“It’s not the chocolate that matters, it’s the people you share it with,” sort of encapsulates how I feel about watching reactors on KZfaq! The movies I love are made so much better every time I see another human appreciate them like I did the first time I saw them. Thanks for sharing your time and your tears with us- you’ve got a great sense of humor and a good heart. Keep these reactions coming please!

Man, I saw this in the theater, and when he started singing Pure Imagination, the whole theater was singing along. Easily second only to Gene Wilder himself.

Fr, I was shocked that people that watched this movie did not got sad. This movie shot me in the heart too😭

Bruh when you said “you can be my first Oompa Loompa little black girl” had me literally choke on a cookie

"I wonder how Wonka met the oompa loompas in the book?" Basically as depicted in the Johnny Depp version, Wonka met them while he traveled the world, offered them safety from the wild animals of their homeland, offered cocoa beans as payment (since that's what they desire) for working in the factory

I'm not a huge Chalamet fan, but I feel like he did really well in this film. At the end when he started singing Pure Imagination my heart melted and I cried.

I felt so vindicated when people who were preemptively hating on this movie (before it even came out) ended up loving it after actually watching the movie. Paul King is a master at making films like this. The minute I knew he was involved I knew it was going to be good. The Paddington films were the same way - I don't think anyone predicted they were going to be THAT good but they are, especially the 2nd one. They're honestly worth reacting to imo

I saw this for the first time with a friend of mine. She insisted it was good but of course i was just like "yea yea whatever". In truth, i was in a very dark place in my life because i had recently found to have a chemical imbalance problem which was affecting evety aspect of my life (and also precluded me from eating sweets so i was in hell). I was so depressed but one evening she just pestered me to come see it with her, she knew how much i loved musicals so eventually i just went fine. But i gotta tell u, not only was this movie amazing but it was exactly what i needed to lift my spirits overall. Its been a long time since a movie has made me feel that way and at this point in my life, i could not be more grateful❤❤❤

Sometimes nothing is better than a wholesome fun family film that makes you cry buckets. ❤

it really surprised me how magical this movie was tbh

The ending had me in TEARS omg!!! I'm glad we got a Wonka origin story! I loved it

as someone who couldn’t care less about this franchise i love this movie!!! we need more kids musicals with magic vibes like this!!!

Loved this film. The last 5 to 3 minutes had me bawling like a baby. The minute Timotheè Chalmet sung Pure Imagination and the girl reunited with her mom I was 😭 .

Movie Fact: If you pay attention to the score you can hear the next song play in the background before the actors sing it. Also when you see the officer visits the vault you can hear the monks humming the Sweet Tooth song.

That “come with me” song always hits hard in ur heart

I'm excited you finally watching this one..its one of my absolute favorites..at the end when he finally slowly starts to sing that first part of the Gene Wilder's song "Come with me ..." ..ugh I broke down in tears..the nostalgia of it all!.. I felt Gene all in that song.. btw if you don't mind I'd like to recommend you to watch 'Selena' please.. and or "Dead Silence" ..Thank you, I love your reactions Mell !🥰

"A world of your own" is definetely my favorite song. It just brings me alot of child-like joy back to me

I was pretty surprised with this take on Wonka. I enjoyed it more than I was expecting. Please watch Mallrats.

The song for bribing the officer (chawclate) had me in stitches. I really loved the ending for this. It's grown on me enough that I'm pretty sure it's now my favorite of the three.

As a fan of the original film, I was a little hesitant to watch this so I waited until it was streamable. That was a mistake. I should’ve watched it in the theaters. Everyone did a spectacular job & it made me a fan of Timothée Chalamet. I also cried my eyes out at the end. One thing that upset me about the movie isn’t the movie, it’s the marketing FOR the movie. They should’ve said it was a musical. Also, at the theaters, they should’ve been offering Wonka Chocolate because those candy bars were my absolute favorite. They used to sell them at Toys-R-Us & I would visit there all the time just to get those candies. Also-also, they should’ve sold little Oompa Loompas of Hugh Grant. Like little Blind Bags of him, keychains, little statues, etc. The marketing really dropped the ball on this 🍫

I’m crying with you in the end, Mello.

Bruh, had me crying… I’m now obsessed 😅with

Bro! I've been secretly watching you for a while. You were actually one of the first reactors I started following. This was a good one. You had me crying with you. You're not afraid to be vulnerable and that's awesome. Keep them coming bud.

Yup, I had the exact same tearful reaction at the end. The way Pure Imagination worked so well for Noodle’s story just broke me.

I really wasn’t interested in seeing this movie. But I caught it one night on tv and I really liked it. And the ending…….chef’s kiss❤️❤️

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. Loved the ending.

43:01 I had tears in my eyes too.. from that sound you made Mellow! Lol

Yea this got me in my feels too

I will always love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Gene Wilder’s performance in that movie but I absolutely love this movie and it works perfectly as an origin story for a character as eccentric as Willy Wonka.

Love everything about this video. The movie, the thumbnail, the reaction! It was a real Treat! Pun entirely intended!!

I wasn’t much of a fan of Timotheé’s until I saw this. He and the little girl who played Noodle are so fantastic. And Olivia Coleman is great in everything she’s in.

hot take but I kinda like how they hinted how crazy wonka might be, just with the choclate, getting mad people have never had it, daydreaming, and, getting ideas from the stuff he saw. also noticed the branding sign right next to wonka at the sharing chocalte scene . I kinda like this verison more becuase, it shows how you can reach your dreams through diffrent hardships togther, after being stuck for a long time and, after that you got your dream. I feel like not many movies now a days have these messages not sure why.

This movie truly surprised me, but I'm mad they didn’t bring the Wonka Bars back to promote this... Wonka bars were Delicious!!! 🍫 But Cannabis Dispensaries should also give their change in spendable or edible options.

Loved this movie had no idea it was a musical! You will absolutely love Paddington 1 and 2! They are very good wholesome films that are a lot of fun!

This movie has been one of the best movies/shows I’ve seen in the last 5 years tbh. It was so good. It was majestic and beautiful. I’m not sure if this movie is the origin story of Wilder’s Wonka but if it is I rather it be its own thing cuz he’s extremely kind in this and then pretty cruel in Wilder’s Wonka.

You have the best reactions! Love your sensitivity. You always have me crying. This movie was great!

The scene with Wonka and Noodle with the balloons was my favorite part because of how visually stunning that scene was. My favorite song is A World of Your Own. I went to see the movie when it first came out. I was downloading the soundtrack as I walked out of the theater. It was all I listened to for a couple of days.

I was an emotional WRECK in the theater. I rank the original as #1, of course, but this is #2 for me. Depp rounds out a *perfect* trilogy at #3. There's no better story told to children than the tale of Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory. So magical and inspiring 🥹😩💛 even to us jaded adults.

I love Wonka so much. It’s such a good musical.

My biggest regret with this movie is that I didn’t watch it in theaters cause I was drawn in when I streamed it on MAX, but funnily enough that was the first video I was searched for of yours 2/3 months ago bc I had just watched your collab with BillyBinges doing Ted! I’m glad it’s here AND I got to discover all your videos in the meantime !!!!

🤣😭😇 I'm fueled with joy that you enjoyed the movie as much as I did. 💪🏾

THE BELKO EXPERIMENT 😂😂😂

Bruh, all those old school ad breaks have me dead. xDDDDDD

Man, I'm crying too! Thanks for your reaction

I really loved this movie the messages in it were very meaningful

ONE OF THE BEST REACTIONS EVER AND ESPECIALLY IN THE END. 😢😅 THE WATER WORKS BRUH 😎 KEEP UP THE GREAT REACTIONS MY FRIEND. 💯 YOUR CRYING MADE ME CRY TOO LOL

While Abigail the giraffe IS CGI, she’s completely modelled on London Zoo’s Molly (Molly’s never had a calf though, so you won’t get any milk from her, however nicely you ask!)

39:48 “Dieabeetus.” - Wilford Brimley

I love WONKAAA 🤣🤣😭😭perfect timing I didn't know what to watch❤❤

The movies that makes you cry and smile are the best movies you can watch

45:51 Fan theory is that the police chief went on a crazy diet and became slim in jail, and then became friends with the giraffe.

Awesome reaction of my favorite Willy Wonka movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

I loved Wonka and I cried too :)

8:00 LMAO that’s what i kept thinking. they’re is like 6 of us and 2 of them. WE FIGHT OR WE DIE TRYING 😭

Thank you for being vulnerable in your reaction, it was a preacious moment. Couple of fun facts: the scene for a world of our own is actually made by real chocolate (I don't remember if all of the room or maybe only the tree, but I heard this a while ago and there's a bit of an interview with the chocolatier that made it), the "good day sir" of the oompa loompa after he hit Willy with the pan it's a reference to the Gene Wilder same line said to Charlie's grampa when he asked for the life supplies chocolate , the chocolate in which Willy and Noodle should've died was actually real chocolate and the scene where Willy is singing with the old man "a world of our own" going one step foward and one step back it's another reference to Gene's Wonka going up and down the first time he's showing the kids the room with all the chocolate.

This movie really captured the feelings of the original for me

YESSSS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE THANK YOU!! ♥️ love you dawg been a huge fan for a while

This movie also made me cry way more then I thought it would! Loved it from start to finish!

1:41 accurate😅

Watched this with my family. We were all surprised about how good & funny it was. Found myself tearing up at times. My mom kept arguing with me that Wonka went to Hogwarts because he could do magic tricks 😂😂

The amount of time I’ve rewatched this movie??!! It’s sooo good

35:18 Never thought we'd get a 'Judgement has come upon you' vibes from a giraffe....

28:08 yep, "Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Musical". I recommend it, the West End version, the Broadway version and the most recent UK tour. It's a real fun watch and very probably the darkest adaptation of the original story.

I find this movie to be similar to Cruella in the sense that it’s like the origin story to an alternate universe version of the character we know. I can’t imagine Emma Stones Cruella trying to kill dogs, and I can’t imagine Timothee’s Wonka trying to punish children. I think both movies work, they are definitely both fun!!!

U need to see his other works but let me just tell u, his acting range is crazy. 1. Little Women 2. Bones and All 3. Beautiful Boy 4. The King 5. Lady Bird 6. Don’t Look Up 7. Call me by your name

i loved this movie when it came out definitely one of my favorites of 2023

I loved your appreciation for this movie

9:27 this delivery absolutely slayed me. 😂 Actually a lot of the deliveries in this movie are really funny

They really captured the Roald Dahl vibe with this too, I feel like he would have enjoyed it.

Theres they guy in france that makes everything in chocolate. He’s real life wonka he’s everywhere on social media

This movie is so damn powerful I'm surprised that Charlie didn't make a cameo appearance or maybe he wasn't born in that time period

44:20 bro cry I never seen you cry wow.

Just a beautiful, funny movie. Mannnn

Fun fact: The Security Guard for the Zoo is Simon Farnaby who is one of the writers of this film.

Go watch Dune 2 right after this, since after he filmed this movie, he went straight to shoot Dune 2. This is also a good follow up to see how good his acting is!

28:20 great song and wow for the 29:34

WTF where the hell do you get these clips from bro😂

5:53 Wait a minute… BLONDE HITLE-!

The editing is amazing 😄

Yay this is so good ❤

This movie took me by surprise. I really liked it too.

It's because of this movie that I'm now a fan of Timothé Chalamet 😄💕🎶🎥

1:08 A bit, but he's fun. And it's not his fault if people dont' listen to his warnings and just start grabbing at stuff without worrying about precautions

I was crying my eyes out at the end also Mello….it’s ok

I clicked this so fast seeing this! I loved this movie. It turned out so well in my opinion. I feel like it connected well with the original movie well - and that is my favorite version (with Gene Wilder). I was impartial to the Depp version - I know it is more accurate to the book and it’s good in it’s own way but I grew up with the original so has that Nostalgia I can’t overlook lol. This was my first movie I saw of Timothy’s so I defiantly became a fan of his because I think he did so good.

I'm right there crying with you, my guy...

15:44 😂😂

The editing Killed me 😂😂😂😭👏🏽

26:25 either way they were gonna get backlash for it because movie studios get backlash when they cast dwarfs as like elfs, or the 7 dwarfs from snowwhite but then they also get backlash for casting someone tall in the role so they cant win really, either way theres going to be some idiot that isnt happy about it

I would love to see him react to “treasure planet”

The chocolate must flow!

i was expecting the movie too be weird but it was great ❤

Yes they did make a broadway show Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and it’s a great show. I felt the added some nice stuff from both movies, but added so new stuff to make unique to the show. It’s a great show to see if you get a chance. I’m hoping they tour it nationally again because I’d love a chance to see it again

Nice to see matt lucas and a couple of the OG horrible histories crew getting more work

They catfished us in that trailer. No songs were in it at all. And I'm not even mad, the soundtrack is good. XD

IM NOT GONNA LIE WONKA WASENT THAT BAD 😊

PLEASE REACT TO "SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON"! It's a story about a strong, beautiful horse with a spirit that can never be broken. I cry every time I watch it! It's a INCREDIBLE film, and the songs are so cool! But it's not a musical and the animals can't talk. 😭💔🔥

This was loads of fun to watch. I enjoyed it alot. @MelloVerse I would like to suggest Hell Comes To Frog town starring Rowdy Roddy Piper. He's got more one liners in this one and entertaining as Hell.

It gave me that same magical vibe I had when watching the original Harry Potter for the first time. Wholesome escapism..

You can be my first oompaloompa little black girl 😂
