I love how Alex’s songs are actually good joke songs like he’s actually quite good at it

You have to remember, the Wonka in the original spent 20 years in isolation after some of his employees betrayed him by selling his recipes to his competitors.

[Charlotte-piru]

Fun fact: I had terrible food poisoning when I watched this in theatres, and every scene with any kind of eating made me feel incredibly ill. Then I went to sleep, and all I could think of was the chorus that went like “well there’s chocolate and there’s chocolate” on loop forever.

[eclipse_eternal]

I was in a really bad mental space when I went to see this in theatres, but it honestly helped a lot because it was so light-hearted, feelgood and just so out there. For that this movie holds a special place in my heart.

Hugh Grant has been open about how he hated playing the Oompa Loompa, finding the motion capture aspect to be tedious, but signed on because he has several children, and needed the money.

[jamescallanan]

Instead of having Wonka expose the other chocolate makers as criminals, he could have tormented and sabotaged them until they surrendered. Would have fit the vibe of Wilder better

[viddork]

I totally agree with the final point: as a fantasy musical, it's quite charming and fun. You just have to divorce it from any iteration of Willy Wonka and take it as an entirely separate and independent story. Do that, and it's quite enjoyable.

[Wonderfowl]

I love the filter you have that takes away the background track to avoid copywrite... in this particular instance it makes Wonka look like a complete insane person (i mean, beyond the norm), as he's just belting lyrics to no backup track.... like an obnoxious subway train rider.

[kateylouu]

I kinda think his personality fits. Like he was so optimistic about life, and then he realizes how selfish and gluttonous kids are, and gets screwed over by employees then spends several years locked in his factory with just himself and the Oompa Loompas. He has many, many years to become jaded and to realize how much the world sucks.

[dW-tdul]

To your point of wonka feeling different. Its explained in the books and movies that wonka has had his secrets stolen and was betrayed multiple times by his friends and coworkers. Thats why he fires everyone and closed the factory.

[bonnies]

I looked away from the screen and GENUINELY thought Alex was Timothee singing a REAL song ( 2:15 )

[crimsonknight]

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. Meaning there is much less risk, also they can spend less on filming it to get more profits

[higherstandard]

Slugworth started sending in people to work for Wonka and steal his recipes. So Wonka fired all the employees and started using just umpaloopas instead. That is what caused his distrust

[LookICanExplain]

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

[bitrick]

I think it's implied he made the chocolate machine, like it's shown he's an inventor of complex machinery with the washing machine

[MariOmor]

The portrayal of Slugworth, Prodnose and Ficklegruber in this movie made me think of the three evil farmers from Fantastic Mr. Fox, another Dahl book which got a flawless movie adaptation and one which I really loved

[Fire_Summoner]

Can we really call this a Wonka origin story when he was already Wonka at the beginning? He already had special and magical chocolate. It should've been him actually becoming Wonka.

[JECKIDDING]

Willy Wonka in the original movie was trying to find a kid that isn't selfish or would do something different then what he would do so they can own the company since he is getting old. And each time something bad happened to the kids you noticed that he warns them before they do it. they just don' t listen.

[Wild-Card]

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.
