Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Roald Dahl is known for writing a huge list of unbelievable small fry ’s books , fromThe twit , toGeorge ’s Marvellous Medicine , toThe BFG(as well as write the screenplay to aJames Bondfilm andChitty Chitty Bang Bang ) . Arguably his most iconic study isCharlie And The Chocolate Factory .
It tells the storey of Charlie , a success of a Golden Ticket that countenance him to tour the fabled , recently re - open factory of the slightly crazy artificer , Willy Wonka . We ’ve listed five differences between the volume and each of the vainglorious - screen adaptations .
1971: The Fizzy Lifting Drink
In Dahl ’s Word of God , we get word a story about Fizzy Lifting Drink , an excogitation of Wonka that made the juicer float into the sky . One particular Oompa Loompa consumed some , was unable to bubble and blow by , never to be learn again .
In the 1971 film , thing take a different turn , with Grandpa Joe and Charlie drinking some just after Wonka ’s word of advice . They end up floating towards a fan and have to burp themselves out of harm ’s way , much to the disappointment of Wonka .
2005: Both Parents
This particular change makes a lot of sense . In Wonka ’s original book , each Golden Ticket winner is allow to bring both of their parent . This imply we have five ace , plus a mum , plus a pa , plus Wonka ( minus the fact that Charlie only brings Grandpa Joe ) .
That ’s a whole lot of eccentric to keep up with . The movie simplify this a mint , give us just one maternal figure per achiever . Much well-situated .
1971: The Oompa Loompa’s Design
Since 1973 , the prescribed verbal description of the Oompa Loompa ’s inCharlie And The Chocolate Factoryis that they have golden - brown fuzz , fortunate - lily-white tegument and are incredibly glad masses from Loompaland .
This is interchangeable to the films , though they are orange , with green fuzz for some unknown intellect . somewhat more polemically , the leger originally portray the Oompa Loompa ’s in a means that was certainly too slavery - like for publishing .
2005: Grandpa Joe’s Involvement
When we get together Grandpa Joe , he is layer - bound and incredibly sure-enough . He get laid pretty much nothing about Wonka ’s factory but require Charlie to get ahead the Golden Ticket either way . For some reason , the 2005 film has an overpowering desire to make this connexion much stronger .
seemingly , Joe used to work for Wonka many years sooner , before the factory was closed . As such , he was especially excited to be able to visit his sure-enough spot of workplace and knew a lot about its inner function .
1971: Charlie’s Father
In the book , Charlie’sfatheris very much alive and well . He is seen living alongside all of the grandparents , as well as his married woman and Charlie . For an unnamed , and really rather dark , cheerless and ostensibly unnecessary reason , the version of Charlie ’s dad in the 1971 flick died before the story begins .
It ’s unclear why , but perchance it is a way of explaining why Charlie institute Grandpa Joe instead of his Father of the Church .
2005: The Existence Of Wonka’s Father
DespiteChristopher Lee’srole being one of the best moments in the 2005 remaking , the character did n’t exist at all in the book . revolt against his demented dentist of a dad is shown to be one of the main reasons Wonka opened his factory in the first berth , and in all probability a big contributor to his very … unique personality .
It ’s actually a really interesting piece of backstory that end up being a good gain to the film .
1971: The Golden Egg
In the book , Veruca meets her demise after her desire for a squirrel that is capable to separate Nut is n’t met . She ends up being discombobulate down the garbage shoot along with the respite of the spoiled freak .
In the 1971 flick , this sequence is replaced by halcyon orchis - laying goofball . Instead of the squirrels , she wants one of these , and her downfall come from this alternative desire . This change was plausibly made due to the potential offspring of either have to do work with oranimatesquirrels .
2005: Veruca’s Mother
Roald Dahl became hump for his love of creating unpleasant characters who were excessively fat . Augustus Gloop is one special example of this .
However , the leger doubled up on its larger characters , making Veruca ’s mother a particularly ugly geographics teacher named Angina . The 2005 moving-picture show shows her to be very tight fitting and attractive , with the entailment being that she is a trophy wife to her rich husband .
1971: Wonka’s Testing
The book version of Willy Wonka seems to be obliterate an entirely darker persona than the one depicted in either film . Of of course , there is an ingredient of mystery around him connecting each version , but it is only in the record book where we see some more malice at play .
The Oompa Loompas are used as examination gimmick for sure products , which often run to their decease at the hands of some crazy invention . This oddly guilt - free execution is , thankfully , removed from the films .
2005: The Ending
The biggest difference between the 2005 movie and the book that inspired it is its ending . The al-Qur’an shows Wonka flying off in his elevator made of chalk , beak up the Bucket family and zooming into space . This created the band - up for the not as well - loved subsequence , Charlie And The Great Glass Elevator .
The film end with Wonka suggest Charlie abandons his kin , which Charlie rejects . However , Wonka stop up bring their house into his mill . It seems weird that is was the book that set itself up for a sequel rather than the film , but there you have it .
