updated version that Wonka brings to the screen and I believe in my heart the late great Gene Wilder would approve of his character evolution and perhaps maybe he would feel a little envious of this version’s success …

I noticed immediately when I watched the 2023 film that Wonka drops a silver sovereign coin down the grate and in the original 71 film, Charlie finds a coin in the grate which allows him to buy the Wonka bar which leads to his dream of going to the factory. That hit me so hard. Because it's just perfect. Here Wonka is singing about his hatful of dreams and later a boy is going to find that coin and continue his dream.

3:44 one of the key memories that I had from my childhood is Wonka related….

In 3rd grade we had a field trip planned for a stage production of Charlie and Chocolate Factory and ahead of the trip the theater company sent all the classes chocolate bars with a select few having golden tickets.

I was in an accelerated English class and was not present when the bars were initially passed out but my teacher saved me one. And as you can predict it had the golden ticket in it. It was so much like the movie - last bar with the last ticket, raising it up, my classmates crowding around me, my teacher urging me to run to another classroom to inform the field trip organizer that I was a golden ticket holder.

In the end the golden ticket got me all kinds of perks and extra backstage experiences on the field trip.

TO THIS DAY my mom has that golden ticket framed and hanging on my old bedroom wall next to all my other trophies and diplomas.

9:33 Freddie Highmore's Charlie does the same thing in the 2005 movie, splitting a Wonka chocolate bar into pieces and sharing them with his family.

[kedrickmetzger]

I honestly want them to do one more. We got to see how Wonka got started but I really want to see what truly drove him to shutting down the factory. I know grandpa Joe explained it in the original but I think it would be fun to see him go though this. To see him bring the Oompa Lumpas to the factory and him starting to look for a successor. Bringing it back to the original. I know I’m dreaming but I would love to see more

[bellatrixmschannel]

I was worried about this movie and didn’t see it in theaters. Just saw it on streaming and it was so precious!

[herdthinnerb]

I really enjoyed this prequel. It kept me guessing how he’d get out of his predicaments, and wrapped up his allies’ stories nicely.

[latexgeneration]

Let’s be honest - This broke the mold for this kind of project. I did not expect it to be as good as it is.

[RatKeeper]

I am pretty sure that the reason that Willie Wonka has a boat in his factory is becuse in the movie Wonka it is revealed that he grew up on a boat, that is also problem the reason he has the little boat in the candy/chocolate store in Wonka.

[amymitman]

splitting his mom's chocolate bar at the end is also a nod to the 2005 version when charlie splits his birthday bar with his family

[StoryTimewithMissAnna]

I still have "Scrub Scrub" in my head.😊 So fun!

[bearaugz]

Saw this last night and I really enjoyed it, really felt like this was a well done prequel to the original.

[NightFreeze]

I loved this movie way more that I was expecting to, but here's one dark take I have on it: Between Scrubbitt's shady contracts and Slugworth's monopoly and manipulation, along with how he bizarrely punished Wonka and Noodle for opposing him by trying to drown them in the chocolate vault, the movie subtly explains where Wonka learned all his business practices later in life...

[OneHonestCritic]

That ending when he opened his mom’s chocolate… I just lost it. Especially since my mom passed last year. 😭😭

[archangelof]

I love how positive this channel is. I'm so sick of criticism, honestly even the constructive kind.

[emmethepanda]

Wonka sharing chocolate reminds me of when Charlie shared his birthday chocolate with his family

[alextafolla]

After watching Wonka, I could not stop tearing up how much memories it brought back from the original movie 😢

[steveiesals]

I think when slugworth and the others criticized wonkas hover chocolate in the beginning because it was overly complex foreshadowed why they enjoyed his mother's bar of chocolate so much, the simple purity of it.
