The thing in this movie that made me laugh the hardest, and I never hear anybody talk about, is their introduction to Willy Wonka... the stage display with the dolls that catch fire and melt in such a horrific way. Folks... Tim Burton killed Disney's It's A Small World!!! He literally killed it with fire!

I love both versions, but for different reasons. The original felt like you had entered into a magical world of sweets and surprises, with Wonka being your tour guide throughout. It was fun and whimsical, though I did find the treatment of the kids pretty cruel. Unlike in the 2005 version they weren't really that terrible, just bratty. So when the possibility of them dying is brought up it feels pretty unwarranted. As for the 2005 version, I liked that they gave Wonka a backstory as to why he is the way he is, and Depp was amazing in the role; really bring the character's more eccentric personality to life. All the actors were great, actually, especially the boy who played Charlie. The overall tone was rather unsettling, especially after entering the factory. It felt like there was something darker happening without feeling too overbearing. Even the musical numbers contributed to this, which I also found really catchy. Possibly the best improvement they made though was making the kids completely unlikeable. That made their punishments all the more satisfying and far less unsettling like in the original. To boil it down, the original felt more like a traditional fantasy story, while Charlie and the Chocolate Factory felt like a somewhat more twisted version of that same fantasy.

Deep Roy was epic in this movie. He put in more effort into his role(s) than anyone else in this movie.

When Roald Dahl died, the first chapter of a third Charlie & Wonka book was found in his office.

Now I can't unsee Freddy Mercury as Willy. Thanks for that.

"Let's see what the damage is. A lollypop. It should be called 'Cavities on a Stick."

I enjoy Willy Wonka as a movie unto itself. I enjoy Charlie & the Chocolate Factory because it follows the book so closely. Of the two, it is the more faithful book adaptation.

I honestly don’t understand what people have against the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was just as good as the original, especially the real sweets. 😋

What I like most about this channel is that when I watch Minty's videos about movies I really didn't like, I always somehow come away with an appreciation for them. That's a refreshing perspective, especially these days when slight dislike of a thing = blind hatred for said thing and also blind hatred for everyone who likes the thing you didn't like and their families.

You provide such tremendous intricacy and details regarding all of our favorite films; a care and diligence to the art form that I’ve never seen anywhere else. Likewise, you present and narrate your videos in such a uniquely warm and forthright style. It’s obvious how very much time and work you put into what you do. I sincerely appreciate you and your fine, fun, and informative ‘tell all’ videos, Mr. Bishop. Thank you kindly and do keep up the great work!

I'm guessing that using the Danny Elfman score was prohibitively expensive to use, but the combination of his score with Tim Burton's visual design in this film was maybe my favourite part of all. It's eye and ear candy in the best way. :)

This Willie Wonka is a lot more like the book. Yes, Willie Wonka is that weird in the book.

"Mr. Fawlty, if the good lord wanted us to worry, he'd give us something to worry about" "He has; My wife"

So I was aware that the original book was called charlie and the chocolate factory, but when they announced the movie I thought this was gonna be the Charlie from the old movie grown up and was looking for a protege just like willy Wonka before him.

I find it funny that the 1971 version has a much brighter color palette to it than the 2005 version, but as a film, the 1971 version seems considerably darker still.

In the sequel to the book "The Great Glass Elevator", they go to space and see vermiscious knids, experiment with an anti-aging formula, and visit the place where souls exist before they are born. It is a seriously trippy ride.

I absolutely LOVE it! I also love the original adaptation. This is a quintessential Tim Burton film, though. If you rolled every film Tim Burton made into one, you'd have Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think the problem is, like you said, people grew up with the Gene Wilder version, so they already went into this experience with prejudice. Seeing the film as its own, stand-alone adaptation of the book frees you to absorb it independently. This is a great film. I absolutely LOVE it!

Can you do a things you didn't know about Corpse Bride? 👉👈

The Rock: "Can you smellllll what the Willy is cooking" 👀

I think Tim Curry would have made an outstanding Willy wonka.

I can't believe Robin Williams was never considered for the Wonka role!? Another great video keep it up.

I’m just wondering if the time highmore spent in the chocolate factory turned him into Norman Bates....

I like Johnny Depp and I like Gene Wilder. I've seen both in many different different movies. In this case, I go with Wilder every time. I can't help wondering what was lurking under there. I agree that giving Depp a backstory took away the air of mystery that Wilder had.

I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Shaun Murphy! Freddie Highmore is an excellent actor

This movie came out in 2005, the same year as underrated classic “Sky High”

I have a strange feeling that the reason why “Charlie” is in the title, is because it lures fans of the book to the movie. I’m a huge fan of the book and noticed a whole lot of similarities to the movie and book.

It's funny because parts of this movie is actually more closer to original book

That Django unchained shirt is legit too.

I always loved the 2005 one...yes I might be a little bias because I love Depp, Burton, and Elfman. But there have been a couple Johnny films I cannot watch and will never pretend to love. I do also love the 1971 version too. It's crazy that you are not allowed to love both. I do enjoy the 2005 being closer to the book. As well as love more songs in 2005 than in 1971. So many people say that the songs in 2005 were terrible and not memorable...but when you think about it the Oompa Loompa songs from 1971 were "Oompa Loompa doopa dee dooo" of course they are easy to remember. I still listen to the 2005 soundtrack. I love that the songs pulled lyrics from the book and were each very different. I love that Tim and Johnny would carry the book the set so they could reference it. I can see what you mean about how Johnny played Wonka extremely weird and unsociable...yes, they showed him being weird prior to locking up the factory, but he got even weirder as time went on...he locked himself up with Oompa Loompas for many years...I can understand...we had people going fucking nuts after being in covid lockdown starting on day 1 and now over a year...I see the weird shit everyone has been posting. So him being this weird is not a stretch...at least anymore.

One thing I DO know. This Willie Wonka creeped me out more as an adult than Gene Wilder did as a child. Without saying a word.

I absolutely love Tim Burton!! And this movie is no exception!

A shout out to Australia's own Noah Taylor for playing Charlie's father!

I desperately want a Wizard of Oz movie that has the creepy vibe of the book. "Return to Oz" was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and the scary parts are a huge reason for it.

My wife and I enjoy both. However, she's particular to the original while I like the retelling. I think that's the way it goes for most fans. You can enjoy both, but may have a special affinity for one over another

Fun Fact:Gene Wilder didn't watch Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, because he didn't want to be disappointed in Johnny Depp's performance or movie

The thought of Christopher Walken as Willy Wonka is all sorts of amazing and needs to happen.

Love the original movie with Gene Wilder! Love the new version with Johnny Depp as well.

Danny Elfman doesn't hold a candle to John Williams...

I still haven't seen this version, till this day. Minty, i'm surprised you didn't mention that Freddie Highmore went from playing Charlie to playing a new version of Norman Bates, as well, in Bates Motel, the tv series. Pleasantville definitely deserves a 10 Things You Didn't Know treatment.

I loved Johnny depp's version. His humor and he was stand offish with the kids was funny. The backstory explained his weirdness very well.

Now that you said Jim carrey I can now see him playing that role 😂😂 and that's my favorite actor

Can you please do a 10 things on "Crossroads", the one with Ralph Macchio, not Britney Spears.

Please do "Nothing but trouble" with chevy chase and demi moore!

Maybe I am the odd one out but I much prefer Charlie and the ChocolateFactory to the old one. It just has WAY more personality.

A fitting sequel to Tuesday

Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire, England has a Roald Dahl Museum. Roald lived at the village until his death in 1990 and some of his family continue to do so. The museum for all things Roald Dahl has a smaller version of the Willie Wonka gates as well as an entrance. Originally the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory director Tim Burton had offered the museum the actual Willie Wonka Chocolate factory gates but these were to big for the location of the museum set in the Great Missenden high street.

I loved this movie. I thought that Depp, the kid that played Charlie, and the Oompa Loompa guy were great in it, and I loved Burton’s take on it. A hilarious movie that I find very rewatchable.

Freddy Mercury! Hahahahaha that's all I see now hahahaha quality mate.

I love the "Candyland" shirt you have on!!!! I want it.

I love how your shirt is with in the CANDIE theme.

Best thing about the 2005 adaptation: Deep Roy oompah loompas

Seeing the movie in theaters as a child was worth it. 16 years later, I still love it

The first movie was kid-friendly. The second was for grown ups, and according to Felicity Dahl, the second was much closer to Rould’s original vision of the story. I love both versions.

Dahl's family rejected Jim Carey. They must be friends of Tommy Lee Jones.

I love both films.But I adore Johnny Depp's sarcasm in this role

Considering them as standalone films rather than one and a remake, I like both. Especially the oompa loompa verses coming straight from the books was a highlight to the 2005 film. Depp did his own thing and made it memorable, but Wilder is and always will be the king of candy.

Do The Man in the Iron Mask next. 10 Things you didn't know about The Man in the Iron Mask.

Deep Roy was in The Neverending Story 😮🤯🤩🙌🏾

Its too bad Wilder wasn't more gracious about this version. The old musical was very nice but I loved Tim Burton's version just as much if not more. This movie had a lot going for it. Charlie had a dad. Also, there were squirrel's instead of eggs like in the book. The musical numbers of the Oompa Loopas were very entertaining. I didn't mind Wonka's added backstory either. But what I liked most was the beautiful ending about loving your family more than chocolate! Thanks for the review. You did a great job.

This video was as satisfying as a creamy Wonka bar. Your analysis clearly expressed many of my own feelings about the old vs. new versions. And we can spot a Tim Burton movie from space! Question: What do you think about a Tim Burton reimagining of The Wizard Of Oz? (waiting for your head to 💥✨💥🤯) Love your channel!

I actually just watched the Tom & Jerry recently. It came in a variety pack with other Tom & Jerry movies

Now I want a version with Nicolas Cage / Christopher Walken so badly.

I like Deep Roy a lot. I forgot he was in The Neverending story.Wow!!He was also on an episode of The X Files.

Like this film there aren't many remakes that are better than the original. Burton's best film is Ed Wood.

Despite Johnny Depp's performance, I thought this version was pretty good. The candy room looks so much better, the other kids were very reflective of their time, and Charlie was pretty good.

Can you smell what Wonka is cooking... In the factory.

Thanks Minti - l agree, a much underrated film with wonderful production design. Depp’s performance is suitably eccentric and in many ways this version is more faithful to the book. A pity there was no sequel as in ‘Charlie And the Great Glass Elevator.’

I don’t understand why people give so much hate to the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Film, the sets are beautifully stunning, the music is well written, and the actors performances are over all well done. And yes, there are a few things that could have been portrayed better in this movie, I kinda wish Willy Wonka had more charm and was less rude to the children like the Willy Wonka from the original movie. As a fan of Tim Burton, Danny Elfmen, and Johnny Depp, I’m a little bias, but honestly I love the way this movie came out. I love the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for its charm, but to me I feel the story is more believable in this new film.

This is the first time I 100% disagree with you.... Depp was so funny in this.

Me personally I love Tim Burton's Willy Wonka movie just as much Gene Wilder's Original

This Charlie choice was amazing.

"Well, I couldn't very well watch the show from up there, now, could I, little girl?"

This has made my Friday, please do Swingers, Oblivion, Chasing Amy, Zodiac or Se7en Minty!!!!

You mentioned the Wizard of Oz and they actually had a remake of it called The Wiz staring Michael Jackson and Diana Ross. It is awesome and I enjoy it a little more than the the original. You should check it out Minty!

Deep Ron, was in the JJ Star Treks as well as Scotty's engineering assistant!

I’m biased towards this movie because I’m a fan of mostly all of the BurtonxDepp collaborations and I also went to the movie theater w my 2 siblings to see this during it’s 2nd weekend and it was packed out. The audience laughed mostly at everything Depp’s Wonka said or did. My sister, brother and I are all Millennials so we were able to relate to the same jokes. This was a great time to still enjoy watching movies in the simple format before the overused CGI/Live Action films.

grew up on the original and found charlie and the chocolate factory to be just as good. i always believed willy wonka was weird, not meant for public weird. so to me johhny's portrayal was perfect. in my humble opinion they were both perfect for their time.

I really loved this version! And I was a big fan of the original. I can appreciate both for their differences. I thought Depp was outstanding

WW71 was #1 in my childhood. I didn't know it was a book or the name RD. Matilda is when I learned more. I still haven't read the book but I've heard plenty about RD. I loved CCF. JD nailed it, as usual. TB is a treasure. Minty is too.✌💜

I'm proud to say I grew up with this retelling, I've never actually seen 1971 version and I don't plan to

Minty, please do "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack. "I want my two dollarsssssss" 😂😛

I’m trying to imagine Patrick Stewart or Christopher Walken as Willy Wonk.

Oh I thought I recognized deep Roy but couldn't put my finger on why.. Then FLASH AHHHH. That's it.

this was the first version I saw as a kid, definitely loved it

I liked both versions, but liked this one better. I am biased towards Johnny Depp and Tim Burton.

Not only did Charlie have a chocolate factory, but he also bit my finger.

Daaaamn minty, could not agree with you more about Depps performance. I could never pinpoint what was annoying me about it but you nailed it.

Because of how much Johnny Depp's Wonka seemed to remind people of Michael Jackson, I have heard this film called "Finding Neverland Ranch". A huge problem for me was this this version of Wonka, did not want Charlie to bring his parents along, when he was invited to the Chocolate factory. This meant instead of an heir to what he had built, who could continue looking after the chocolate factory after he was gone, Wonka wanted Charlie was a "special friend." This becomes even creepier when it turns out that Willy Wonka had "daddy issues". In both the book, and the Wilder version, neither Willy Wonka had any problem with Charlie's family joining him in the Chocolate factory.

My favourite Tim Burton fairytale is the one about him still being a competent filmmaker. And, as for Depp, his performance is such that it actually makes me open to the idea of Nicolas Cage as Wonka.

This movie lacked "Pure Imagination".

That shirt, Minty, is AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I love this version. And Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonka makes it my favorite 😻🌟

Since older movies are starting to be highlighted why not 10 things about Darby O'Gill and the Little People, as well as The Quiet Man?

THE FUNNY THING IS CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY HAS 83% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES AND WILLY WONKA HAS 90% SO THEY BOTH HAVE BECOME SOME OF THE THE MOST ICONIC MOVIES LIKE JAWS

Oh!!! And Christopher Lee!!! Damn!!! He was cool!

I prefer this film as an adaptation to the original film by a mile. Better music, better performances from the kids. Growing up with the original film I always was annoyed by how different it was from the book. So the remake was a welcome improvement. I only watch the original now.

10 things you didn’t know about Terminator Salvation

I love this version, i wasnt born when the original movie with Gene Wilder came out, so i saw this one first. It was my first IMAX movie watching experience btw. But even so, my dad got the Gene Wilder movie on dvd and i saw it too. To this day i love both of the movies.

Minty great content as always. Nothing but love for you ❤

The problem with Tim Burton remaking kids movies is they're always darker than the original.
