That’s even better!
I liked it. Well, I liked the Oompa Loompa songs and the fact that it was closer to the book in a few aspects.
Really? The complaint I remember hearing from other G1 fans is that the current version isn’t scary enough.
Yeah, it had it’s “dark/edgy” moments too.
A lot of people who complain about newer versions of things being “to dark/edgy,” often fail to see the original had some dark things about them too.
Like I remember some older MLP fan was complaining about MLP:FiM being to “edgy/modern,” and such, but doesn’t seem to recall the “edgy” things in G1 MLP. >>421289
Not to mention, the Gene Wilder version had the creepy-as-hell boat ride.
When you looked at the page someone must of been greatly misinformed, the page for characters right now has him listed is “Dr. Wilbur Wonka ( 2005 film only)”
So unless he was in the one chapter of the planed third book, look up Charlie in the White House if you want to know more, then Wonka’s father was never in the books.
Huh, odd I heard on TVTropes his dentist father was in the book, guess somebody had it wrong, or never read the books.
So Burton movie is the only case where Wonka’s father actually plays a part at all.
Nope, it had a space hotel, aliens trying to take over earth, and shenanigans involving the changing of the age of Charlie’s grandparents(minus Grandpa Joe).
It;s there that I think the only mention of Wonka’s own family came up, but I could be remembering that wrong and nothing was ever said.
I heard his father was in the sequel book, the “Glass Elevador,” but I never read it so I don’t know.
I read the book long ago and it still surprises me how the movie that was closer the it is not seen as good as the other.
Oh by the way, for what I understand Wanka’s father was not in the books at all, I think there is a hint that they had a strained relationship but it’s like one line and he never actually is around and defiantly not a dentist.
I have never really met anyone who liked it frankly. Even my sister who loved the original book, didn’t like the newer Tim Burton one. (And she LOVES Tim Burton movies.) It also gets low star scores on Netflix, and such.
As for me, there were some things I liked about it, and some things I didn’t. I like how it showed you the aftermath of what happened to the snobby kids, while the original movie didn’t show what happened to them at all. (As a kid, I always wondered what happened to them.)
It was also kinda amusing Deep Roy played all the Oompa Loompas.
I haven’t read the books, (except a li’l bit) but that’s what I heard somewhere.
Actually a lot of people loved it, it’s just the hate and general dislike stood out more.
And wait, really, that’s from one of the books? Wow, and here people were insisting Tim Burton came up with it.
Ironically, said newer version was not as well-liked as the original Gene Wilder one. Some felt it was to dark/creepy, and such. Though, Roald’s books were quite dark for children’s stories. (Hey, kids like dark things. Even MLP:FiM has it’s own “Nightmare Fuel” page.)
I hear they did sneak in a few things from the sequel book, such as Willy Wonka’s father being a dentist, who wouldn’t let him have candy as a kid, and such.
His widow actually had a huge hand in making the Depp version and thinks if Roald were alive to see it, he’d say it was exactly what he wanted from the first one to begin with.
Alot, of authors hate the movie adaptions to their books actually. (Especially, when they get a few things wrong, and such.)
Only one I can think of who enjoyed theirs was J.K. Rowling. (Harry Potter) She even remarked she though Dobby the house elf was adorable in them.
Yeah but he was like the alan moore of children’s books. He hated everything.
He hated it so much that he put it in his will that Hollywood could never adapt the sequel book “The Glass Elevador” ever.
Wonder what he would’ve though of the Jonny Depp version…
Jesus, where I can I take this film class?
Think the weirdest thing I read about was for my film class, and the Wizard of Oz where it’s 1 part B&W, 1 part color, and finishing in B&W.
One theory was the color part being a drug induced dream, and the black and white section represented the harshness of reality.
