Reviews: Imaginative book for all ages
In this story, Roald Dahl creates a world of smells, sounds, and even tastes as he leads you (and five lucky children) through candy-maker Willy Wonka's delicious world of sweets. It's not only a story unlike all others, but it is a trip into a world of childhood delight.

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory [SOUNDTRACK]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
It's as if composer Danny Elfman's fertile relationship with director Tim Burton had been building up to this, their 11th collaboration and perhaps the one that best encapsulates their shared aesthetics: It's hard to think of a subject better suited to the two men than an adaptation of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. For the occasion, Elfman has come up with five actual songs (and sings on them), which reminds one of the 1980s heyday of his old band, Oingo Boingo. The first, "Wonka's Welcome Song" is a demented minute-long blast that evokes 1960s kiddie TV. Each of the other four (which use Dahl's own words) is dedicated to one of the children invited to visit Willy Wonka's factory, and each is done is a different musical style. All are fantastically fun. A personal favorite is the mock-operatic "Mike TeaVee," on which Elfman basically transposes "Bohemian Rhapsody" to a hyperactive cartoon universe. The lovely "Main Titles" acts as a transition into the instrumental part of the score and will be familiar to fans of Elfman's music for Edward Scissorhands, particularly its otherworldly, celestial choral sound. The rest of the tracks simply represent the work of Elfman and his longtime arranger, Steve Bartek, at their best, alternately flamboyant, dreamlike, and suggestive. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Review: Danny Elfman's Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
More of a techno-tune fantasy than the bubbly candy land music of Willy Wonka, Danny Elfman's fantastic and original score for Tim Burton's Charlie & The Chocolate Factory is possibly one of the best soundtracks ever from the legendary composer. I've been a huge fan of Elfman, everything from Simpsons to Sleepy Hollow. Hints of Edward Scissorhands and Mars Attacks prevail throughout the running time. Starting off with the up tone antics of 'Wonka's Welcome Song' and the 'Augustus Gloop' and 'Violet Beuregarde' theme tunes, the highlight is track 7: Wonka's First Shop. Equally impressive is 'The Indian Palace' and the charming 'Wheels in Motion'. This is the soundtrack that Danny Elfman was born to compose, combining some previous scores while infusing it's own unique blend of quirky fun. CTCF is one of those soundtracks that make you want to watch the movie even more, and this is a great accompanying soundtrack. Charlie's Birthday Bar and The Golden Ticket/Factory combined with the effortless wit and sparkle of Chocolate Explorers and Loompa Land; this is the soundtrack that all enthusiasts must own. While not as memorable as the classic Bricusse and Newley 1971 oompa-loompa original, given time it will be remembered as one of the best soundtracks ever. This is a must for Elfman and Burton fans, and a great addition to my already extensive Elfman collection.

Review: Ingenioius, Giddy Music
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an inspired tour de force of comic insanity, retribution, and an enormous place that makes the most luscious sweets around. Suffice it to say that the soundtrack to this movie must live up to this insanity, which it complements to a tee.

One of the funniest, most surprising things about this movie is the Oompa Loompa's music, which, coincidentally, is a hallmark in the first movie as well. The Oompas Loompas sing to each child as they "get it" in the factory, sending them off with a bit of jabbing and barbing their lesson. Danny Elfman took the words from the actual book, and put them to music. Each child has a different "theme" of music, which becomes almost as comical as the actual song. Combined with inspired choreography, it makes for a laugh-sterical time.

The opening song on the CD is quite catchy and frivilous, which greets the kids and parents as they enter the factory. Most have compared it to a TV show theme, which is very true. Try leaving the theater without that song stuck in your head.

The rest of the CD is magical with music from the movie, and it's typical Elfman fare. It's amazing how much alike his music sounds from one movie to the next, yet each is brilliantly unique.

The first Wonka movie had it's own music, which is indelible and memorable. This movie and music is not meant to replace that classic, but to add a new chorus into an amazing story. You won't regret buying this soundtrack!

Review: Great Soundtrack
Was a very good soundtrack. I liked how they put the songs with lyrics on it, which I find is unusual on most soundtracks. My only problem was that the song about Violet Beauregarde was hard to hear lyrics.

Review: best film ever
A Kid's Review

I think charlie and the chocolate factory is the best film ever.
My favaurite person was willy wonka because he looks like micheal jackson

Reviews: The music is recycled from Beeatle Juice
In the story was butchered by Burton, while the music is a rehash of either the Batman music themes, or Beatle Juice, and indeed the Planet of the Apes remake music can be heard. No surprise, They might has well just "stock music" the whole thing from start to finsih.

Reviews: FANTASTIC!!!!! GET IT!
If you like alternative, old school rock, Indian music, classical...Well, you name it, this CD ROCKS! Danny Elfman really busted loose on this one! When I saw the movie; which was really good, I knew before half the way through: I had to have this soundtrack. The style is varied enough in each song so as to keep the listener hooked...no matter how many times they listen; at first groovy, then industrial, mysterious then to booty-shakin good fun...give this a listen, if you haven't already. I'll be listening to this for years to come....

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (Paperback)

Review: Nice abridgement
This abridged version of the book is nicely enough done for the pages allowed and the age group targeted. There are some pictures from the Burton version of the movie. Overall it is nice enough but nothing whizbang. I had not read the original full length book, but I had seen both the Wilder and Depp versions of movies, and AFTER I read this purchase I got the original book and read it. Reading this abridged version first made the original easier to read, because I find Dahl's writing a bit tight until you get used to it.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Puffin Novels)

Description
For the first time in a decade, Willy Wonka, the reclusive and eccentric chocolate maker, is opening his doors to the public--well, five members of the public to be exact. The lucky five who find a Golden Ticket in their Wonka chocolate bars will receive a private tour of the factory, given by Mr. Wonka himself. For young Charlie Bucket, this a dream come true. And, when he finds a dollar bill in the street, he can't help but buy two Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delights--even though his impoverished family could certainly use the extra dollar for food. But as Charlie unwraps the second chocolate bar, he sees the glimmer of gold just under the wrapper! The very next day, Charlie, along with his unworthy fellow winners Mike Teavee, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Augustus Gloop, steps through the factory gates to discover whether or not the rumors surrounding the Chocolate Factory and its mysterious owner are true. What they find is that the gossip can't compare to the extraordinary truth, and for Charlie, life will never be the same again. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, another unforgettable masterpiece from the legendary Roald Dahl, never fails to delight, thrill, and utterly captivate. (Ages 9 to 12)--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From AudioFile
Charlie Bucket's weird and wonderful adventures after finding a Golden Ticket in his Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgmallow Delight have entertained generations of children (and inspired two big screen adaptations). Eric Idle, of the Monty Python comedy troupe, fits like chocolate in a mold as he reads Roald Dahl's classic tale of a poor boy's visit to a fantastical candy factory. Idle becomes the munchie mogul Willy Wonka as he brings his nimble vocal talents to this novel. There are times when Idle is perhaps too nimble, particularly when he modulates his volume, rising from a quiet whisper to an ear-piercing yell. Haven't the directors heard of volume normalization or a stage whisper? The CD version is labeled as an enhanced CD, but the only enhancements are links to a Roald Dahl Web site and Harper Audio's own home page. Quibbles aside, listeners of all ages will find Charlie to be a delicious treat.

Review: A Wonderful Family Book
My son doesn't like to read, so after seeing the movie I bought this book for the 2 of us to read together and it is WONDERFUL!! My son is actually liking to read this book.

Review: Another Roald Dahl Masterpiece
Forget Jonny Depp. Forget Gene Wilder. Come back to the one, the only, the original...

In this delightful tale that will enchant adults and children alike, young Charlie is living a very meager existence when suddenly he wins a chance to visit the mysterious Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, where fantastic, magical things happen.

This story is entertaining in its own right, but is also a delightful, wickedly sharp commentary on child rearing and excess in modern society.

Review: Takes the frown of ya brow
Ha, this book is great, and I am 28 years old. am fairly The high of this book is a sugar rush...lots of fun~ and I am not going to say, "I am reading it to my kids", as I don't have any! Roald Dahl was a great man and thank you to those quirky school teachers who had enough guts to read his stuff to us when we were young. Dahl is dark, but hey life is not all roses, so to those parents out there who "tut tut" over Dahl, and the "scary" images he conjures up...get over it and stop being so politically correct!

Review: Awesome Book!
This book is awesome. I'm 13 years old and maybe I'm too old to read this kind of book but I don't care because this is such a good book. I just keep wanting to turn the pages and find out whats going to happen next. I just get lost in it! I say get this book!! You won't be sorry!!!

Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
This is a great kids book and it reminds me of my childhood when I read it. I am glad I bought it.

Review: reading the book after seeing all the movies
I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to my 4 year old son, and we were not disappointed with Dahl's story. However, the illustrations were a bit quirky and did not appeal to him. The sparse, black and white sketches seemed inaccessible to a younger reader.

Review: Great Read-Aloud Book!
I purchased this book to use with a student that I tutor in reading as part of a unit on chocolate. She has loved reading it with me and is upset when we have to put it down. I grew up with this book and have loved it ever since. It truly has something for everyone and teaches some wonderful lessons (good and bad!). This is a must read for anybody..not just children!

Review: willy wonka is opening his amazing chocolate factory
this book is the greatest kids book ever !!! its all so a good book for adults.this book is about a kid named charlie bucket who finds a golden ticket and gets to go to wonka's amazing chocolate factory. he sent out 5 golden tickests and who ever finds them they get to come in.the five people that found the tickets are.... augustus glup,violet beaurogurd,mike teevee,veruca salt and ofcource charlie bucket.inside the factory they find lots of supprises like everlasting gobstoppers,square candies that look round, fizzy lifting drinks, and alot more.at the end wonka gives his factory to charlie. then they go pick up all of charlies grandparents and his mom and dad .and they all live in the factory.
if you liked the book you should go watch the movies the old verson and the new verson.

the old one was with gene wilder and was a gret movie but back then they couldnt get all the things from the book so they made new made up stuff in some parts.this film is so amazing all the actors did a great job ( especilly gene wilder as willy wonka) but its mostly the same from the book. this is for adults and kids out of ten i would give the old verson 10/10

on the other hand the new verson starrs johnny depp its exactly like the book and has all the new effects they couldnt have back then so its kind of different then the old one.but its mostly the same. all the actors did a great job ( especilly johnny depp as willy wonka) this is kind of mostly for kids because the humor is pretty good for a kid to watch. and this wouldnt be as great for adults. for adults i recomend the old verson. and the ommpa loopas are much different from the old verson.out of ten i would give this 9.5/10

overall charlie and the chocolate factory is an amazing book and every body must read it its great for kids. alot of credit goes to roald dahl because he came up with this brilliant idea.
overall i would give the book 10/10!!!!!
cheack out the movies and the book.
(read the book first before you watch the film for the ultimate experince) or just watch the film you decide!!!!!!!!

Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
A Kid's Review
This book was really funny and fun to read. I especially enjoyed the part where Mr. Wonka said he made "Square candies that look round" and everyone else said "They don't look round, they look square!" and then Mr. Wonka said "They DO look around!" because they had little faces on them that looked around. The Oompa Loompa poems were a lot funnier than in the original movie. I highly recommend this book.
I am 7 years old and this is my first book review. I love reading now!

Pure Imagination: The Making of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Hardcover)

Reviews

FFrom Publishers Weekly
Mel Stuart's 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory has become a cult classic, equally enjoyed by children and adults. Fans of the film will delight in Stuart and Josh Young's Pure Imagination: The Making of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, a compendium of facts, photos and film stills concerning the movie Roger Ebert called "probably the best film of its sort since The Wizard of Oz." The authors explain the role Roald Dahl played in the film, who the candidates for the role of Willy Wonka were (besides Gene Wilder), how the whimsical set-from the chocolate river to Mike Teevee's TV room-was created, what went into Violet Beauregarde's blueberry costume and more. The Youngs also provide an intriguing look at special effects in the pre-Spielbergian early 1970s, an overview of critics' responses (Pauline Kael called it "stilted and frenetic, like Prussians at play") and a "where are they now" section (Peter Ostrum, who played Charlie Bucket, never again appeared in a feature film, while Julie Cole, who played Veruca Salt, developed a successful voice-over career).

Book Description

Wonka Bars...Oompa-Loompas...The Candy Man...The Gobstopper Machine...A Chocolate River...The Fizzy Lifting Room...Lickable Wallpaper... Revisit the magical world of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" in this behind-the-scenes look at one of the most popular films of all time!

Ever since Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was released over thirty years ago, millions of viewers have fallen in love with this unforgettable movie based on the classic novel by Roald Dahl. Now from the film's director Mel Stuart, comes Pure Imagination, the first book ever written on the blockbuster picture that won over kids and adults alike, making it the legacy that it is today.

From how Willy Wonka went from the page to the screen--Stuart's twelve-year-old daughter asked him to make a movie of her favorite book--to each step that was involved, beginning with the pre-production stage, the development of the set design to shooting and editing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, here is a full, insider account of all you've ever wanted to know about the film. Filled with over one hundred lavish photographs of the production, most of which have never been seen, Pure Imagination is the ultimate companion piece for lovers of the film.

Stuart's engaging, light-hearted manner comes alive on every page as he shares colorful anecdotes, interviews, and fascinating trivia, such as the untold story of why the Oompa-Loompas have orange faces and green hair, and little-known facts, including how Gene Wilder was chosen to play the part of Willy Wonka. He describes how the film became a huge hit, and why it still captures the imaginations of audiences today.

A dazzling, visual retrospective celebrating the magic of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Pure Imagination is sure to be a collector's item and will make the perfect gift for anyone-whether they are fans of this timeless film, or have just discovered it for the first time.

Review: A good book only if you don't have the DVD.

While the book is interesting in and of itself, 80% of the content was already said in the audio commentary track of the DVD. The book reads like Mel Stuart listened to the commentary and retyped it out. Plus, even though the book is 160 pages, it's a very light read, you could do it in less than a day. I think it would have been better if there was more detail rather than just limiting all the topics to just one sentence each.

Review: Come with me.

...and you'll see a world of Pure Imagination. And pure imagination is what you get from this beauitfully done retrospective on one of the most important films of my generation: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, written by Mel Stuart and Josh Young.
Filled with pictures and wonderful stories, this book provides an enchanting, enjoyable walk down memory lane. You read starting from the original impetus to make the film, all the way to a fond reunion many years later of the kids and director.

Mel Stuart, being the film's director, has numerous and interesting insights to the creation of this classic. Some of the information in the book is also mentioned in a documentary on the Willy Wonka DVD, but no fear. It seems that if you love this movie, you simply cannot get enough of it!

This book was purchased for me as a gift, and it does make the perfect gift for anyone who loves this movie. Or buy it for yourself, curl up on a cold, rainy night, and relive all of those wonderful memories you have of this incredible movie.

Review: You've made me the happiest boy in the whole world!

Thank you Mel! Thank you first for bringing this wonderful film to life (and special thanks to your daughter for bringing the book to your attention), and thanks to you and Josh for bringing back to book form. The pictures alone are worth the price of admission, and the stories behind the scenes are even more valuable.
I treasure this movie, and now I will treasure the book. Thank you again. For everyone reading this review: If you love Willy Wonka, BUY THIS BOOK, it's a Golden Ticket.

Review: A Great Book For Willy Wonka Fans!!

It's hard to believe that as a child I had nightmare of Oompa Loompas. Today I adore them! Now that's what I call facing my fears.
I recently purchased Pure Imagination through Amazon.com not only because I'm a huge Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory fan, but also because it was listed at a very nice price that I just couldn't pass up. This (hardcover to date) book is full of wonderful behind-the-scenes photos of the classic family movie that many fans had never seen before. There are tons of facts behind the making of the movie and surprises that will make you gasp or laugh out loud. For example, did you know that after shooting for the day, the Oompa Loopa's were quite the party animals at night! I knew it!

This book also shares the ideas and influences behind the breathtaking set designs, costuming, script, castings, music that made this wonderful family classic. What I most enjoyed, however, was the "Where Are They Now?" chapter that updates fans on the current careers and lives of the child stars of this movie who are now grown professionals. This book is a must have for true Willy Wonka fans and as you go through the glossy pages, you'll feel like a kid all over again.

Review: A gorgeous and memorable read

Pure Imagination: The Making Of Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory is written by Mel Stuart (who directed the film) with the assistance of Josh Young. A colorful and exiting look at the making of the fantastic movie adaptation of a classic children's book, and which starred Gene Wilder, Pure Imagination is the story of how the popular children's book was faithfully adapted into a major Hollywood movie. The memorable story is about a poverty-stricken young boy who is granted the chance to experience the mystic workings of fabulous candy factory; yet there are hidden dangers amid the tour! Vivid color photographs and adventurous text with a touch of wry humor bring to life the adventure of capturing a wondrous literary fantasy on the silver screen for all to see. Pure Imagination is a gorgeous and memorable read which is especially recommended to anyone who has enjoyed the film either in its original theatrical release or at home on video.

Review: A Factory of Fun!!

Thirty years ago, a film was released that was instantly hailed as a classic. Lifted up along classics like The Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was a tremendously successful adaptation of a tremendously popular book by Roald Dahl.
Now the director of this legendary film, Mel Stuart, has released Pure Imagination, an inside look at the making of the film. The book is great for any fan of the film. It has a lot of really interesting background info from the production of the film and some neat behind the scenes photos.

The text is a bit simplistic at times, but the real draw of this book is the information conveyed, not necessarily the style in which it is written. Reading about Roald Dahl's part in the making (he was actually on set) was worth the price alone.

Pure Imagination is a great book for anyone who has seen the film.

Fun Facts: More about Willy Wonka

Willy Wonka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka in the 2005 movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka in the 1971 movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.


For many years, Willy Wonka has been the official mascot for Nestlé's The Willy Wonka Candy Company.Willy Wonka is a fictional character who owns a chocolate factory in Roald Dahl's children's books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. A musical film adaptation of Dahl's classic, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, directed by Mel Stuart and starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, was released in 1971; it was originally a box office flop, but today is seen as a cult classic because of its campy humor. Another version of the tale, also named Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka, was released in 2005, and was an immediate box office success.

Willy Wonka as a character
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
Neither the original novel nor Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory had a backstory for Willy Wonka (other than Grandpa Joe's explanation to Charlie).

Tim Burton's 2005 version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory added a history of the character: Willy Wonka was the son of dentist Dr. Wilbur Wonka, D.D.S. (played by Christopher Lee). Wonka had a traumatic childhood; his father forbade him to eat candy, and forced him to wear a torture device of orthodontic headgear. Eventually, he tasted chocolate and started getting ideas for improving it. When he became an adult, Wonka opened a sweet shop (Grandpa Joe was an employee for Wonka). A number of movie critics, including one from the New York Times, criticized this overly Freudian backstory for being both unnecessary and out of the spirit of Dahl's original novel.

He is still a little reclusive, often hiding his face behind something or other in public. He proved an unparalleled genius in confectionary development, inventing seemingly impossible products that captured the world's imagination. His sweets became so popular that Wonka opened his own factory and his products were shipped and sold worldwide. However, other chocolate makers became jealous and started sending spies to find out the recipes for Wonka's special treats. Ruined, Wonka closed the factory and fired all his workers. A few years later, the factory once again started running, secretly staffed exclusively by Oompa Loompas, aliens from Loompaland who desired only cocoa beans above all else and his business resumed its dominance. Wonka discovered them while trying to find new exotic flavors for his candy.

Eventually Wonka, not having any heirs, feels the need to arrange for a successor for his business, if only to provide a home and work for the Oompa Loompas. However, he believes he needs one groomed from childhood to guarrantee he or she would keep with his company's methods and spirit. To that end, he announces a lottery with five golden tickets randomly placed in his products promising a tour and a lifetime supply of his products to the winners for starters. Five children find the tickets, including Charlie Bucket, and they go on the tour of the bizarre factory. As Wonka had hoped, all the children but Charlie misbehave and find themselves in terrible predicaments that prompt their removal from the tour. With only Charlie remaining, the delighted Wonka reveals his true intentions and his offer, one that Charlie eagerly accepts along with his family who are all moved to live in the factory.

Wonka is portrayed differently in both movies. In the 1971 film, Wonka is played as being mysterious; one cannot really tell what he will do next. When he is first seen, he exits the factory with a limp. Once he reaches the gates, Wonka performs a somersault. In the 2005 film, Wonka is more reclusive and takes an immediate dislike to the four bad children. When Violet gives her name, he responds (a little frightened) "I don't care".

A cartoon version of Willy Wonka, based on Wilder's portrayal, is used on products from Nestlé's The Willy Wonka Candy Company brand.
