When Gene Wilder was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease he told his family not to tell the public because he "couldn't bear the thought of one less smile in the world." RIP Gene Wilder a great man deeply missed.

For me, there will never be another Willy Wonka. The Tim Burton version might have been more book-accurate, but nothing can ever come close to the world of pure imagination. "We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." RIP Gene. You are sorely missed, and greatly loved.

I love how invested they got in this movie. It's nice to see it can still have an impact 50 years later.

Such a heartwarming film. The song “Pure imagination” still gives me goosebumps

One thing I've enjoyed about this gem is that there's a sub theme to it which is used as an allegory to the 7 Deadly Sins. Augustus Gloop: Gluttony Mike Teevee: Sloth Veruca Salt: Greed Charlie Bucket: Envy The people searching for the golden tickets: Lust Willy Wonka: Wrath Violet Beauregarde: Pride 27:12: He's speaking French. He's saying "Ladies and Gentlemen, now we are going for a great little boat trip. Do you want to come on the Wonkatania?". 29:02: Now he's speaking German. He's saying "My dominions, please give me your attention. You now come into the most interesting room of my factory, the most secret room at the same time. Ladies and Gentlemen: The Inventing Room".

Beautiful reaction, ladies. Don't worry, I'm 43 this year and STILL cry when Wonka gives Charlie the factory. It's a wonderful kids film :)

Even after all this time, this movie still brings a smile to my face! RIP Gene Wilder.

16:13 "Are they going to kill him?" 🤣🤣🤣 too funny!

Y'all are great. and your concern over factory hygiene was quite endearing.

I saw this for the first time when I was nine years old. It was playing at a party with a bunch of my friends. I guess they’d all seen it before, because they weren’t too interested in sitting and watching. They ran off to play, but I was memorized. I thought it was one of the coolest movies I’d ever seen!

19:52 "what an entrance!" indeed!

As a child growing up in the 70's this was the most magical and amazing movie.

43:30 awwww, ryl's eyes tear up instantly. 🥲🥰

When you asked what Wonka said in the other language, which was French by the way was “Ladies and gentlemen, now we will take a little trip by boat.”

RIP Gene. U were a genius. Along with ur wife Gilda. The body of work u guys left us will last a lifetime. The love u guys shared was adorable n to be admired. I don't mean to sound mushy. But it is what it is.

This movie used to come on TV every year when I was a kid. And every time I watched it I'd spend the next couple of weeks laying awake in bed at night, afraid that if I fell asleep I'd turn into a giant blueberry. Aww, you guys are so sweet. Loved your reaction!!

Loved your reactions! Such a classic childhood film. It really does bring you to tears as an adult. Gene Wilder was a gift from the Universe 💖

13:44 "The fifth and last golden ticket has just been found, right here in Paraguay-" -where, for some reason, they deliver news broadcasts in _English._ 🤷‍♂

That was a glorious reaction, thank you. Are you Sisters, you have a nice dynamic.

When I saw this film in the cinema, twice, in 1971, the audience freaked out during the paddle-boat sequence. They made a lot of noise!

You two are so cute watching this!

22:40 why having fun? Best line!

The Johnny Depp rebut is a separate movie unrelated to this. They are two different adaptations of the same book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

A ❤Beautiful Genuine reaction from you 2 .This is a Timeless Classic

"Mesdames et messieurs, maintenant nous allons faire un petit voyage par bâteau" is French for "Ladies and gentlemen, now we're going to make a little voyage by boat."

Funny. Whenever I watch you two I notice a small speck on the wall between you. I think it's on my screen but won't wipe off. Funny.

One of my favorite memes is a picture of Grandpa Joe that says, "Good morning to everyone except Grandpa Joe who sat in bed for 20 years and allowed his family to wallow in poverty but hopped up like a mf to go to a candy factory." 🤣

“i am now telling the computer exactly what it can do with the chocolate” 💀💀💀

Charlie is what happens when young boys/men grow up in loving families.

Ryl... U look just like Dee in the sitcom What's Happening in the late 70s. Danielle Spencer. Cutest!!! Sassiest!!! Sitcom was hysterical. "Hey, hey, hey."

My favorite movie in 1972 and still top 10. Nice reaction ladies

I loved the new Wonka 2023. But this is still the classic

Oh Cool, my favorie version of Willly Wonka!!! I think Gene Wilder played a better Willy Wonka than Johnny Depp. Some other Gene Wilder movies that I recommend: "Young Frankenstein", "Silver Streak", "Hear No Evil, See No Evil".

y'all should see Grandpa Joe in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 😂 at least this Grandpa Joe had to take a few minutes to get used to walking again, the Grandpa Joe in Charlie and the chocolate looks twice as old as this one but immediately jumps out of bed and starts footworking without Charlie even asking him to go with him yet 🤣

I always thought Wonka should’ve put gates around the chocolate river

Not a bad childhood movie for sure, it gives off really jolly vibes as well, and was actually an inspiration for me way back when I wanted to work at a candy store, but not anymore, still the memories are nostalgic

The Depp film is the same story as this film but it is closer in tone to the book. It's also funny but a lot creepier like the book. There is a second book, 'Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator' which is about adventures after this story. Love the reaction to what happens to the kids and parents.

The Johnny Depp version is a remake, not a sequel, and not half as good. Watch it by all means, but I don't think it compares that favorably. The teacup Wonka drinks from was made of wax, so he could take a bite but not actually eat it.

gobstoppers are a real candy but they're round balls and have different flavors inside each level

The Depp remake was actually pretty good...I loved getting more of Wonka's story...it's worth the watch

A prequel is coming in December and it looks wonderful

great reaction, very engaging. one of your best, imo. 😎

25:49 Apparently the actresses playing Veruca and Violet both had a crush on the actor playing Charlie so the director decided to put that rivalry into the movie.

29:15 "why's that oompa loompa so tall? 😆

I enjoy watching your reactions but this was so nice to see, a film from my childhood & your reactions were just great, filled me with joy to see both of your amazement & confusion 😂 Just like when I watched it 40 years ago!

The Johnny Depp movie is a remake of this one. They are making a prequel where the origins of Willy Wonka are explained.

Fun Fact Rapper Krayzie Bone made a song like The Candyman but called the Dummyman. He says its one of his favorite movies.

GREAT MOVIE, GREAT REACTION ✌️

The Johnny depp version is a remake and good on its own but cannot be compared to the wholesomeness of this version every time I watch this it’s just pure childhood nostalgia I remember watching it and when saw winks chocolate thought maybe it was a thing and it would be me

"Meine Herrschaften, schenken Sie mir ihre aufmerksamkeit" is German for "Your Lordships, give me your attention."

Gene Wilder was such an epic genius. The comic timing and improv of a master. He's the only Wonka the world would ever need (besides the book because, of course) He improvised the whole poem(?) in the boat tunnel and created his own entrance outside the factory. In fact, that trick entrance was his only stipulation for doing the movie. The newer version with Depp & Burton is NOT a part 2. It's just a stranger and much darker reboot of the classic. A little closer to the book but definitely not as much charm and wonder. Also, the Wonka movie that's coming out is it's own thing as well. A prequel. A bit brighter and lighter by the trailers but we'll still have to wait to see about it.

20:28 I don't think people started to get that that was creepy until years later.

Looking back it seems funny how Grandpa Joe has been in bed for 20 years all of the sudden he starts dancing around the house. 18:20

1. I first saw it when I was 10. 2. Ronald Dahl the book author was a well-known LSD user. (you can see why). He als didn't like this adaptation of his book. That's why we got the Tim Burtin/Johnny Depp remake. 3. The Umpa Lumpas told the reverent portion of the story. Anything beyond that would have been unnecessary and overkill. 4. I suspect Wonka knew which children would win the tickets (lessons for our behalf) because Slugworth was at the scene almost immediately. 5. Many people (especially women) seem to get a creepy feeling from Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka. 6. This is the only roll Peter Ostrum/Charlie. He's now a veterinarian. 7. After reading the script, Gene Wilder said he would take the role of Willy Wonka under one condition: that he would be allowed to limp, then suddenly somersault in the scene when he first meets the children. When director Mel Stuart asked why, Wilder replied that having Wonka do this meant that "from that time on, no one will know if things are real or not." Stuart asked, "If I say no, you won't do the picture?" and Wilder said, "I'm afraid that's the truth." 8. Fun fact: Veruca/Julie Dawn Cole didn't have any adult with her when they went to Germany to film the movie so Gene Wilder himself stepped in to make sure she was taken care of.😎 9. You can get away with anything in a musical.

Great job again ladies! 🙂 I really enjoy your reactions and commentary’s! 🙂

Peter Ostrum aka Charlie was offered 5 movie deal, and he declined the offer. Because Peter wanted a normal childhood. Then many years later, Peter went to school for veterinary medicine for his doctorate. Since 1984, Peter has a practice in medicine in recently in New York. Peter does comic cons with other "Wonka Kids" except Denise Nickerson aka Violet who, sadly passed away in 2019. "Kids" recently reunited at a comic con in 2022 for Willy's 50th anniversary

5:24 I love that line. Students must not say anything to the teacher that he doesn't already know. 😂😂

Inn case anyone is wondering the other four children are fine. We see them at the end of the book (and the 2005 movie). Augustus is covered in chocolate and the pipe squeezed him so tight he's now thin, the chocolate will wash off. Wondering if he'll still want that lifetime supply of chocolate. Violet got squeezed back to her normal size but she's purple. There might be a chance that that will wash off....eventually. Veruca and her dad are covered in rubbish but it's nothing 4 or 5 baths won't fix. In any case they're completely unburned. In the 2005 movie her dad finally put his foot down. Mike got a little overstretched in the taffy pulling room so now he's really really tall and really really thin, but as Mr Wonka pointed out, now every basketball team int he world will be begin him to join, plus he'll be able to play the piano with his feet now.

A generational, cult, family classic…watched a kid and have now probably seen 20-30 times. It’s that feel good timeless Classic…Gene Wilder? LEGEND!!

Gene movies to watch... Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, Woman in Red, his movie with Gilda Radner his wife, any movie with Richard Pryor

The Depp movie is Burton's adaptation of the book. But this year we are getting a prequel, it's just called Wonka.

*Fun Fact: in my public schools, students who did well on their SAT were taken to the auditorium to screen this movie. Because it's wholesome.* One year, we screened The Omega Man (1971). Which was a weird choice for teens.

Both the cup he ate 24:30 and the lockable wallpaper 32:52 weren’t edible. in fact later revealed in a 2011 interview that the wallpaper "tasted like wallpaper" and was "disgusting." And for the cup it was made completely out of wax. 🤦‍♀️ but it’s still my favorite wonka movie to me it can’t be replaced

they should make one where charlie runs the factory. that’d be cool.

The original book back in the 1920-40s was originally made to be a black main character as Charlie. (In part the idea was Charlie a kid of the city who’s family suffers poverty from city conditions and well the life of being black back then and how racism/paper contracts/legal matters etc all resulted in these conditions which a kid doesn’t comprehend fully but lives in and sees everyday. Inheritance is a legal matter, but for kids that paper contract isn’t really comprehended. inheriting the entire factory which they tour and see is a glimpse at that totality of the contract/legal matter of which are unseen. A factory which not only runs the city and the work forces in that area but in part is the inheritance of sugar - chocolate from South America mixed with milk from Europe and sugar from the colonies/countries that were colonized. All to make a sweet to be enjoyed and not really think about how it was made but that it brings joy to the current moment. The author wanted to have a main black character because there was such few media representation at the time and such few positive ones where something good happens to the character. Due to publishers back in the day the characters were made to be rewritten as white so that it’s less of a conversation conflict or as deep of a story over all. Altho the tones and underlying themes are really really obvious when you think about how that original Charlie influenced final film and book versions. In the films the Charlie family always connected to poverty of Ireland/Europe and themes related to that- less of an American city/British city perspective/frame/set up

We saved Warrior Nun !!! Love you guys btw ❤️

Secret to a long relationship, buy a large box of assorted chocolate, and at the end of a lovely day together, pick one each and remember how much you love each other. You've got a fantastic channel, thanks, now go get some chocolate.

After seeing this at the theater in 1971 I ran home to give my mother an excruciatingly detailed review of it. She patiently listened as she moved about the kitchen preparing dinner. I was oblivious to helping her and too wrapped up in my own world. The flick is pure bizarre comedy which seems to get lost on new generations that over analyze it to try to make sense of nonsense.

They just announced wonka is coming out it’s a movie about how he became Willy Wonka

I just Realized...? If They Had Shrunk to Be That Small to get IN The Factory, Then How Small are The OOMPAH-LOOMPAHS..?

28:27 this movie is rated G!! 😳

theres always one tall oompa loompa

14:39 the funny thing is that it’s actually easy to do a percentage on that. It’s.02%

38:36 mike get away from that thing ! ..... stop dont come back 😂😂

Gene Wilder came up with the Willy Wonka entrance with the cane and somersault. It is a brilliant introduction.

thee jonny depp one is not a sequal is a wildly different interpretation of this same film

I didn't really care for the Johnny Depp remake. But that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it. Everybody's tastes are different.

You might enjoy Pay It Forward 💞💞💞🥂☺️

I love y'all! :)

Wonka❤🍫

It would make a great YT short or TikTok for you guys to show just the Veruca scenes to your parents and see what they think about her. Any parents who see this movie for the first time always have great reactions to her tantrums :P

The song Candy Man became a signature tune for Sammy Davis Jr! You should give it a listen.

gene wilder and the director never warned the other actors what he was going to do on the boat. so they thought he was raving mad lmao.

This was my favourite film when I was a child. If I’m ever feeling blue I throw this film on and the jokes have me laughing again. Sammy Davis Jnr. had a hit with the song Candy Man. The flower cup that Gene Wilder drank from and then ate was made out of wax. In an interview Gene Wilder said that when he ate the cup he had to wait for the director to say cut before he could spit it out.

Willie Wonka walking out of the factory like he had a bad leg and then doing the summersault and walking normally was Gene Wilder's idea. He said he wanted to make his entrance that way because then nobody would be able to tell whether he was lying or telling the truth. The cast's reaction in the tunnel scene was real. When Willie starts singing, some of the cast thought Wilder was having a psychotic episode. When they rehearsed the scene near the end where Willie tells Grandpa Joe and Charlie that they broke the rules and stole fizzy lifting drinks, Gene Wilder played the scene as more disappointed than angry, so then when they filmed the scene and Gene starts yelling at them, Peter Ostrum's (Charlie) and Jack Albertson's (Joe) frightened reaction was real.

Funny to see ypu ladies taking Willy Wonka so seriously and enjoying the old jokes

This movie is such a classic

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory [2005] isn't a sequel, it's a complete remake of the original book

I love your guy's just take on His mom because for me I always thought that she is dashing his dreams and I always argue with my brother about it because he thinks that she's. The nicest lady ever and I'm like no she dashes his dreams.

To find out what happens next you will have to read the book "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" by Roald Dahl.

11:58 "Can't you shut up? I'm busy." These kids. Spoiled little twerps, every _one_ of 'em.

I keep thinking of that scene in "Thor : RAGNAROK" when Thor is about to meet The Grand Master. LOL

I love the sense of wonder I your reaction. In the Chocolate Room, Wonka is speaking French. He is aging, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going to take a little boat trip. Would you board the Wonkatania.*. Outside the Onventing Room, he is speaking German, baducally telling the remaining guests they are entering the dream center ov hid factory, from what i can gather. Gene Wilder was fluent in both languages

In the candy man song you can see the guy opening the counter and hit a poor girl right in the face

The Johnny Depp one is a remake of the original but there's a new one called Wonka

9:30 nice snap to that slap!

Great job ladies I’m glad you enjoyed it. I did too. It was fun to watch with you. John Depp version. Is it remake version movie it’s like it never happened the same story over again but John does much more scary. He hates kids. Gene Wilder loves kids. The new one is called Wonka and. Willie Wonka before he gets the factor and meets the worker’s Travel in the world. I’m having chocolate

43:43 "I think that's why they have _another_ one with Johnny Depp." Nope. That one's a _reboot,_ not a _sequel._

30:28 "this is the meme."

Great reaction.
