I tried calling

Yeah, we really wanted to see Christian Borle

Thanks for the heart

Thank you for your kind words, and I'm excited to see your version of Wonka! And yes, it's sad that Wonka's Swedish cartoon is lost; the probability of SVT putting it back on their Open Archive is able to happen considering how the Swedish Wonka has gained attention in the world of lost media.

@@josephbradley6967 I think the real reason they made the 2005 version of Wonka being less... "natural", is that I think that's the point of the character. Wonka's name was derived from the word "Wonky", like crooked and unstable. Heck, even the flashbacks that Grandpa Joe presented prior to being at the factory is meant to have the audience see how much Wonka had changed. In the flashback (and behind the scenes footage), Wonka use to wear a purple coat, red gloves, black pants, and a red top hat, while he also had a clean haircut; the post-flashback Wonka has his colors for his coat and gloves swapped, while the top hat is colored black, and he has a bowl haircut. It doesn't help that Wonka firing his entire human staff over stolen formulas resulted in his sanity to dwindle, turning him into a class-a introvert. This version of Wonka is meant to be the polar opposite of Charlie Bucket, since Roald Dahl hated the idea of Charlie's father being killed off so that Wonka can be the father, as it is not what Dahl intended (meaning the 1970 film is not canon in Roald's eyes). The 2005 film retained both Mr. Bucket and his Toothpaste job; funny enough, dental hygiene plays into the narrative of the story, in both Mr. Bucket's job and Willy's dad, Wilbur Wonka, DDS. Wilbur wanted Willy to have better teeth, while also not being obsessed with candy to the point of losing his teeth; while Mr. Bucket worked for a Toothpaste factory (called Smilex in the film, referencing Tim Burton's Batman movie), and that Wonka's contest led to more cavities, resorting to Mr. Bucket being given the Pink Slip, and replaced by a Robot. Although this version of Wonka is not the best by design, some would argue he's the best Wonka by characterization. Just ask Media Momentos, in his video "Why Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the Superior Film". Mind you, he's not saying "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a bad film", just that it's a good film that's overrated and riddled with problems.

Good luck with your Wonka!

well thats not part willy wonka as a character. this video is the character evolution, infact, that scam wasn’t even an official wonka thing. so it likely wouldn’t be included in this kind of video.

Looks great! 👍
