Summary: Pure brilliance
Review: I've enjoyed the movie since first watching it over 25 years ago. It will forever be a classic for young and old:) The features of the DVD are superb, especially the behind-the-scenes documentary which features the actors who played the 5 children, as well as Gene Wilder and one of the Oompa-Loompas! The commentary of the 5 actors was entertaining although the Augustus Gloop actor didn't say much. Of course, his character was the first to be "voted off" the chocolate factory but at the same time, the actor was often talked over by the other stars. Maybe the other actors have Jewish parentage and decided it's payback time over their German actor.

Summary: Fascinating information about a classic treasure
Review: My 10-yr-old daughter and I watched this DVD recently, and she loved it. She'd seen it before, and had really wanted to see it again. Then we looked at the additional content - and that was what I wanted to especially write about. The additional content was very interesting, and really added to my appreciation. The fact that the producer's 10-yr-old daughter was the provocation for the movie getting made was delightful to my daughter. And who knew that the movie came into existence because of the long-forgotten candy bar, produced by Quaker Oats? I'd highly recommend this bit of our shared cultural history.

Summary: Kids love Wonka
Review: I recorded this at first off TV. I had to get it on DVD because it has become one of my 3yr old sons all time favorite movies. He requests it by name and sings along with all the songs. What more can I say. It's a timeless classic. If you have a young child this is a collection must have. The bad thing with tape is it degrades over use. I've been subject to watch this movie over 50 times now, no joke. DVD is the way to go for me on this one.

Summary: A Greek Tragedy for children
Review: Is there anything more indulgent and sensual than eating chocolate ? Anything that can be featured in a movie for children, that is ? Willy Wonka is the owner of a mysterious chocolate factory, and he is ready to reveals its secrets - but what child could resist their lure before getting handed a gruesome fate ? The structure of WWatCF is reminiscent of Lord of the Rings - as we see child after child falling into temptation. Its premise is at least less blatant than Harry Potter's. The moral of the movie is "be moderate and honest". Gene Wilder brings his tremendous energy and ambiguity to perfection in this movie. He is suitably frantic and dark as the eccentric Willy Wonka. The Oompa-Loompas are the stone-faced Muses, as if from a Greek tragedy, breaking in omnious songs, whirling around and giving out morals for the patient children. While the sense of wonder in this movie is not as high as it could be, due to the limits of special effects of the time, this is as good as children's movies get.

Summary: great!!
Review: i don't understand how anyone would not like this movie. it is a great portrail of Roal Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Dahl was a great children's book writer and i'm glad they made his book into a movie.

Summary: Awesome Movie!
Review: Willy Wonka is a great movie, I have the wide-screen DVD and though there may not be a big difference between the wide-screen and full-screen when there is usually a totally amazing difference I am still glad I got the wide-screen DVD because little or big difference I think the wide-screen DVD is better then my old full-screen video tape. Willy Wonka is an awesome movie, it's a little campy but campy in a fun enjoyable way that isn't annoying and has a very trippy ferry boat scene that starts out fun but then gets kind of gross but unlike other reviewers I wouldn't hate the movie and give it 1 or 2 stars just becasue of a brief scary scene. All of the actors are good but especially Gene Wilder who is marvelous! I recommend this movie it's just so good and amazing!

Summary: Classic Wilder!!!
Review: Gene Wilder shines through in this marvelous film for all the family. I've seen this film so many times, and am proud to say that I saw it when it was first released - at the Coolidge Corner movie theater in Brookline, Massachusetts - and there were a handful of kids, plus myself. Talk about magic. This movie has it all. From the moment we encounter the "contest" for the "golden tickets," and we're introduced to "Charlie," and his Uncle (played remarkably well by Jack Albertson), we realize who the winner will be, and of course, there are all the other kids and their parents, plus the villain (wonderfully planted to test the kids' integrity). There's singing and dancing, and to hear Gene Wilder's voice is terrific, not to mention seeing his comic genius, even in this children's movie. Then there are the "Ooompa Loompas" and the tale which is told about them...incredibly sweet. Of course the ending is a little bit of a twist, but it fits in with the "happily ever after" agenda which Willy Wonka is hoping for, and he is not disappointed. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factor" was the book, and this film matches it very well. For an afternoon, evening, or anytime spent with the family, this is a classic. Get it and see!!!
