Development for a second adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory began in 1991, which resulted in Warner Bros. providing the Dahl estate with total artistic control. Prior to Burton's involvement, directors such as Gary Ross, Rob Minkoff, Martin Scorsese, and Tom Shadyac had been involved, while actors Bill Murray, Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Adam Sandler, and many others, were either in discussion with or considered by the studio to play Wonka. Burton immediately brought regular collaborators Depp and Danny Elfman aboard. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory represents the first musical film directed by Burton and the first time since The Nightmare Before Christmas that Elfman contributed to a film score using written songs and his vocals.

Filming took place from June to December 2004 at Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom. Rather than using computer-generated environments, Burton primarily used built sets and practical effects, which he claimed was inspired by the book's emphasis on texture. Wonka's Chocolate Room was constructed on the 007 Stage at Pinewood, complete with a faux chocolate waterfall and river. Squirrels were trained from birth for Veruca Salt's elimination. Actor Deep Roy performed each Oompa-Loompa individually rather than one performance duplicated digitally. Burton shot the film simultaneously alongside the stop-motion animated film Corpse Bride, which he also directed.

Willy Wonka-themed chocolate bars were sold, and a Golden Ticket contest was launched as part of the film's marketing campaign. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory premiered on July 10, 2005, and was released in the United States on July 15 to positive critical reviews, who commended it for its visual appeal and dark tone. It was also a box office success,[6][7] grossing US$475 million and becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film worldwide in 2005. The film received a nomination for Best Costume Design at the 78th Academy Awards. It remains the highest-grossing film adaption based on a Roald Dahl novel as well as Tim Burton's second-highest-grossing film to date.

Plot

Charlie Bucket is a kind and loving boy who lives in poverty with his family near the Wonka Factory. The company's owner, Willy Wonka, has long closed his factory to the public due to problems concerning industrial espionage, which also caused all his employees, including Charlie's Grandpa Joe, to lose their jobs. Charlie's father, meanwhile, has more recently been laid off from his own job at a toothpaste factory, although he does not admit this to Charlie.

One day, Wonka announces a contest in which Golden Tickets have been placed in five random Wonka Bars worldwide, and the winners will receive a full tour of the factory as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate, while one will receive an additional prize at the end of the tour. Wonka's sales subsequently skyrocket, and the first four tickets are found by the gluttonous Augustus Gloop, the spoiled Veruca Salt, the arrogant Violet Beauregarde, and the ill-tempered Mike Teavee. Charlie tries twice to find a ticket, but both bars come up empty. After overhearing that the final ticket was found in Russia, Charlie finds a banknote and purchases a third Wonka Bar. The Russian ticket is revealed to be a forgery just as Charlie discovers the real ticket inside the wrapper. He receives monetary offers for the ticket, but the cashier warns him not to trade it regardless, and Charlie runs back home. At home, Charlie initially wants to trade the ticket for money for his family's betterment, but after a pep talk from Grandpa George, he decides to keep it and brings Grandpa Joe to accompany him on the tour.

Charlie and the other ticket holders are greeted outside the factory by Wonka, who then leads them into the facility. Individual character flaws cause the other four children to give in to temptation, resulting in their elimination from the tour while Wonka's new employees, the Oompa-Loompas, sing a song of morality after each. Meanwhile, Wonka reminisces on his troubled past and how his dentist father, Wilbur, strictly forbade him from consuming any candy. After sneaking a piece of candy, Wonka instantly became hooked and ran away from home to follow his dreams. When he returned, however, both his father and their house were gone.

After the tour, the four eliminated children leave the factory with an exaggerated characteristic or deformity related to their elimination while Charlie learns that Wonka, now approaching retirement, intended to find a worthy heir. Since Charlie was the least ill-behaved of the five, Wonka invites Charlie to come live and work in the factory with him, provided that he leave his family behind. Charlie declines, as his family is the most important thing in his life.

As Charlie and his family's life improve, Wonka becomes despondent, causing his company and sales to decline. He eventually turns to Charlie for advice, and he decides to help Wonka reconcile with his estranged father, Wilbur. During the reunion, Charlie notices newspaper clippings of Wonka's success which Wilbur collected, while Wonka realizes the value of family as he and Wilbur finally reconcile. Afterwards, Wonka allows Charlie and his family to move into the factory together.

Production

Development

Author Roald Dahl disapproved of the 1971 film adaptation. Warner Bros. and Brillstein-Grey Entertainment entered into discussions with the Dahl estate in 1991, hoping to purchase the rights to produce another film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The purchase was finalized in 1998,[8] with Dahl's widow, Felicity ("Liccy"), and daughter, Lucy, receiving total artistic control and final privilege on the choices of actors, directors and writers. The Dahl estate's subsequent protection of the source material was the main reason that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had languished in development hell since the 1990s.[9][10]

Ang Lee, Terry Gilliam, Anthony Minghella, and Spike Jonze were among the Dahl estate's preferred directors for the project.[11] Scott Frank was hired to write the screenplay in February 1999, after approaching Warner Bros. for the job.[10] Frank, a recent Oscar-nominee for the R-rated crime film Out of Sight, wanted to work on a film that his children could enjoy.[12][13][14] As an enthusiastic fan of the book, he intended to remain more faithful to Dahl's vision than the 1971 film had been.[10] Nicolas Cage was under discussions for Willy Wonka, but lost interest.[15] Gary Ross signed to direct in February 2000,[16] which resulted in Frank completing two drafts of the screenplay,[14] before leaving with Ross in September 2001.[17] Both Warner Bros. and the Dahl Estate wanted Frank to stay on the project, but he faced scheduling conflicts and contractual obligations with Minority Report (2002) and The Lookout (2007).[14]

Rob Minkoff entered negotiations to take the director's position in October 2001,[18] and Gwyn Lurie was hired to start from scratch on a new script in February 2002. Lurie said she would adapt the original book and ignore the 1971 film adaptation. Dahl's estate championed Lurie after being impressed with her work on another Dahl adaptation, a live-action adaptation of The BFG, for Paramount Pictures, which was never made (Paramount distributed the earlier 1971 film version of Charlie, and later sold the rights to Warner Bros.).[19] In April 2002, Martin Scorsese was involved with the film, albeit briefly, but opted to direct The Aviator instead.[15] Warner Bros. president Alan F. Horn wanted Tom Shadyac to direct Jim Carrey as Willy Wonka, believing the duo could make Charlie and the Chocolate Factory relevant to mainstream audiences, but Liccy Dahl opposed this.[9]

Pre-production

In May 2003, Warner Bros. announced that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would be one of their tentpole film releases for 2005.[15] Later that month, Tim Burton was hired to direct after receiving enthusiastic approval from the Dahl estate.[8] Burton compared the project's languishing development to Batman (1989), which he directed, in how there had been varied creative efforts with both films. He said, "Scott Frank's version was the best, probably the clearest, and the most interesting, but they had abandoned that."[20] Liccy Dahl commented that Burton was the first and only director the estate was happy with. He had previously produced another of the author's adaptations with James and the Giant Peach (1996), and, like Roald Dahl, disliked the 1971 film because it strayed from the book's storyline.[9]

As a child, Dahl was the author who I connected to the most. He got the idea of writing a mixture of light and darkness, and not speaking down to kids, and the kind of politically incorrect humor that kids get. I've always liked that, and it's shaped everything I've felt that I've done.

—Tim Burton[20]

During pre-production, Burton visited Dahl's former home in the Buckinghamshire village of Great Missenden. Liccy Dahl remembers Burton entering Dahl's famed writing shed and saying, "This is the Buckets' house!" and thinking to herself, "Thank God, somebody gets it." Liccy also showed Burton the original handwritten manuscripts, which Burton discovered were more politically incorrect than the published book. The manuscripts included a child named Herpes, after the sexually transmitted disease.[20]

Lurie's script received a rewrite by Pamela Pettler, who worked with Burton on Corpse Bride, but the director hired Big Fish screenwriter John August in December 2003 to start from scratch.[15] Both August and Burton were fans of the book since their childhoods.[20] August first read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when he was eight years old, and subsequently sent Dahl a fan letter. He did not see the 1971 film prior to his hiring, and when asking Burton if he should go back to watch it, August recalled "Tim almost leaped across the table and told me not to."[4] In terms of the screenwriting process, August said "I literally went through the book with a highlighter and I would save even like little bits of scene description as much as I could, just so it would be as Roald Dahl-y as possible."[21] Charlie and the Chocolate Factory took three and a half weeks to write.[22] Burton and August incorporated many parts of the book that were absent from the 1971 film adaptation, including the construction of the Indian Prince's chocolate palace, the inclusion of Charlie's father, and Veruca Salt's attack by squirrels.

Despite their intention to remain close to the source material, Burton and August diverged from the book to explore themes of family, and in doing so unearthed Willy Wonka's origin. "We added new elements that aren't in the book," explained Burton, "but I always felt comfortable that everything was in the spirit of the book."[20] In exploring Wonka's upbringing, Burton and August created the character of Dr. Wilbur Wonka, Willy's domineering father. Burton thought the paternal character would help explain Willy Wonka himself and that otherwise he would be "just a weird guy".[4] This element of the film was also personal for Burton. In 2002, Burton, who was somewhat estranged from his own parents, visited his dying mother in Lake Tahoe and discovered she had framed posters of all his films on her walls;[23] this mirroring a scene towards the end of Charlie where it's revealed Dr. Wonka has been following his son's career with framed newspaper articles on the walls.[24][25] Burton would later reflect, "I think all artistic endeavors are a way to resolve things, a form of therapy, a fantasy of resolving something. That's why I chose to resolve it that way."[20] The Dahl estate was conflicted about the addition of Wilbur Wonka but ultimately decided to support Burton's vision.[11]

Warner Bros. and the director held differences over the characterizations of Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka. The studio wanted to entirely delete Mr. Bucket and make Willy Wonka the idyllic father figure Charlie had longed for his entire life. Burton believed that Wonka would not be a good father, finding the character similar to a recluse.[26] Burton said, "In some ways, he's more screwed up than the kids." Warner Bros. also wanted Charlie to be a whiz kid, but Burton resisted the characterization. He wanted Charlie to be an average child who would be in the background and not get in trouble.[20]

Casting

Prior to Burton's involvement, Warner Bros. considered or discussed Willy Wonka with Bill Murray, Christopher Walken, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Mike Myers, Ben Stiller, Leslie Nielsen, three members of Monty Python (John Cleese, Eric Idle, and Michael Palin), as well as Patrick Stewart, and Adam Sandler.[27][28][29][30][31][32] Dustin Hoffman and Marilyn Manson reportedly sought the role as well.[28][33] Pitt's production company, Plan B Entertainment, however, stayed on to co-finance the film with Warner Bros.[9] Michael Jackson actively sought the role and secretly recorded an original soundtrack for the film at a small studio in Los Angeles. Warner Bros. did not want Jackson for the role, claiming that it would not be marketable for Jackson to be the leading role in a family film. However, they "went nuts" over the soundtrack and offered to acquire the songs in addition to a small role elsewhere in the film. Jackson was upset and shelved the songs.[34]

Johnny Depp was the only actor Burton considered for the role,[20] although Dwayne Johnson was Burton's second choice in case Depp was unavailable.[35] This marked the first time Burton did not face pushback from the studio for wanting to cast Depp, as the blockbuster success of Pirates of the Caribbean had Warner Bros. enthused about Depp being in the leading role.[23] It was Depp's intention to portray the character in a completely different way than Gene Wilder did in the 1971 film adaptation.[36] Depp and Burton derived their Willy Wonka from children's television show hosts such as Bob Keeshan from Captain Kangaroo, Fred Rogers, and Al Lewis from The Uncle Al Show, and Depp also took inspiration from various game show hosts.[37] Burton recalled from his childhood that the characters were bizarre but left lasting impressions, saying "I used to watch a guy with a sheriff's hat, or a guy who wore a weird leisure suit, or Captain Kangaroo, this guy had a weird haircut and a mustache and sideburns. And you think back and go, 'What the fuck was that?' But they left a strong impression on you."[20] Depp based Wonka's exaggerated bob cut and sunglasses on Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour.[38] According to Depp, "the hair I imagined as a kind of Prince Valiant do, high bangs and a bob, extreme and very unflattering but something that Wonka probably thinks is cool because he's been locked away for such a long time and doesn't know any better, like the outdated slang he uses."[39] Depp also based Wonka's unique voice on how he imagined George W. Bush sounding like while high on drugs.[40]

The casting calls for Charlie Bucket, Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, and Mike Teavee took place in the United States and United Kingdom, while Augustus Gloop's casting took place in Germany. Burton said he sought actors "who had something of the character in them", and found Mike Teavee the hardest character to cast.[20] Burton was having trouble casting Charlie, until Depp, who had worked with Freddie Highmore on Finding Neverland, suggested Highmore for the part. Highmore had already read the book before, but decided to read it once more prior to auditioning.[41] The actor did not see the original film adaptation, and chose not to see it until after Burton's production, so his portrayal would not be influenced.[42] Before Adam Godley was officially cast as Mr. Teavee, Tim Allen, Ray Romano, and Bob Saget were considered for the role.[43] Gregory Peck was reportedly considered for the role of Grandpa Joe but died before being able to accept the role.[44]

Design

 
1968's Danger: Diabolik (pictured) served as a visual influence on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Tim Burton requested that production designer Alex McDowell watch the film prior to the start of production.[20]

Production designer Alex McDowell described Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's visual aesthetic as "a collision between psychedelic, inflatable pop art and 1960s Russian-American space race".[45] Tim Burton wanted the setting of the film to be ambiguous in an effort to give the film a fable-like quality similar to the book.[46] McDowell scouted several industrial mill towns in Northern England but came to the conclusion that a real place would not look stylized enough for Burton. "It was back to the Pinewood backlot to start building something that looked grim, wet and depressing on the outside but transitioned believably into a magical kingdom inside."[47] The town, whose design was shaped by the black and white urban photography of Bill Brandt, as well as Pittsburgh and Northern England, is arranged like a medieval village, with Wonka's estate on top and the Bucket shack below. As per the film's ambiguous setting, the cars drive down the middle of the roads.[9] The backlot constructed at Pinewood Studios consisted of the factory courtyard, several streets, nearly fifty townhomes, twenty shops, and the Bucket shack. This town was coincidentally constructed on the same backlot Burton had used for Gotham City in 1989's Batman.[20] The Bucket home was inspired by Roald Dahl's famed writing hut, while the exterior of Wonka's factory was based on fascist architecture, with Burton remarking "for Wonka's factory, we kind of wanted a building with a kind of Hoover Dam-like optimism and strength, but then once it gets dark it looks slightly foreboding."[20]

For the set pieces in Wonka's factory, Burton favored using 360 degree enclosed sets because it offered a complete environment and got rid of visitors.[20] The Inventing Room utilized scrap from the aeronautic industry, defunct confectionary machinery, and old car parts.[47] McDowell compared the design of the Nut Room to that of a hospital with its plastic finish and sterile colors.[48] The crew came up with the layout of the Nut Room fairly quickly, while the color scheme took more time to develop.[20] The Nut Room had to be constructed at an elevation to account for the hole Veruca Salt would have to fall down.[47] The all-white design of the TV Room was adapted directly from the book, though 2001: A Space Odyssey and THX 1138 also served as inspirations.[49][20] The designs of each set would influence the style of music for the Oompa-Loompa songs.[50]

 
McDowell's design for the Chocolate Room set featured a practical 192,000-gallon faux chocolate river.

Willy Wonka's Chocolate Room was built on Pinewood Studios' 007 Stage, one of the largest soundstages in the world. Sections of artificial grass were laid upon blocks of polystyrene foam that formed the shape of the landscape.[51] For the chocolate river, McDowell insisted on having the river look edible, saying "in the first film, it's so distasteful."[9] According to Tim Burton, "the important thing for me was that we wanted to give the chocolate river a really chocolatey feel, give it a weight, not just brown water. That's why we tried to use a real chocolate substitute, to give it a movement and texture."[20] Joss Williams oversaw the creation of a faux chocolate concoction, taking months to create a non-toxic edible substance with the right consistency.[52] The final mixture, developed by a UK-based chemical company called Vickers,[53] was a mix of water and a thickening agent known as Natrosol,[54] with food dye used to achieve the brown coloring.[39] The river was 270 feet long, six feet deep, and consisted of 192,000 gallons of faux chocolate while 30,000 gallons of the same material made up the waterfall.[45] Wonka's boat, used by the characters to travel down the chocolate river, took 20 weeks to build and incorporated 54 animatronic Oompa-Loompas, along with its own internal rowing mechanism.[55]

Colleen Atwood, who served as the costume designer on every live-action Tim Burton film from 1994's Ed Wood to 2019's Dumbo, was set to reprise her position on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but ultimately declined citing "personal reasons".[56] Burton then selected Italian costume designer Gabriella Pescucci. Ten different jackets and overcoats were designed to find the right look for Willy Wonka. Pescucci described the film's wardrobe as "contemporary, but with old world styling".[39][n 1] Wonka's latex gloves, which Burton added as a symbol of his detachment from society, were provided by a London-based latex fetish BDSM clothing company.[20][58]

Filming

Principal photography for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory started on June 21, 2004.[15] While the main set pieces were filmed on soundstages at Pinewood Studios in England, the crew also shot on several locations across the country, with the toothpaste factory filmed at a CompAir factory in High Wycombe,[59] and Veruca Salt's manor filmed at Hatfield House for the interior shots[60] and Wrotham Park for the exterior.[61] Various establishing shots were filmed in Germany,[62] Yemen,[63] and the United States.[64] Tim Burton shot Charlie and the Chocolate Factory simultaneously alongside Corpse Bride. Composer Danny Elfman, screenwriter John August, and production designer Alex McDowell served in the same position for both movies. Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Deep Roy, and Christopher Lee provided their vocals to Corpse Bride during the filming of Charlie.[26]

 
A miniature town was constructed for exterior shots of the town and factory, as Tim Burton considered buildings difficult to achieve with CGI.[65]

Tim Burton avoided using too many digital effects to reflect the original book's emphasis on texture and because he wanted the younger actors to feel as if they were working in a realistic environment.[66] As a result, forced perspective techniques, oversized props and scale models were used to avoid computer-generated imagery (CGI) wherever possible.[20] Matte paintings were used during the Loompaland and Indian palace sequences.[67] However, several scenes were deemed impossible to achieve realistically without CGI. The Moving Picture Company was tasked with creating entire CG environments for sequences such as the boat ride and the glass elevator tour.[68] A practical method was initially used for Violet Beauregarde's inflation; however, Burton was not satisfied by the effects and decided the scene would be accomplished with CGI.[69]

Deep Roy was cast to play the Oompa-Loompas based on his previous collaborations with Burton on Planet of the Apes and Big Fish. The actor was able to play various Oompa-Loompas using split screen photography, digital and front projection effects.[4] "Tim told me that the Oompa-Loompas were strictly programmed, like robots—all they do is work, work, work," Roy commented. "So when it comes time to dance, they're like a regiment; they do the same steps."[70] Roy, who played a total of 165 individual Oompa-Loompas in the film, experienced an especially laborious regimen during production. He was required to regularly practice Pilates with a personal trainer and follow a diet in order for his appearance to remain unchanged during filming. With no prior professional dancing experience, each musical number involving Roy took a month to rehearse and six months in total to film.[71][72] In referencing his workload during production, Burton called Roy the "hardest-working man in show biz".[73]

For Veruca Salt's demise at the hands of a hundred squirrels, Burton wanted the animals to be real. He consulted with the film's animal trainer, Mike Alexander, to determine which parts of the sequence would be achievable with live squirrels.[20] Forty rescue squirrels were trained over 19 weeks, the first three of which were spent making the animals comfortable with their crates and their trainers.[74] The squirrels were then given props and taught how to sit upon a bar stool, tap and then open a walnut, and deposit its meat onto a conveyor belt.[9] According to Alexander, the smartest squirrels were assigned to shell, as those who had difficulty with the regiment were placed in a separate group that ran across the floor and attacked Veruca's stunt double.[39] For the shots where the rodents would be in close interaction with Veruca, CG squirrels designed by Framestore CFC were implemented. Several shots called for a hundred animated squirrels, while close-up models required five million computer-generated hairs to look realistic.[68] Animatronic squirrels were also used in the background of shots where a live squirrel would be performing the shelling routine.[39]

Several challenges emerged during filming. The delicate landscape of the Chocolate Room posed a challenge for the crew, with cinematographer Philippe Rousselot recalling that "the set was very impractical for shooting because it was all curves and extraordinarily fragile—as soon as you stepped onto the grass, you destroyed it." Rousselot instead utilized a cable-suspended camera system known as Cablecam.[54] On one occasion, the camera was improperly secured to the system and subsequently plunged into the faux chocolate river, destroying the $540,000 camera and delaying production.[75] Another hurdle during filming was the existence of British Equity rules, which state that children can only work four and a half hours a day.[26] Filming for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory took six months, ending in December 2004. Despite these challenges, Burton claimed production ended ahead of schedule.[20]

Danny Elfman, similar to Tim Burton, had no emotional attachment to 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.[83] According to Elfman, "I had no trouble divorcing myself from those [original] songs. I've dealt with that a couple of times. You know you're dealing with something that's going to make a lot of people angry, and you just can't think about it."[84] Because the Oompa-Loompa musical numbers would require complex choreography and be shot on set, Elfman had to compose those songs before filming began. Elfman also composed the songs simultaneously alongside the music from Corpse Bride.[85] It was decided at an early stage that Elfman would be providing the vocals for all the Oompa-Loompas, a decision justified by the identical nature of the Oompa-Loompas, with pitch changes and modulations to represent different singers.[83][86] Charlie and the Chocolate Factory marks the first time since 1993's The Nightmare Before Christmas that Elfman contributed to a film score using written songs and his vocals.[86]

The first song composed was "Augustus Gloop", being done as a Bollywood spectacle per Deep Roy's suggestion.[70] Elfman recounted, "my original approach was to find a style of music and apply that to all the songs. Tim was like, 'No, no, no, no, no... we're going to completely mix it up!' I said, 'Great, let's go.'"[83] Per Burton's suggestion, the Oompa-Loompa songs would each reflect a different style of music: "Violet Beauregarde" is 1970s funk, "Veruca Salt" is 1960s bubblegum and psychedelic pop, and "Mike Teavee" is a tribute to late-1970s hard rock, particularly Queen, and early 1980s hair bands.[86][87] All four songs utilize lyrics direct from Roald Dahl's book; as such, the lyrics are credited to Dahl.[39] Rather than using the book's songs in their entirety, Elfman selected specific verses, as he believed using them unabridged would have made each song ten minutes long. "Violet Beauregarde" was the only song that required a partial rewrite, as the song in the book was about a girl who chewed gum rather than Violet Beauregarde herself.[85] The only other song to require vocal performances was "Wonka's Welcome Song", which was written in collaboration with the film's screenwriter John August.[88]

In addition to the Oompa-Loompa songs, Elfman created an entire underscore for the film being based around three primary themes: a gentle family theme for the Buckets, generally set in upper woodwinds; a mystical, string-driven waltz for Willy Wonka; and a hyper-upbeat factory theme for full orchestra, Elfman's homemade synthesizer samples and the diminutive chanting voices of the Oompa-Loompas.[39] Elfman and Burton differed on their ideas for the main title music, as Elfman imagined something more dreamy while Burton wanted something energetic.[85] Richard Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra plays during a sequence in the film as a direct reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey.[89] When introducing himself to the golden ticket winners, Wonka quotes "Good Morning Starshine" from the 1967 musical Hair.[90]

The original motion picture soundtrack was released on July 12, 2005, by Warner Sunset Records.[91] Doug Adams of Film Score Monthly said of the Oompa-Loompa songs: "Each piece includes something the others don't, rhythms or hooks or harmonies that in Elfman's inimitable way seem like deconstructions and wholly original concepts at the same time."[77] Filmtracks.com called the soundtrack a "rhythmically driven affair" because of the mechanical nature of the factory, a departure from Elfman's penchant for quieter heartbreaking themes.[78] "Wonka's Welcome Song" received a Grammy nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media.[92] Elfman would later cite Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as being one of the most fun projects he had been involved with.[84]

In 2010, thirteen previously unreleased tracks were included as part of the Danny Elfman & Tim Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box. In addition to those tracks, instrumentals of "Wonka's Welcome Song" and the Oompa-Loompa songs were included, as well as several demos.[93]

Release

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had its premiere at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre on July 10, 2005, where money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation was raised.[94] The film was released in the United States on July 15, 2005, in 3,770 theaters,[95] including IMAX theaters.[96] In the United Kingdom, the premiere was held on July 17 at Leicester Square, only ten days after the July 7 London bombings.[97] It was released nationwide on July 29 in 531 theaters.[98]

The release of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory rekindled public interest in Roald Dahl's 1964 book, which appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list from July 3 to October 23, 2005.[99][100] Burton's film also reignited interest in the 1971 film adaptation.[101] According to Michael Böllner, who portrayed Augustus Gloop in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, the first adaptation was largely unheard of in Germany until Burton's version was released.[102]

Early in the development of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in February 2000, Warner Bros. announced their intention of marketing the film with a Broadway theatre musical after release.[16] The studio reiterated their interest in May 2003;[8] however, the idea was postponed by the time filming began in June 2004.[9] The teaser poster for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was released in November 2004, with the teaser trailer premiering the following month in front of showings of The Polar Express.[103][104] The longer theatrical trailer was made available in May 2005 exclusively via Moviefone before its theatrical debut alongside screenings of Madagascar.[105]

The main tie-in for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory focused on the Willy Wonka Candy Company, a division of Nestlé. A small range of Wonka Bars were launched, utilizing their prominence in the film.[106] Echoing the central storyline of the film, Wonka candies introduced their own Golden Ticket contest in Wonka products, including Wonka Bars, Donutz, Laffy Taffy, Nerds, and SweeTarts. The contest's prizes included a trip to Europe, a tour of an animation studio, a trip to a sports camp, a shopping spree, and $10,000 cash.[107] 60 million packages of candy participated in the sweepstakes.[108] The contest officially began on June 28 following its announcement on the Today Show, and the first winners were announced on July 8.[109] In addition to Nestlé, Hostess introduced Chocolicious WonkaCakes, and Wendy's released Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-themed kids' meal toys. Other partners included Carlson, Penguin Young Readers, Borders, Barnes & Noble, and American Express.[108]

In line with the film's theatrical release in the United States, an eponymous tie-in video game was released on the Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and Microsoft Windows platforms. The film's cast provided their voices for the game, with the sole exception of Johnny Depp who was replaced by James Arnold Taylor. The game received mostly negative reviews from critics, although Winifred Phillips's score received some praise.[110][111]

Box office

Although it opened the same day as Wedding Crashers and within a week of Fantastic Four, the film's primary competition for its opening weekend was considered to be the sixth installment in the Harry Potter book series.[112] Charlie and the Chocolate Factory earned $56,178,450 in its opening weekend in the United States,[5] the fifth-highest opening-weekend gross for 2005, and remained the highest-grossing film for two weeks.[113] $2.2 million of the opening weekend gross was from 65 IMAX theaters.[114] At the time of release, the film's opening earnings marked Depp's highest to date, surpassing Pirates of the Caribbean's $46,630,690 opening.[115] Charlie also set a record for the best-performing opening in July for a PG-rated film.[116] According to studio exit polling conducted during its opening weekend, 54 percent of the film's audience was under the age of 18 and the majority was female.[114]

 
A limited set of Wonka Bars were released as part of the film's marketing campaign.

Charlie's debut in the United Kingdom "smashed even the most optimistic industry projections", taking in $37.3 million.[117] The film performed well in France, Spain, Australia, and Mexico. Its performance in Germany was considered less than expected.[118] By the end of its theatrical run, the film had grossed $206,459,076 in the United States and $268,509,687 in foreign countries, coming to a worldwide total of $474,968,763.[113]

The film was the 58th-highest-grossing film of all time when released.[5] Worldwide, the film was the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2005, while it was the seventh-highest in the United States[113] and fourth-highest in the United Kingdom.[119] Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remains the sixteenth-highest-grossing musical film of all time and Tim Burton's second-highest-grossing, behind only 2010's Alice in Wonderland.[120] It is also the eighth-highest-grossing film of Johnny Depp's career.[121] As of 2021, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remains the only "hit" Roald Dahl adaptation, following the underperformances of Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox and Steven Spielberg's The BFG. Forbes hypothesized that the film's success could be attributed to Depp and Burton being at the height of their popularity in 2005.[122]

Home media

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was released on VHS and DVD on November 8, 2005.[123] The single-disc version of the film included only two special features: an Oompa-Loompa dance tutorial and "Becoming Oompa-Loompa", which documented Deep Roy's experience on the production. A two-disc edition was also released which included six more behind the scenes featurettes: "Chocolate Dreams", exploring the writing and Tim Burton's vision for the film; "Different Faces, Different Flavors", exploring the characters; "Designer Chocolate", detailing the production design and costumes; "Sweet Sounds", how Danny Elfman created the Oompa-Loompa songs; "Under the Wrapper", detailing the film's practical and digital effects; and "Attack of the Squirrels", exploring how real squirrels were utilized for Veruca Salt's demise.[124] The two-disc edition also contained several games and DVD-Rom features.[125][126] The film's DVD sales underperformed,[127] reaching $16 million by 2010.[128]

For the film's HD DVD release in October 2006, all the behind the scenes featurettes from the two-disc edition were included. The HD DVD release also introduced an audio commentary by Burton, a music-only audio track, a "Club Reel", and an in-movie experience titled "Television Chocolate", with trivia and interviews overlayed onto the screen during the film.[124] A Blu-ray release followed in October 2011, followed by a 10th anniversary Blu-ray release in March 2015. Both sets featured the same bonus features as the HD DVD, although the anniversary edition included a personal retrospective by Burton and a photo book.[129]

Reception

Critical response

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 83% of 228 reviews are positive, and the average rating is 7.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Closer to the source material than 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is for people who like their Chocolate visually appealing and dark."[130] According to Metacritic, which calculated a weighted average score of 72 out of 100 from 40 critic reviews, the film received "generally favorable reviews".[131] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.[132]

A. O. Scott of The New York Times gave a positive review, writing "in spite of relapses and imperfections, a few of them serious, Mr. Burton's movie succeeds in doing what far too few films aimed primarily at children even know how to attempt anymore, which is to feed—even to glut—the youthful appetite for aesthetic surprise." Scott also praised Alex McDowell's set design, comparing the look of the factory to something out of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.[133] Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle found Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Burton's "best work in years. If all the laughs come from Depp, who gives Willy the mannerisms of a classic Hollywood diva, the film's heart comes from Highmore, a gifted young performer whose performance is sincere, deep and unforced in a way that's rare in a child actor."[134] Peter Travers wrote in Rolling Stone magazine that "Depp's deliciously demented take on Willy Wonka demands to be seen. Depp goes deeper to find the bruises on Wonka's secret heart than what Gene Wilder did. Depp and Burton may fly too high on the vapors of pure imagination, but it's hard to not get hooked on something this tasty. And how about that army of Oompa-Loompas, all played by Deep Roy, in musical numbers that appear to have been choreographed by Busby Berkeley on crack."[135]

Depp's performance as Willy Wonka received widespread comparisons to Michael Jackson.[136] Roger Ebert was among the critics who made such comparisons, citing Depp's performance as the weak spot in an "otherwise mostly delightful" film and noting "[Willy Wonka's] reclusive lifestyle, the fetishes of wardrobe and accessories, the elaborate playground built by an adult for the child inside" as parallels between the two.[137] Depp was surprised by the comparisons and stated that he did not base his performance on Jackson.[138] Burton dismissed the comparisons and stated that, unlike Jackson, Depp's iteration of the character does not like children.[139] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post criticized Depp's acting: "The cumulative effect isn't pretty. Nor is it kooky, funny, eccentric or even mildly interesting. Indeed, throughout his fey, simpering performance, Depp seems to be straining so hard for weirdness that the entire enterprise begins to feel like those excruciating occasions when your parents tried to be hip."[140] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly praised Depp's performance, writing "he maintains the paradox, the mystery, of Willy Wonka: a misanthrope who has little patience for children, who can't even utter the word 'parents' without gagging, yet who invents for those same kids the purest and most luscious candies out of the sugar dream of his imagination."[141] Depp received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance.[142]

Gene Wilder's reaction

In 2004, during on-set interviews while filming, Burton called the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory "sappy", adding, "A lot of people are huge fans of the movie and hold it in awe. I wasn't one of them."[9][143] Depp paid homage to Gene Wilder, who portrayed Willy Wonka in the first adaptation. Depp considered Wilder's performance "brilliant but subtle". He said to have had "Big shoes [to fill], though. Gene Wilder did such an awesome job in that film in the early '70s."[9][144] While Wilder was appreciative towards Depp's comments, he was uncharacteristically critical of Burton's production overall stating, "It's just some people sitting around thinking 'How can we make some more money?' Why else would you remake Willy Wonka? I don't see the point of going back and doing it all over again."[145][146][147] The filmmakers emphasized that the 2005 production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an adaptation of the 1964 book rather than a remake of the 1971 film. Depp found Wilder's remarks "disappointing", although "I can understand where he's coming from, I guess."[4] Wilder later praised Depp's casting, saying "If I were going to cast the movie, I would cast Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka because I think he is wonderful. Mysterious—always—and magical."[148]

In 2013, Wilder made further comments calling Burton's film an "insult". He continued, "It's probably Warner Brothers' insult, I think. I like Warner Brothers for other reasons, but to do that with Johnny Depp, who I think is a good actor and I like him. But I don't care for that director [Burton] and he's a talented man, but I don't care for him for doing stuff like he did."[147]

Legacy

In the years following its release, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been described as "popular but divisive",[149] "love it or hate it",[150] and "everlastingly polarizing".[151] Entertainment Weekly and Variety, respectively, ranked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as Tim Burton's third and fourth-best film.[152][153] Conversely, Time Out named it the worst adaptation of a Roald Dahl book, elaborating "there's something so horribly garish about Burton's film that you can't help feeling a little queasy afterwards."[154] Although the 1971 film adaptation is considered the more beloved version, Burton's film is regarded as more faithful to Dahl's text.[155][156][157]

Guy Lodge of The Guardian claimed that the film's reputation was hurt by Depp's "off-puttingly fey, chilly spin on Wonka", even though "Burton's film handily trumps [the 1971 adaptation] for cinematic verve and vibrancy."[158] Korey Coleman of Double Toasted echoed Lodge's sentiments about Depp's performance, calling it "unsettling" and "off-putting". Despite not caring for the overall film, Coleman praised Burton for applying his own vision to the story rather than imitating the 1971 adaptation.[159] In a series reflecting on Burton's filmography, Griffin Newman of Blank Check praised the film, noting that it had a comic energy that was lacking in Burton's subsequent films such as Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows.[160]

Comic Book Resources noted that the film is popular among those who grew up in the 2000s.[161] In 2020, a cosplayer emulating Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka went viral on TikTok, with Nylon dubbing him "sexy Willy Wonka".[162][163] During the Depp v. Heard trial, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of the most viewed films on Netflix.[164] The film was mentioned in the courtroom by Depp's attorney, who accused a psychiatrist brought in by Amber Heard's lawyers of using Depp's film portrayals to make official diagnoses about the actor. The doctor's "bizarre" reaction to the inquiry led to the interaction going viral.[165][166][167]

accompany him on the tour Charlie and the other ticket holders are greeted outside the factory by Wonka who then leads them into the facility Individual character flaws cause the other four children

Essell and David Morris Nitin Ganatra and Shelley Conn appear as Prince and Princess Pondicherry Geoffrey Holder narrates the film ProductionDevelopment Author Roald Dahl disapproved of the 1971 film adaptation Warner Bros and Brillstein Grey Entertainment entered into discussions with the Dahl estate in 1991 hoping to purchase the rights to produce another film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The purchase was finalized in 1998 8 with Dahl s widow Felicity Liccy and daughter Lucy receiving total artistic control and final privilege on the choices of actors directors and writers The Dahl estate s subsequent protection of the source material was the main reason that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had languished in development hell since the 1990s 9 10 Ang Lee Terry Gilliam Anthony Minghella and Spike Jonze were among the Dahl estate s preferred directors for the project 11 Scott Frank was hired to write the screenplay in February 1999 after approaching Warner Bros for the job 10 Frank a recent Oscar nominee for the R rated crime film Out of Sight wanted to work on a film that his children could enjoy 12 13 14 As an enthusiastic fan of the book he intended to remain more faithful to Dahl s vision than the 1971 film had been 10 Nicolas Cage was under discussions for Willy Wonka but lost interest 15 Gary Ross signed to direct in February 2000 16 which resulted in Frank completing two drafts of the screenplay 14 before leaving with Ross in September 2001 17 Both Warner Bros and the Dahl Estate wanted Frank to stay on the project but he faced scheduling conflicts and contractual obligations with Minority Report 2002 and The Lookout 2007 14 Rob Minkoff entered negotiations to take the director s position in October 2001 18 and Gwyn Lurie was hired to start from scratch on a new script in February 2002 Lurie said she would adapt the original book and ignore the 1971 film adaptation Dahl s estate championed Lurie after being impressed with her work on another Dahl adaptation a live action adaptation of The BFG for Paramount Pictures which was never made Paramount distributed the earlier 1971 film version of Charlie and later sold the rights to Warner Bros 19 In April 2002 Martin Scorsese was involved with the film albeit briefly but opted to direct The Aviator instead 15 Warner Bros president Alan F Horn wanted Tom Shadyac to direct Jim Carrey as Willy Wonka believing the duo could make Charlie and the Chocolate Factory relevant to mainstream audiences but Liccy Dahl opposed this 9 Pre production In May 2003 Warner Bros announced that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would be one of their tentpole film releases for 2005 15 Later that month Tim Burton was hired to direct after receiving enthusiastic approval from the Dahl estate 8 Burton compared the project s languishing development to Batman 1989 which he directed in how there had been varied creative efforts with both films He said Scott Frank s version was the best probably the clearest and the most interesting but they had abandoned that 20 Liccy Dahl commented that Burton was the first and only director the estate was happy with He had previously produced another of the author s adaptations with James and the Giant Peach 1996 and like Roald Dahl disliked the 1971 film because it strayed from the book s storyline 9 As a child Dahl was the author who I connected to the most He got the idea of writing a mixture of light and darkness and not speaking down to kids and the kind of politically incorrect humor that kids get I ve always liked that and it s shaped everything I ve felt that I ve done Tim Burton 20 During pre production Burton visited Dahl s former home in the Buckinghamshire village of Great Missenden Liccy Dahl remembers Burton entering Dahl s famed writing shed and saying This is the Buckets house and thinking to herself Thank God somebody gets it Liccy also showed Burton the original handwritten manuscripts which Burton discovered were more politically incorrect than the published book The manuscripts included a child named Herpes after the sexually transmitted disease 20 Lurie s script received a rewrite by Pamela Pettler who worked with Burton on Corpse Bride but the director hired Big Fish screenwriter John August in December 2003 to start from scratch 15 Both August and Burton were fans of the book since their childhoods 20 August first read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when he was eight years old and subsequently sent Dahl a fan letter He did not see the 1971 film prior to his hiring and when asking Burton if he should go back to watch it August recalled Tim almost leaped across the table and told me not to 4 In terms of the screenwriting process August said I literally went through the book with a highlighter and I would save even like little bits of scene description as much as I could just so it would be as Roald Dahl y as possible 21 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory took three and a half weeks to write 22 Burton and August incorporated many parts of the book that were absent from the 1971 film adaptation including the construction of the Indian Prince s chocolate palace the inclusion of Charlie s father and Veruca Salt s attack by squirrels Despite their intention to remain close to the source material Burton and August diverged from the book to explore themes of family and in doing so unearthed Willy Wonka s origin We added new elements that aren t in the book explained Burton but I always felt comfortable that everything was in the spirit of the book 20 In exploring Wonka s upbringing Burton and August created the character of Dr Wilbur Wonka Willy s domineering father Burton thought the paternal character would help explain Willy Wonka himself and that otherwise he would be just a weird guy 4 This element of the film was also personal for Burton In 2002 Burton who was somewhat estranged from his own parents visited his dying mother in Lake Tahoe and discovered she had framed posters of all his films on her walls 23 this mirroring a scene towards the end of Charlie where it s revealed Dr Wonka has been following his son s career with framed newspaper articles on the walls 24 25 Burton would later reflect I think all artistic endeavors are a way to resolve things a form of therapy a fantasy of resolving something That s why I chose to resolve it that way 20 The Dahl estate was conflicted about the addition of Wilbur Wonka but ultimately decided to support Burton s vision 11 Warner Bros and the director held differences over the characterizations of Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka The studio wanted to entirely delete Mr Bucket and make Willy Wonka the idyllic father figure Charlie had longed for his entire life Burton believed that Wonka would not be a good father finding the character similar to a recluse 26 Burton said In some ways he s more screwed up than the kids Warner Bros also wanted Charlie to be a whiz kid but Burton resisted the characterization He wanted Charlie to be an average child who would be in the background and not get in trouble 20 Casting Prior to Burton s involvement Warner Bros considered or discussed Willy Wonka with Bill Murray Christopher Walken Steve Martin Robin Williams Nicolas Cage Jim Carrey Michael Keaton Robert De Niro Brad Pitt Will Smith Mike Myers Ben Stiller Leslie Nielsen three members of Monty Python John Cleese Eric Idle and Michael Palin as well as Patrick Stewart and Adam Sandler 27 28 29 30 31 32 Dustin Hoffman and Marilyn Manson reportedly sought the role as well 28 33 Pitt s production company Plan B Entertainment however stayed on to co finance the film with Warner Bros 9 Michael Jackson actively sought the role and secretly recorded an original soundtrack for the film at a small studio in Los Angeles Warner Bros did not want Jackson for the role claiming that it would not be marketable for Jackson to be the leading role in a family film However they went nuts over the soundtrack and offered to acquire the songs in addition to a small role elsewhere in the film Jackson was upset and shelved the songs 34 Johnny Depp was the only actor Burton considered for the role 20 although Dwayne Johnson was Burton s second choice in case Depp was unavailable 35 This marked the first time Burton did not face pushback from the studio for wanting to cast Depp as the blockbuster success of Pirates of the Caribbean had Warner Bros enthused about Depp being in the leading role 23 It was Depp s intention to portray the character in a completely different way than Gene Wilder did in the 1971 film adaptation 36 Depp and Burton derived their Willy Wonka from children s television show hosts such as Bob Keeshan from Captain Kangaroo Fred Rogers and Al Lewis from The Uncle Al Show and Depp also took inspiration from various game show hosts 37 Burton recalled from his childhood that the characters were bizarre but left lasting impressions saying I used to watch a guy with a sheriff s hat or a guy who wore a weird leisure suit or Captain Kangaroo this guy had a weird haircut and a mustache and sideburns And you think back and go What the fuck was that But they left a strong impression on you 20 Depp based Wonka s exaggerated bob cut and sunglasses on Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour 38 According to Depp the hair I imagined as a kind of Prince Valiant do high bangs and a bob extreme and very unflattering but something that Wonka probably thinks is cool because he s been locked away for such a long time and doesn t know any better like the outdated slang he uses 39 Depp also based Wonka s unique voice on how he imagined George W Bush sounding like while high on drugs 40 The casting calls for Charlie Bucket Violet Beauregarde Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee took place in the United States and United Kingdom while Augustus Gloop s casting took place in Germany Burton said he sought actors who had something of the character in them and found Mike Teavee the hardest character to cast 20 Burton was having trouble casting Charlie until Depp who had worked with Freddie Highmore on Finding Neverland suggested Highmore for the part Highmore had already read the book before but decided to read it once more prior to auditioning 41 The actor did not see the original film adaptation and chose not to see it until after Burton s production so his portrayal would not be influenced 42 Before Adam Godley was officially cast as Mr Teavee Tim Allen Ray Romano and Bob Saget were considered for the role 43 Gregory Peck was reportedly considered for the role of Grandpa Joe but died before being able to accept the role 44 Design 1968 s Danger Diabolik pictured served as a visual influence on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Tim Burton requested that production designer Alex McDowell watch the film prior to the start of production 20 Production designer Alex McDowell described Charlie and the Chocolate Factory s visual aesthetic as a collision between psychedelic inflatable pop art and 1960s Russian American space race 45 Tim Burton wanted the setting of the film to be ambiguous in an effort to give the film a fable like quality similar to the book 46 McDowell scouted several industrial mill towns in Northern England but came to the conclusion that a real place would not look stylized enough for Burton It was back to the Pinewood backlot to start building something that looked grim wet and depressing on the outside but transitioned believably into a magical kingdom inside 47 The town whose design was shaped by the black and white urban photography of Bill Brandt as well as Pittsburgh and Northern England is arranged like a medieval village with Wonka s estate on top and the Bucket shack below As per the film s ambiguous setting the cars drive down the middle of the roads 9 The backlot constructed at Pinewood Studios consisted of the factory courtyard several streets nearly fifty townhomes twenty shops and the Bucket shack This town was coincidentally constructed on the same backlot Burton had used for Gotham City in 1989 s Batman 20 The Bucket home was inspired by Roald Dahl s famed writing hut while the exterior of Wonka s factory was based on fascist architecture with Burton remarking for Wonka s factory we kind of wanted a building with a kind of Hoover Dam like optimism and strength but then once it gets dark it looks slightly foreboding 20 For the set pieces in Wonka s factory Burton favored using 360 degree enclosed sets because it offered a complete environment and got rid of visitors 20 The Inventing Room utilized scrap from the aeronautic industry defunct confectionary machinery and old car parts 47 McDowell compared the design of the Nut Room to that of a hospital with its plastic finish and sterile colors 48 The crew came up with the layout of the Nut Room fairly quickly while the color scheme took more time to develop 20 The Nut Room had to be constructed at an elevation to account for the hole Veruca Salt would have to fall down 47 The all white design of the TV Room was adapted directly from the book though 2001 A Space Odyssey and THX 1138 also served as inspirations 49 20 The designs of each set would influence the style of music for the Oompa Loompa songs 50 McDowell s design for the Chocolate Room set featured a practical 192 000 gallon faux chocolate river Willy Wonka s Chocolate Room was built on Pinewood Studios 007 Stage one of the largest soundstages in the world Sections of artificial grass were laid upon blocks of polystyrene foam that formed the shape of the landscape 51 For the chocolate river McDowell insisted on having the river look edible saying in the first film it s so distasteful 9 According to Tim Burton the important thing for me was that we wanted to give the chocolate river a really chocolatey feel give it a weight not just brown water That s why we tried to use a real chocolate substitute to give it a movement and texture 20 Joss Williams oversaw the creation of a faux chocolate concoction taking months to create a non toxic edible substance with the right consistency 52 The final mixture developed by a UK based chemical company called Vickers 53 was a mix of water and a thickening agent known as Natrosol 54 with food dye used to achieve the brown coloring 39 The river was 270 feet long six feet deep and consisted of 192 000 gallons of faux chocolate while 30 000 gallons of the same material made up the waterfall 45 Wonka s boat used by the characters to travel down the chocolate river took 20 weeks to build and incorporated 54 animatronic Oompa Loompas along with its own internal rowing mechanism 55 Colleen Atwood who served as the costume designer on every live action Tim Burton film from 1994 s Ed Wood to 2019 s Dumbo was set to reprise her position on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but ultimately declined citing personal reasons 56 Burton then selected Italian costume designer Gabriella Pescucci Ten different jackets and overcoats were designed to find the right look for Willy Wonka Pescucci described the film s wardrobe as contemporary but with old world styling 39 n 1 Wonka s latex gloves which Burton added as a symbol of his detachment from society were provided by a London based latex fetish BDSM clothing company 20 58 Filming Principal photography for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory started on June 21 2004 15 While the main set pieces were filmed on soundstages at Pinewood Studios in England the crew also shot on several locations across the country with the toothpaste factory filmed at a CompAir factory in High Wycombe 59 and Veruca Salt s manor filmed at Hatfield House for the interior shots 60 and Wrotham Park for the exterior 61 Various establishing shots were filmed in Germany 62 Yemen 63 and the United States 64 Tim Burton shot Charlie and the Chocolate Factory simultaneously alongside Corpse Bride Composer Danny Elfman screenwriter John August and production designer Alex McDowell served in the same position for both movies Johnny Depp Helena Bonham Carter Deep Roy and Christopher Lee provided their vocals to Corpse Bride during the filming of Charlie 26 A miniature town was constructed for exterior shots of the town and factory as Tim Burton considered buildings difficult to achieve with CGI 65 Tim Burton avoided using too many digital effects to reflect the original book s emphasis on texture and because he wanted the younger actors to feel as if they were working in a realistic environment 66 As a result forced perspective techniques oversized props and scale models were used to avoid computer generated imagery CGI wherever possible 20 Matte paintings were used during the Loompaland and Indian palace sequences 67 However several scenes were deemed impossible to achieve realistically without CGI The Moving Picture Company was tasked with creating entire CG environments for sequences such as the boat ride and the glass elevator tour 68 A practical method was initially used for Violet Beauregarde s inflation however Burton was not satisfied by the effects and decided the scene would be accomplished with CGI 69 Deep Roy was cast to play the Oompa Loompas based on his previous collaborations with Burton on Planet of the Apes and Big Fish The actor was able to play various Oompa Loompas using split screen photography digital and front projection effects 4 Tim told me that the Oompa Loompas were strictly programmed like robots all they do is work work work Roy commented So when it comes time to dance they re like a regiment they do the same steps 70 Roy who played a total of 165 individual Oompa Loompas in the film experienced an especially laborious regimen during production He was required to regularly practice Pilates with a personal trainer and follow a diet in order for his appearance to remain unchanged during filming With no prior professional dancing experience each musical number involving Roy took a month to rehearse and six months in total to film 71 72 In referencing his workload during production Burton called Roy the hardest working man in show biz 73 For Veruca Salt s demise at the hands of a hundred squirrels Burton wanted the animals to be real He consulted with the film s animal trainer Mike Alexander to determine which parts of the sequence would be achievable with live squirrels 20 Forty rescue squirrels were trained over 19 weeks the first three of which were spent making the animals comfortable with their crates and their trainers 74 The squirrels were then given props and taught how to sit upon a bar stool tap and then open a walnut and deposit its meat onto a conveyor belt 9 According to Alexander the smartest squirrels were assigned to shell as those who had difficulty with the regiment were placed in a separate group that ran across the floor and attacked Veruca s stunt double 39 For the shots where the rodents would be in close interaction with Veruca CG squirrels designed by Framestore CFC were implemented Several shots called for a hundred animated squirrels while close up models required five million computer generated hairs to look realistic 68 Animatronic squirrels were also used in the background of shots where a live squirrel would be performing the shelling routine 39 Several challenges emerged during filming The delicate landscape of the Chocolate Room posed a challenge for the crew with cinematographer Philippe Rousselot recalling that the set was very impractical for shooting because it was all curves and extraordinarily fragile as soon as you stepped onto the grass you destroyed it Rousselot instead utilized a cable suspended camera system known as Cablecam 54 On one occasion the camera was improperly secured to the system and subsequently plunged into the faux chocolate river destroying the 540 000 camera and delaying production 75 Another hurdle during filming was the existence of British Equity rules which state that children can only work four and a half hours a day 26 Filming for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory took six months ending in December 2004 Despite these challenges Burton claimed production ended ahead of schedule 20 Music Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Original Motion Picture SoundtrackSoundtrack album

AllMusic 79 Movie Wave 80 ScoreNotes 81 Soundtrack Net 82 Danny Elfman similar to Tim Burton had no emotional attachment to 1971 s Willy Wonka amp the Chocolate Factory 83 According to Elfman I had no trouble divorcing myself from those original songs I ve dealt with that a couple of times You know you re dealing with something that s going to make a lot of people angry and you just can t think about it 84 Because the Oompa Loompa musical numbers would require complex choreography and be shot on set Elfman had to compose those songs before filming began Elfman also composed the songs simultaneously alongside the music from Corpse Bride 85 It was decided at an early stage that Elfman would be providing the vocals for all the Oompa Loompas a decision justified by the identical nature of the Oompa Loompas with pitch changes and modulations to represent different singers 83 86 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory marks the first time since 1993 s The Nightmare Before Christmas that Elfman contributed to a film score using written songs and his vocals 86 The first song composed was Augustus Gloop being done as a Bollywood spectacle per Deep Roy s suggestion 70 Elfman recounted my original approach was to find a style of music and apply that to all the songs Tim was like No no no no no we re going to completely mix it up I said Great let s go 83 Per Burton s suggestion the Oompa Loompa songs would each reflect a different style of music Violet Beauregarde is 1970s funk Veruca Salt is 1960s bubblegum and psychedelic pop and Mike Teavee is a tribute to late 1970s hard rock particularly Queen and early 1980s hair bands 86 87 All four songs utilize lyrics direct from Roald Dahl s book as such the lyrics are credited to Dahl 39 Rather than using the book s songs in their entirety Elfman selected specific verses as he believed using them unabridged would have made each song ten minutes long Violet Beauregarde was the only song that required a partial rewrite as the song in the book was about a girl who chewed gum rather than Violet Beauregarde herself 85 The only other song to require vocal performances was Wonka s Welcome Song which was written in collaboration with the film s screenwriter John August 88 In addition to the Oompa Loompa songs Elfman created an entire underscore for the film being based around three primary themes a gentle family theme for the Buckets generally set in upper woodwinds a mystical string driven waltz for Willy Wonka and a hyper upbeat factory theme for full orchestra Elfman s homemade synthesizer samples and the diminutive chanting voices of the Oompa Loompas 39 Elfman and Burton differed on their ideas for the main title music as Elfman imagined something more dreamy while Burton wanted something energetic 85 Richard Strauss Also sprach Zarathustra plays during a sequence in the film as a direct reference to 2001 A Space Odyssey 89 When introducing himself to the golden ticket winners Wonka quotes Good Morning Starshine from the 1967 musical Hair 90 The original motion picture soundtrack was released on July 12 2005 by Warner Sunset Records 91 Doug Adams of Film Score Monthly said of the Oompa Loompa songs Each piece includes something the others don t rhythms or hooks or harmonies that in Elfman s inimitable way seem like deconstructions and wholly original concepts at the same time 77 Filmtracks com called the soundtrack a rhythmically driven affair because of the mechanical nature of the factory a departure from Elfman s penchant for quieter heartbreaking themes 78 Wonka s Welcome Song received a Grammy nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media 92 Elfman would later cite Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as being one of the most fun projects he had been involved with 84 In 2010 thirteen previously unreleased tracks were included as part of the Danny Elfman amp Tim Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box In addition to those tracks instrumentals of Wonka s Welcome Song and the Oompa Loompa songs were included as well as several demos 93 Release Helena Bonham Carter is photographed at the film s London premiere Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had its premiere at the Grauman s Chinese Theatre on July 10 2005 where money for the Make a Wish Foundation was raised 94 The film was released in the United States on July 15 2005 in 3 770 theaters 95 including IMAX

release of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory rekindled public interest in Roald Dahl s 1964 book which appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list from July 3 to October 23 2005 99 100 Burton s

of in Germany until Burton s version was released 102 Marketing Early in the development of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in February 2000 Warner Bros announced their intention of marketing the

the Xbox PlayStation 2 GameCube Game Boy Advance and Microsoft Windows platforms The film s cast provided their voices for the game with the sole exception of Johnny Depp who was replaced by James Arnold Taylor The game received mostly negative reviews from critics although Winifred Phillips s score received some praise 110 111 Box office Although it opened the same day as Wedding Crashers and within a week of Fantastic Four the film s primary competition for its opening weekend was considered to be the sixth installment in the Harry Potter book series 112 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory earned 56 178 450 in its opening weekend in the United States 5 the fifth highest opening weekend gross for 2005 and remained the highest grossing film for two weeks 113 2 2 million of the opening

grossing film of Johnny Depp s career 121 As of 2021 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remains the only hit Roald Dahl adaptation following the underperformances of Wes Anderson s Fantastic Mr Fox and Steven Spielberg s The BFG Forbes hypothesized that the film s success could be attributed to Depp and Burton being at the height of their popularity in 2005 122 Home media Charlie and the Chocolate

Tomatoes 83 of 228 reviews are positive and the average rating is 7 2 10 The website s critical consensus reads Closer to the source material than 1971 s Willy Wonka amp the Chocolate Factory Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is for people who like their Chocolate visually appealing and dark 130 According to Metacritic which calculated a weighted average score of 72 out of 100 from 40 critic reviews the film received generally favorable reviews 131 Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of A on an A to F scale 132 A O Scott of The New York Times gave a positive review writing in spite of relapses and imperfections a few of them serious Mr Burton s movie succeeds in doing what far too few films aimed primarily at children even know how to attempt anymore which is to feed even to glut the youthful appetite for aesthetic surprise Scott also praised Alex McDowell s set design comparing the look of the factory to something out of Fritz Lang s Metropolis 133 Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle found Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Burton s best work in years If all the laughs come from Depp who gives Willy the mannerisms of a classic Hollywood diva the film s heart comes from Highmore a gifted young performer whose performance is sincere deep and unforced in a way that s rare in a child actor 134 Peter Travers wrote in Rolling Stone magazine that Depp s deliciously demented take on Willy Wonka demands to be seen Depp goes deeper to find the bruises on Wonka s secret heart than what Gene Wilder did Depp and Burton may fly too high on the vapors of pure imagination but it s hard to not get hooked on something this tasty And how about that army of Oompa Loompas all played by Deep Roy in musical numbers that appear to have been choreographed by Busby Berkeley on crack 135 Depp s performance as Willy Wonka received widespread comparisons to Michael Jackson 136 Roger Ebert was among the critics who made such comparisons citing Depp s performance as the weak spot in an otherwise mostly delightful film and noting Willy Wonka s reclusive lifestyle the fetishes of wardrobe and accessories the elaborate playground built by an adult for the child inside as parallels between the two 137 Depp was surprised by the comparisons and stated that he did not base his performance on Jackson 138 Burton dismissed the comparisons and stated that unlike Jackson Depp s iteration of the character does not like children 139 Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post criticized Depp s acting The cumulative effect isn t pretty Nor is it kooky funny eccentric or even mildly interesting Indeed throughout his fey simpering performance Depp seems to be straining so hard for weirdness that the entire enterprise begins to feel like those excruciating occasions when your parents tried to be hip 140 Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly praised Depp s performance writing he maintains the paradox the mystery of Willy Wonka a misanthrope who has little patience for children who can t even utter the word parents without gagging yet who invents for those same kids the purest and most luscious candies out of the sugar dream of his imagination 141 Depp received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance 142 Gene Wilder s reaction In 2004 during on set interviews while filming Burton called the 1971 film Willy Wonka amp the Chocolate Factory sappy adding A lot of people are huge fans of the movie and hold it in awe I wasn t one of them 9 143 Depp paid homage to Gene Wilder who portrayed Willy Wonka in the first adaptation Depp considered Wilder s performance brilliant but subtle He said to have had Big shoes to fill though Gene Wilder did such an awesome job in that film in the early 70s 9 144 While Wilder was appreciative towards Depp s comments he was uncharacteristically critical of Burton s production overall stating It s just some people sitting around thinking How can we make some more money Why else would you remake Willy Wonka I don t see the point of going back and doing it all over again 145 146 147 The filmmakers emphasized that the 2005 production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an adaptation of the 1964 book rather than a remake of the 1971 film Depp found Wilder s remarks disappointing although I can understand where he s coming from I guess 4 Wilder later praised Depp s casting saying If I were going to cast the movie I would cast Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka because I think he is wonderful Mysterious always and magical 148 In 2013 Wilder made further comments calling Burton s film an insult He continued It s probably Warner Brothers insult I think I like Warner Brothers for other reasons but to do that with Johnny Depp who I think is a good actor and I like him But I don t care for that director Burton and he s a talented man but I don t care for him for doing stuff like he did 147 Legacy A person cosplaying as Willy Wonka In the years following its release Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been described as popular but divisive 149 love it or hate it 150 and everlastingly polarizing 151 Entertainment Weekly and Variety respectively ranked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as Tim Burton s third and fourth best film 152 153 Conversely Time Out named it the worst adaptation of a Roald Dahl book elaborating there s something so horribly garish about Burton s film that you can t help feeling a little queasy afterwards 154 Although the 1971 film adaptation is considered the more beloved version Burton s film is regarded as more faithful to Dahl s text 155 156 157 Guy Lodge of The Guardian claimed that the film s reputation was hurt by Depp s off puttingly fey chilly spin on Wonka even though Burton s film handily trumps the 1971 adaptation for cinematic verve and vibrancy 158 Korey Coleman of Double Toasted echoed Lodge s sentiments about Depp s performance calling it unsettling and off putting Despite not caring for the overall film Coleman praised Burton for applying his own vision to the story rather than imitating the 1971 adaptation 159 In a series reflecting on Burton s filmography Griffin Newman of Blank Check praised the film noting that it had a comic energy that was lacking in Burton s subsequent films such as Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows 160 Comic Book Resources noted that the film is popular among those who grew up in the 2000s 161 In 2020 a cosplayer emulating Depp s portrayal of Willy Wonka went viral on TikTok with Nylon dubbing him sexy Willy Wonka 162 163 During the Depp v Heard trial Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of the most viewed films on Netflix 164 The film was mentioned in the courtroom by Depp s attorney who accused a psychiatrist brought in by Amber Heard s lawyers of using Depp s film portrayals to make official diagnoses about the actor The doctor s bizarre reaction to the inquiry led to the interaction going viral 165 166 167
