Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (DVD, 2005, Full Frame)

For me Gene Wilder will always be the true Willy Wanka (sorry Johnny Dep) and I will probably never stop having the Oompa Loompa song pop into my head at odd moments. Quite frankly this movie was such a wonderful translation of Roald Dahl's book, that I was surprised that anyone would want to remake it.

The storyline is brilliant, the "lessons" universal, and the special effects, cheesy but in a good good way. As I follow Charlie's quest for the ticket and his journey through the factory I feel his sadness, joy and wonder.

When I was picking out DVDs for my kids, this was at the top of the list. It is a must have for Childs DVD library.

I purchased a video from this seller and paid for the item in a couple of hours and waited a week and never received a email from them about the shipping. when I emailed them and told them I was reporting them to ebay they wrote me back and said that the item was damaged and I would not be receiving it. I would have been ok with this if they would not have waited for 2 weeks before letting me know something. this company does very poor business and i do not recommend anyone trying to do business with them. the company is inetvideo.

Desde que la vi en ebay,la tuve que comprar........!ya que cuando era pequeño la veia mucho en la tv y siempre tuve la ilusion de visitar la fabrica de chocolates de willy wonka.....gracias.

This is a wonderful movie that will for sure be passed on for generation to generation. Based on the book by Roald Daul, Mel Stuart takes you on a great big adventure through the chocolate factory. Five golden tickets have been hidden in the Wonka bars for five lucky children to find. Not only do they get to tour the factory, but are given a life supply of chocolates. Charlie Bucket - the more nicer of the five, (Peter Ostrum) is the boy that loves and cares for everyone. Mr. Willy Wonka, (Gene Wilder) is a kind-hearted, a bit scary and mysterious person who lives with the Oompa Loompas within the factory with the heart of a child. As he takes them through the factory, the other four children eventually all disappear from their own chosen fates until Charlie is left, leaving him the next owner of the factory. Several actors of the 60s and 70s appear in brief cameos at the beginning of the film such as Rod Taylor and Monty Python's Eric Idle.

This DVD was purchased as a gift. I was unable to find the DVD at any of the local stores. I am very satisfied with this ebay purchase, especially because I spent less money on ebay than if I had purchased it from a catalog. It was exactly as described, and arrived in plenty of time for the birthday it was purchased for. This was a positive experience, and I intend to buy more gifts through ebay.

I bought the movie for my son. He loves this movie. This movie makes it easier to put my son to sleep at night. My niece loves the movie too. My son and niece watch it every weekend together.

great movie. cheap price and lightning fast shipping! will definantly buy from again. thanks a million my daughter loves it

I ordered this movie because I enjoyed it as a child for its entertainment value and thought my kids would enjoy it. They loved it and also learned a little bit about childhood behavior. The movie helped reinforce a few of the ideas my wife and I have been trying to instill in our children since birth. It's not a replacement for parenting, but entertaining and a great way to spend time with your kids (which I need to do more of).

Order and enjoy!!

Daughter wanted Willy wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Had it on vhs but could not find on dvd. Found a great price on ebay and picked it up on dvd. She has watched three times already and will watch in many more.

We had ordered this from Movie Mars, my son was in this play, and this was part of his gift for being in the play. How the girls gets flowers he usually gets a movie/game. I was worried we wouldn't receive it on time, but we DID.

Alway enjoy watching and singing along with favorite movies of ol'. This classic was first enjoyed while singing along with the Oompa Loompa's. Their words of wisdom in those days (like today) are very enjoyable and straight to the point. They made the movie what it still stands for today, HOPE. Hope and dream and anything is possible. Also with the recognition of other behaviors from other children (and parents) must also be noticed and considered. Discipline and tolerance must be made aware of, and delt with.

This movie is a CLASSIC! I love everything about it. It just allows you to be a child again and love it so much. The joys and wishes of finally winning and being rewarded for having a kind heart! It's a beautiful story!

It was WIlly Wanka CD for my kid birthday.
Got it as described and in time for his big day.
He's seen it 20 times now and still going..
Thanks
Best

I saw this great movie when it came out in the theater in 1971, I was 10 years old. It was fantastic on the big screen, the vivid colors, the candy, a kid's dream come true. When I had kids, they loved it too, it is a magical tale and a great story. If you haven't seen this movie, then get to it! You will be richly rewarded.

I couldn't bring myself to see the remake with Johnny Depp, there is no way he could improve on Gene Wilder's character - Wilder was perfect. And I like Johnny Depp a lot!

I love this movie! I was very excited when I found it, especially at such a great price. I watched it as soon as it came in the mail. It was high quality, there were no problems with the disc. Very Satisfied!

As a family, we can all sit down and enjoy this show together. It is good, wholesome entertainment!

Whats not to love about this movie? Watching it brings back all the memories of it watching it when I was 7 yrs old! It even brought back all of the same fears! Remember slugworth or the boat ride through tunnel where all of your worst fears were shown going faster and faster until you finally got to STOP THE BOAT??!! Or how about walking through the "little door" and seeing all of that yummy candy yours for the taking?
Well this movie lets you remember all of it again plus alot more! The extras this movie has are awesome. The one I love best was watching the movie with the original cast members and hearing all of the little inside secrets from the making the movie and the fun they all had doing it.
Buy this movie and relive all the retro memories you might have.
My kids love it too and think its way better than the new Willy Wonka!
Well of course it is!

Great movie, loved it as a child and now my children can watch it over and over again. They love watching the movie and the "Umba Lumpa" song.

Great, classic movie! My son loves it and heck, so do I. It's just one of those movies that you must have on hand for many years to come. It was a great purchase and a great price.

I always loved this movie.. I had it before and unfortunatly it came up missing.
I love fact that dreams do come true in the mind of a little boy, he believed and it happened.
Grandpa Joe was a huge believer as well and kept Charlie's spirits up as well.
It is a great family movie and makes the kids cheer with delight..
Once again, I love the movie and others that buy it will enjoy it as well..

I never received the product or any information. The seller kept my money and never responded to my e-mails. There are alot of thieves on e-bay.

One of the best family movies ever made. Right up there with The Wizard of Oz! Good moral values taught in a fun way. I grew up watching this movie and probably love it even more as an adult.

Great story. Fun for kids. Good morale lessons and fun music.
Very enjoyable movie for the whole family

As a lover of original works, I really enjoyed watching this film again. Now in my collection for the next generation to enjoy!! The quality is very good indeed. The innocence of the story is touching and the nostalgic "feel" leaves you smiling.
For the family with young children who still believes in clean fun and a few good laughs..this classic movie is a must have!!!!
