Product Details

Having proven itself as a favorite film of children around the world, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is every bit as entertaining now as it was when originally released in 1971. There's a timeless appeal to Roald Dahl's classic children's novel, which was playfully preserved in this charming musical, from the colorful carnival-like splendor of its production design to the infectious melody of the "Oompah-Loompah" songs that punctuate the story. Who can forget those diminutive Oompah-Loompah workers who recite rhyming parental warnings ("Oompah-Loompah, doopity do...") whenever some mischievous child has disobeyed Willy Wonka's orders to remain orderly? Oh, but we're getting ahead of ourselves ... it's really the story of the impoverished Charlie Bucket, who, along with four other kids and their parental guests, wins a coveted golden ticket to enter the fantastic realm of Wonka's mysterious confectionery. After the other kids have proven themselves to be irresponsible brats, it's Charlie who impresses Wonka and wins a reward beyond his wildest dreams. But before that, the tour of Wonka's factory provides a dazzling parade of delights, and with Gene Wilder giving a brilliant performance as the eccentric candyman, Wonka gains an edge of menace and madness that nicely counterbalances the movie's sentimental sweetness. It's that willingness to risk a darker tone--to show that even a wonderland like Wonka's can be a weird and dangerous place if you're a bad kid--that makes this an enduring family classic. --Jeff Shannon

(5 stars) - A Sweet Treat
A classic children's movie - it is smart, funny, and delicious! (Way better than the remake.)

(5 stars) - Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
I have watched this movie with my now 29 year old son, now I'am watching it with his young son and my daughter's two little girl's. It's a fun movie to watch with the young one's.

(5 stars) - Terrific movie for young kids
Okay, I may be biased because I loved this film as a kid but the original is far better than remake with Johnny Depp and is better for young kids. After reading the book to my 6 year old we watched this and he thoroughly enjoyed it. And my three year old even enjoyed the film. They both like singing the songs too. Highly recommend.

(4 stars) - Review of Willy Wonka VHS
I received the product quickly. The case was a bit beat up, but the VHS works great.

(5 stars) - Willy Wonka & the choclate Factory Blu-ray
WOW Well worth getting the blu-ray on this classic movie. Everything looked so delicious. I can't ever tired of watching this movie. Truly glad that they put it out on blu-ray.
