Willy Wonka??

Question

Which movie do you like, the old Willy Wonka or the new one that had Johnny Depp in it?

I personally liked the old one better, the new one was too creepy for children. What do you think?

Answer 1

I absolutely LOVE the original movie, it was a family movie, one of the best ever made. The new willy wonka was horrible, bad acting, faces that looked like wax, and they got rid of those cute Oompa Loompas and replaced them with that freakish looking midget!

################################
The world is astounded when Willy Wonka, for years a recluse in his factory, announces that five lucky people will be given a tour of the factory, shown all the secrets of his amazing candy, and one will win a lifetime supply of Wonka chocolate. Nobody wants the prize more than young Charlie, but as his family is so poor that buying even one bar of chocolate is a treat, buying enough bars to find one of the five golden tickets is unlikely in the extreme. But in movieland, magic can happen. Charlie, along with four somewhat odious other children, get the chance of a lifetime and a tour of the factory. Along the way, mild disasters befall each of the odious children, but can Charlie beat the odds and grab the brass ring?

Charlie Bucket, a poor boy who is barely able to support his family, is fortunate to be chosen as one of the 5 people to go inside the most popular and powerful chocalate factory in the world: The Willy Wonka Chocalate Factory. But a stranger, named Arthur Slugworth, tempts the kids to steal a piece of candy and give it to him. In exchange, he will make them rich. Willy Wonka, played by Gene Wilder, soon introduces them to the factory, and starts the grand tour around the factory. Once inside, the 5 winners start to run amuck. One by one, the 5 kids start to disappear, until it is only Charlie that remains. At this point, Wonka starts to ignore Charlie, and then tells him why: because Charlie and Grandpa Joe, played by Jack Albertson, drank some forbidden product without permission. Will Charlie turn against Wonka? Or will he discover that he was wrong and make up what he has done?

Movie Mistakes:

Continuity: When Willy is coming out of the factory, there is a large shadow crossing the walkway when the camera angle is at Willy's back. Right as he walks into the shadow, they change cameras to show him from a closer shot, and he is further back on the walkway and for the second time walks into the shadow


Revealing mistakes: When Charlie and Grandpa Joe float towards the fan, you can see the cables holding them up.


Continuity: As Charlie Bucket is leaving the shop he puts the chocolate bar in his trouser pocket. When he walks away from the news-stand he takes the chocolate bar from inside his news-sack.


Revealing mistakes: When Violet turns into a blueberry, you can see the hose inflating her blueberry suit. (Full screen only.)


Revealing mistakes: When Willy Wonka does a pirouette and reaches to push the button for the Wonkavator doors, he misses the button, but the doors open anyway.


Continuity: Before Mike Teevee gets taken away, the Oompa Loompa shoe pom-poms are white. When the Oompa Loompas start singing the pom-poms are suddenly orange.


Continuity: In the final scene in Willy Wonka's office, the consistency of his hairstyle changes back and forth from neatly-gelled and manicured to flyaway and ungroomed.


Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the last Oompa Loompa musical number (following Mike Teevee's undoing), the Oompa Loompa in the foreground apparently doesn't know the words to the song.


Continuity: When Mike Teevee is going to send himself via Wonkavision, the cameraman (Oompa Loompa) puts his goggles on twice.


Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When everyone is in the hallway outside the nerve center, they are all crouched down; when Wonka opens the door they are all standing up straight with 6 feet of room on top of them. The room and hallway are full of other such optical illusions, so this is clearly an intentional artistic effect.


Revealing mistakes: When Wonka first allows the children into the chocolate room he makes an umbrella out of a "mushroom" top. As he twirls the umbrella you can see the stab holes in the Styrofoam bottom from prior takes.


Factual errors: The liquid issuing from the beehive on the machine that makes the chewing-gum meal is obviously not honey, as honey is more viscous.


Errors in geography: Though Violet Beauregarde is from Miles City, Montana, the point where the number for her is placed on the map is consistent with Butte, about two hundred miles from Miles City.


Continuity: You can see Gobstoppers already on the conveyor belt, before any have been made to show to the kids and parents.


Audio/visual unsynchronized: During their first song, the Oompa Loompas sing, "What are you at getting terribly fat", but the words flashing across the screen say, "Where are you at getting terribly fat".


Continuity: When Charlie opens his first Wonka bar and says he found the ticket, the bar is inside the plastic casing still, but when he turns around, it is out of the casing and in his other hand.


Crew or equipment visible: When Mike Teevee gets thrown back into the pots/pans after eating the exploding candy in the inventing room, you can clearly see the line attached to his belt that was used by a crew member to yank him backwards.


Crew or equipment visible: The wire holding the Wonkavator is visible as it flies over the city.


Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Willy Wonka plays the piano lock to enter the chocolate room, Mrs. Teevee announces that he is playing Rachmaninoff (Sergei Rachmaninov), when in fact he is playing the intro to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Overture to the Marriage of Figaro. It's a joke.


Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Willy Wonka misquotes John Masefield's line in "Sea Fever" when he says "...and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to sail her by". The correct line is "...and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by".


Continuity: When the Wonkavator appears for the first time, it appears completely different from the one that goes through the glass ceiling (e.g., the spire is missing from its roof, and there is less exterior trim).


Audio/visual unsynchronized: Veruca's lip-synching during the song "I Want It Now" when she sings "And I don't want to share 'em".


Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Charlie goes home with the golden ticket just before he hands the ticket to Grandpa Joe, you can see that his mother says something to Grandpa Joe, just behind Charlie's head. You can tell from her lips for a second and then by Grandpa Joe looking at her, but you can't hear anything she says.


Revealing mistakes: When Willy Wonka does his somersalt on his way to meet the children, the mat on which he lands is visible under the carpet.


Continuity: When Charlie finds the coin and buys his first candy bar he stuffs as much as possible into his mouth, yet in the very next scene, his mouth is empty


Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the office, after Charlie is introduced to Slugworth, Wonka puts his hands on Charlie's shoulders. You can hear Wonka say, "You've won," but his lips don't move.


Miscellaneous: At the start of the movie when all the children are in the sweet shop, the shopkeeper lifts up a section of counter to go to the customer side of the counter and does not put the section of counter back down. The shopkeeper returns to behind the counter through another section of counter, and then re-opens the first section of counter to let the kids behind the counter. Also, when he lifts up the counter the second time, a girl by the counter clearly gets smacked on the chin by the rising counter.


Continuity: When everyone first enters the chocolate factory containing the chocolate river, the cast enters in reverse order of how they were positioned to in the previous scene when Wonka plays the musical lock on the door.


Revealing mistakes: When the Candyman gives the children the strip of dots on paper, you can clearly see the kids pretend to pick the candy off the paper and eat them.


Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Charlie and his family are watching the television, you can see and hear the anchor talking about the chocolate bars. In the next scene when you see Charlie talking to his grandpa, you can only hear the anchor talking because in the background (Full-screen only) the television is off. Although, in the next shot the television is in again.


Continuity: In the inventing room by the everlasting gobstopper machine, Veruca looks over her left shoulder at her dad, and Mr. Salt is right behind her. The next shot, Mr. Salt takes a last step towards the group, and is clearly much further to the left of Veruca. When the group is shown from the front again, Mr. Salt is back right behind Veruca.


Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the kids in the candy store are yelling, "Me, me!" their lips don't move.


Miscellaneous: As the reporter is pointing the microphone to Augustus's father, he eats the top. However, in the next scene, he points the microphone to Augustus's mother with the top on the microphone.


Audio/visual unsynchronized: At the beginning of 'Cheer Up, Charlie' Mrs. Bucket's lips aren't moving with the music


Revealing mistakes: In Wonka's office, the clock's pendulum should be anchored under the number six; it is off-center to the right, thus breaking the harmony of everything being cut in half.


Revealing mistakes: When Mike Teevee is telling his mom he feels fine after he got shrunken and put into the television, you can see where his platform ends to the left.


Revealing mistakes: When Willy Wonka rushes over to Augustus Gloop, Augustus can clearly be seen pushing himself into the river.


Miscellaneous: Violet can taste the gum even though she never puts it in her mouth.


Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Charlie presses the button in the Wonkavator, you can hear Willy Wonka say 'There it goes", yet, his mouth does not match and you can tell that his audio was edited to say that.


Revealing mistakes: The two doors that Willy Wonka exits while coming out of the factory are fully lit but in the next shot from the point of view of the crowd, the right door is shadowed.


Revealing mistakes: You can clearly see that Willy Wonka is about to turn right down the red carpet but in the next shot, he has been pushed back toward the end of the stairs.


Revealing mistakes: After Willy Wonka shuts off the Everlasting Gobstopper machine, he goes to pick one off the conveyor belt to show to the guests. The conveyor belt pulls up briefly with the Gobstopper, revealing it was previously stuck to the belt.


Factual errors: When the evening news is on announcing that Augustus Gloop is the first golden ticket winner, it goes live to Germany. However if it is the evening in the USA where the film is set, it would be the early hours of the morning in Germany. However, the restaurant where Augustus was interviewed was very busy.


Continuity: When everyone first notices the chocolate river, thinking it's dirty water, Willy says, "It's chocolate." As he is saying this, Veruca can be seen putting a piece of candy in her mouth. The camera then cuts to a close shot of Veruca saying, "That's chocolate!?" at which point her mouth is empty and her hand is completely away from her mouth.

Answer 2

The new one is good, Johnny Depp is really funny, but classics always beat newbies. Gene Wilder is a better actor and the trouble that the kids get into is more fun in the old one. Oh yeah, and Gene looks sooo much more like Willy Wonka in the book. Where did they get the inspiration for Depp's look? Nelly Furtado?

Answer 3

I like both. The first one is good because it's a good movie! ha ha.. and I like the second one because they added a whole lot more like how willy wonka became willy wonka and other things

Answer 4

Gene Wilder will always be Willy Wonka to me!

Answer 5

I grew up watching the old one, but I like the new one better. The new Willy is darker, weirder, and more spazzy. People shouldn't put it down because of that... the book is pretty dark too! Plus, its a Tim Burton movie... what else can you expect? The new one rocks! It's a great story either way, though.

Answer 6

I love Johnny Depp, but I like the old Wily Wonka better. It was just so bizzare and funny.

Answer 7

The one with Gene Wilder was best. Willy was more natural. I could see why the kids would want to go see him and his factory. With the new one...Willy was creepy and with the additional "details" added in...like he was almost psycho (flashbacks) and some of the fantasy was just too over the top (his jungle time finding the oompa loompas who came to work for him becasue they had to eat crappy food in the jungle and liked his chocolate).

The newer one wasn't really approproate for small kids in my opinion.

Answer 8

I'm an old 43yr and I remember when the first one came out ,then the second one came out which I took my children to see and I thought they messed it up ,the second one so my opinion says by far the first one was the best.

Answer 9

I really like them both. I don't really think of them as the same movie because i find them so different, so I don't have a preference.

Answer 10

the old one because the new one makes johnny depp look relly bad (unlike in pirates of the caribbean). The old one was more for children the new one is kinda creepy

Answer 11

Definitely the old one. I thought the new one was decent, but just didn't stand up to the classic.
