This movie is a pure trip down memory lane, though I didn’t always enjoy it. The first time I watched I remember being kind of scared at its odd characters and wacky characters, but now this is my favored adaptation of Ronald Dahl’s novel, which was read to me a long time ago in school.

I could watch this movie thousand times more. Johnny Depp's eccentric portrayal of Wonka adds a quirky charm to the film, while the vibrant set designs and imaginative special effects captivate the imagination. It´s a timeless cinematic treat that promises to leave audiences smiling from ear to ear.

This movie, adapted from a fairy tale, largely reproduces the magical world of chocolate depicted in the original. It tells us that children who are not polite will get into trouble, so they should learn to be polite. In addition, another important element of the story is family affection; the little boy would rather squeeze in a small, rickety house with his family than go to the chocolate factory alone. In the end, Mr. Wonka allows the whole family to move into the factory to live together, and they treat him as a family. This big and loving family makes up for the lack of familial affection in his childhood. Kids love this movie, and it's important to let them understand the choices that poor Charlie makes.

I really love Willy Wonka's hair and I love Johnny Depp more and more. The beginning reminds me of Sweeney Todd, and the creepy puppets are uniquely Burtonesque too. This era has underestimated Depp's acting and beauty!!! Hahaha! The TV scene there with the 2001 Space Odyssey and Psycho made me LOL-ed, and surprisingly I felt a little touched watching it. And here's my afterthought to thank the director for his outstanding contribution to my dreams over the years.

To be fair, I really didn't recognize Johnny Depp. I always thought Willy Wonka was very strange and abnormal, but vulnerable and unloved at heart. There's not a lot of foreshadowing, but the point of the movie is to make parents understand that they can't be too arrogant, to make children understand that they should be humble and friendly, to hope that the world is full of love, and to teach that family is the most important thing. As far as being educational is concerned, it's enough.

Willy Wonka meets his father

This incredible remake has Tim Burton's peculiar hallmark distinguished, in addition to his dark aesthetic, by the exploration of relationships between grandparents, parents and children.

Chocolate and family

Willy Wonka’s chocolate Factory is a place where dreams come true, especially if that dream is eating as much candy as you like. A beautiful story about humbleness and family coziness.

Sin duda fue expectacular la participacion de los niños, el exelente manejo de las camaras... El enfoque, pero sobre todo el mjs que cada pelicula deja es increible, apesar de la humildad que un persona pueda tener las esperanzas jamas deben perderse... Y cuando uno es niño experimentar por siertas cosas que lo lleva a creer que en lo mas minimo se puede seguir soñando hasta conseguirlo🙌

Una película de la que tal vez muchos sólo tengan un recuerdo bonito, yo la verdad aún me la veo y pienso mostrársela a mis hijos. La disfruto cada vez más, recuerdo que de pequeña soñaba con encontrar el boleto dorado en las chocolatinas Jet 😂Willy Wonka me parecía muy extraño con su poco interés por lo que le pasaba a los niños yo creía que era malvado aunque los niños fueran un fastidio, pero el final quedaba satisfecha porque me identificaba con el personaje del niño pobre interpretado por Freddie Highmore un excelente actor que también me ha marcado por sus actuaciones cómo "the good doctor". Sencillamente me encanta

O filme, adaptado de um conto de fadas, reproduz em grande parte o mundo mágico do chocolate retratado no original. Ele nos mostra que crianças que não são educadas terão problemas, então devem aprender a ser educadas. Além disso, outro elemento importante da história é a afeto familiar; o garotinho prefere se espremer em uma casinha frágil do que ir para a fábrica de chocolate sozinho. No final, o Sr. Wonka permite que a família toda se mude para a fábrica para morar junta, e eles o tratam como família. Essa grande família amorosa compensa a falta de carinho familiar em sua infância. As crianças amam esse filme e é importante deixá-los entender as escolhas que o pobre Charlie faz.
