But if anyone can beat the odds and one day build the most legendary chocolate factory in the world, it's Wonka.The film released in the United Kingdom on December 8 and in North America on December 15, 2023.Previews: Trailer, Trailer 2

Wonka / int_1ba17583	type	The Ghost
Wonka / int_1ba17583	comment	While it was never explicitly confirmed, in part due to them never appearing in person, the original book implies that the other chocolatiers - Slugworth, Prodnose and Fickelgruber - are all completely separate businesses that tried to compete with both Wonka and each other. This version shows the three running an elaborate conspiracy as an organized Chocolate Cartel, working in cahoots to maintain their shared control of the chocolate industry. In addition, instead of a professional rivalry where their worst crime was sending spies to steal his recipes, Wonka's rivals are openly hostile to him from the start and are much more direct with trying to get rid of him, with them attempting on at least two occasions to outright murder him, making their conflict far more personal.

These mints, hidden in the bishop's pocket, allow them to use the same giraffe to clear the upper floor of the chapel. One of the first chocolates Wonka shows off is the hover chocolates, with the Chocolate Cartel trying to make them sound disgusting. In the climax, Wonka produces a jar of them "for Lofty", knowing that they'd steal them and end up floating away — and not before Lofty ambushes them as they leave and from there rescues Wonka and Noodle.

Wonka / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Wonka / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Many, mostly specific to the 1971 film. In the closing stretch of "A Hatful of Dreams", when Wonka walks down a staircase and sings "If they have talent and work hard/Or so they say", he suddenly stops and walks backwards up several steps. This is a bit of choreography lifted from "Pure Imagination"; the staircase even looks somewhat similar to its analogue in the Chocolate Room. Wonka first unveils his wares to the public by giving his competitors "Hover Chocs" — chocolates with the same gravity-defying properties as the Fizzy Lifting Drinks from the book and 1971 film. Wonka ends up with five friends at the boarding house, and ends up having the closest relationship with Noodle, the youngest and poorest, while the other four could be seen as the Good Counterpart to the Four Bratty Kids. Noodle's personality and backstory have some strong resemblances to those of Matilda and Miss Honey, being a mistreated bookworm who must work off a "debt" she never deserved. For those familiar with the stage musical adaptation of the novel, the reveal that she is a librarian's daughter and their subsequent happy reunion may be a reference to the Librarian traditionally being played by a black actress. The Chief of Police derisively calls Wonka "Candy Man" during their second encounter. The Oompa-Loompas in this film are clearly based on the versions from the 1971 film; that said, they're closer in size to those from the book and 2005 film. The Oompa-Loompa Wonka deals with is named "Lofty" for being tall compared to his peers — the very same nickname and reason Roald Dahl gained in World War II. However, he later reveals that he is actually a quarter-inch below the average height and is really named "Shortypants" by his fellows. When the Oompa-Loompa first introduces himself, he takes out what is clearly the same flute Wonka will use to summon the Oompa-Loompas, even playing the same melody. The Oompa-Loompa uses the melody of "The Oompa-Loompa Song" from the 1971 film, with new lyrics, to explain his backstory, to mildly taunt Wonka when he's forced to leave the city in less-than-optimal traveling conditions, and finally to wrap up dangling plot threads in the first stretch of the end credits. Wonka's bottles of impossible substances are reused dream bottles of The BFG. The shopping baskets at Wonka's candy shop are edible, as per a lyric from the 1971 film's "The Candy Man": "You can even eat the dishes!" Thanks to eating all those chocolate bribes, the blue-clad Chief-of-Police bears some resemblance to Violet Beauregarde's blueberry form by the denouement. His belt even pops like hers did mid-transformation when the town square rumbles with the imminent release of the hoarded liquid chocolate. Of all characters, Lofty the Oompa-Loompa gets some of Wonka's classic quotes/quotations from the 1971 film, including "Good day sir...I said good day!", and "So shines a good deed in a weary world" upon witnessing Wonka reuniting Noodle with her mother. One of Slugworth's outfits (a dark suit and black hat) is reminiscent of the fake Slugworth's attire from the Wilder film. The bribe he and the other Cartel members offer Wonka is similar to what the fake Slugworth offers the Golden Ticket winners as well. At his newly-opened candy shop, Wonka takes a bite out of an edible cup, just like in the original "Pure Imagination" sequence. Lofty also helps himself to a cup in the chocolate factory.

Even in the climax, where he and Noodle are about to be drowned in liquid chocolate, his first thought is to start putting his own ingredients into it so they can at least drown in Wonka chocolate and spite the villains.

On the other hand, it's not that far off from his actions in the novel's as-yet-unfilmed sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator (which promoted him to protagonist), in which he outwits killer aliens and risks his life to save every de-aged Oompa-Loompa (one at a time), and later Grandma Georgina, from Minusland.

This implies that this Wonka won't become the recluse he's famous for being. Although, others may have taken over their chocolate companies and kept the names, who would've then been the ones trying to steal Wonka's recipes in the future.

He chooses the latter. In fact, the Cartel's not being wholly honest — the adults are free of Scrubbit but poor Noodle remains a prisoner (owing to her unknown relationship to Slugworth), and they are going to kill Wonka in a phony accident. Luckily, he figures out she's in danger on his own and this inadvertently saves him from the "accident".

Wonka chooses to leave the city and give up his dream of selling chocolate in exchange for the Chocolate Cartel paying off his friends' debts and providing Noodle money to have a good life. The others actually feel rather betrayed by this decision but reluctantly accept the deal. Scrubbit and Bleacher reveal that Slugworth and the others actually paid them to keep her in their custody for good to get her out of the way. When Wonka finds out about this however (and survives an assassination attempt on the boat), the others understand pretty much immediately and forgive him because this sort of thing sounds exactly like something the Cartel would pull. Noodle requires a bit more convincing, less due to her not trusting Wonka but more because of how bad things have gotten by that point.

The smart thing for them to do would have been for one of them to take all the potion bottles to the bathroom and dump it down the toilet or sink while the other distracts the policenote Though earlier in the film Scrubbit mentioned their toilet was clogged so that may not have been an option.. Instead, they both panic and being too frightened to think rationally they both gulp down the potions themselves. As the police come barging down, we see that they drank so much of it their mutation instantly happened and the police consider them caught red-handed.

There are notices visible in a phone box in German, and the police wear German police shakos (but in blue) and Imperial German-style epaulettes.

This foolish gullibility also gives Lofty a chance to attack him and escape, in contrast to the usual depictions of Wonka, who is The Trickster and wouldn't fall for such a trick. This can be justified by Wonka being young and inexperienced, whereas the more familiar Wonkas are older and more experienced men.

As such, he breaks the six squares apart, and gives one each to his five friends before eating the remaining one.

The various talents of Wonka's fellow workers in the launderette — accountancy, knowledge of the city's sewers, telephone switchboard work, and being able to make his voice sound like he's underwater — all play a part in Wonka's plan to expose the Chocolate Cartel's corruption. The third skill plays a special role in helping Noodle reunited with her mother. Wonka's talent for stage illusions and vanishing tricks (his original passion before he turned his ambitions to confectionery) ends up coming in handy when he and his friends start selling his wares in the city, as with Piper's help he figures out how to use the streets and their storm drains as a giant stage of trapdoors.

Wilbur was a strict and controlling single father who shot down his dream of being a chocolatier, with the result that the two were estranged for decades and Willy came to think very poorly of parents as a whole, serving as a Cynicism Catalyst. Ms Wonka was a kind and nurturing single mother who supported his dream to become a chocolatier, but whom he lost at a young age, shaping his idealistic Manchild personality. In both cases, however, the respective Willies make peace with their memories by the movie's end.

In fact, he isn't able to impress Mrs. Scrubbit as he'd like when he first arrives at the boarding house because he pulls the last few items out of it rather than the chocolate-related stuff he intends to.

Wonka / int_e3c36782	type	Call-Forward
Wonka / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: Victims of Mrs. Scrubbit's contracts end up discovering what they've been tricked into when they're sent down a laundry chute. Veruca Salt has an even nastier experience when she ends up going down a garbage chute in the novel and adaptations. On his first night in the city, Wonka loses his last silver sovereign in a sewer grate. By implication this is the coin Charlie Bucket finds and uses to buy the Wonka Bar containing the last Golden Ticket in the 1971 film. Wonka gets snagged by the innkeeper's fine print contract. The 1971 movie has him prepare a large contract with fine print for the children to sign, which also becomes something that snags Charlie. Wonka grew up on a riverboat. When he opens his chocolate shop, there is a decorative boat on what appears to be a river of frosting. This is presumably why he has a boat for his chocolate river in his factory. As a child, Wonka's mother collects cocoa beans throughout the year to make him one chocolate bar for his birthday. In the in the novel and most adaptations, Charlie's family saves up throughout the year to buy him one Wonka Bar for his birthday. Wonka commits himself to making sure he can provide Noodle with a lifetime supply of chocolate upon seeing how happy a single taste of it makes her. One of the prizes Golden Ticket winners are promised is, of course, a lifetime supply of chocolate. Taken further in the novelization: The epilogue reveals Wonka arranges for Noodle's home to have hot and cold running chocolate, which is also a reference to Prince Pondicherry's palace in the novel. The Big Night Out Chocolate works on similar principles to 3-Course Gum, in this case invoking all the joys and embarrassments of a night on the town. In the climax, Wonka and Noodle are almost drowned in a chamber full of liquid chocolate. Augustus Gloop can relate, the difference being that it was his own fault. Wonka's mother's last chocolate bar contains a message from Wonka's mother written on gold foil, a proto-Golden Ticket. While walking down a staircase in his first night in the city, Wonka hops up a few steps before going back down, just as he does at the beginning of his "Pure Imagination" song in the original film. Wonka sticks his cane in the cobblestones, where it stands up by itself, just as he does in his first scene in the original film.

So while Noodle suggests to Scrubbit that Bleacher is actually aristocracy (inspired by how she tried to seduce an actual aristocrat the previous year), Wonka tells Bleacher that Scrubbit's crazy about him and to do things like bathe and wear short pants to Show Some Leg!

Wonka / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: The Chocolate Cartel and Wonka constantly pay people in chocolate, to the point that, during the launch of his shop, an option is to receive change in chocolate coins. One of Wonka's chocolates, which emulates a night on the town, is constantly used as a sedative, with the zookeeper regularly knocked out by it. At the zoo, Wonka and Noodle wonder why the flamingoes never just fly off and leave their enclosure. Inspired by the humans' Balloonacy in "For a Moment", they do, and appear flying over the city several scenes later. During the climactic stretch, they become part of a traffic jam (that Slugworth's car gets caught in) when they swoop down on the bounty left by a wrecked truck that was transporting fresh fish. Whenever Slugworth or Fickelgruber make implied threats regarding Willy and his friends, Prodnose explicitly clarifies them, up to and including things like "...in which they died."

When they drug Basil the zoo guard with the Big Night Out Chocolate, he calls a girl he had a crush on when he met her at school. Later, when they break into the Cartel's secret headquarters, one of the guards is a reclusive woman, who turns out to be the exact same girl. Noodle's dream is to find her mother and live with her in a home full of books. Her mother, Dorothy Smith, runs the library, complete with living there, and happily takes Noodle in when they meet.

Wonka / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: When Wonka protests that he needs the earnings the police have confiscated from him to pay for his room stay, Officer Affable gives him the one silver sovereign he needs to cover the cost. Downplayed after Slugworth lies to his destitute almost sister-in-law that her baby daughter has died: he does give her a handful of money before sending her away, although his face indicates this is more of a dismissive gesture than a compassionate one (especially given that it's a direct analogue to how Wonka compassionately gives up some of his few silver sovereigns to a poor woman with a baby at the beginning of the film). While the cartel try to kill Willy after sending him out of town and lie about giving Noodle a better life, they do actually pay off the debts of the other workers rather than leave them to rot as well, and Scrubbit and Bleacher let them go rather than just pocketing the money. Played for Laughs when the adult tenants of the boarding house are freed and Bleacher tells Larry he should keep working on his act because he at least thinks he's talented. Of course, Bleacher can't help but be menacing and Larry nervously responds with "You frighten me."
