![]() Stuart passed away in August at the age of 83, and what a legacy he has left, with what I still today consider the best children’s film of all time (even though, really, it’s a movie as much for adults as it is for kids), By the end of perusing this incredibly detailed and fascinating account of the 1971 film, I felt like I had been transported not just to the movie’s set, but like I had traveled to the magical chocolate factory rooms themselves. ![]() No, originally, I passed by the loaded, awesome books on film section at my local library and found a copy of Pure Imagination: The Making of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, by the film’s director Mel Stuart, and Josh Young. I didn’t initially intend to watch the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory again, and all the DVD’s bonus features. (Via Amazon)īrian’s Review: I didn’t initially intend to review this. Ingenious and entertaining, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a true modern classic. Only Charlie Bucket, the story’s earnest hero, stands to win the exotic riches of Wonka’s empire-if he avoids the pitfalls of his fellow contestants and stays true to his heart. When Willy Wonka’s hallowed chocolate factory holds a worldwide contest awarding tours to the lucky, five children emerge as winners, including a glutton, a gum- chewing nitwit, a spoiled brat, and a TV addict. ![]() SUMMARY: Twice turned into a feature film, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a delectable classic about a child’s dreams and the eccentric chocolate-maker who makes them come true. ![]()
