CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a children's tale that teaches good behavior
brings great rewards. Charlie and the Chocolate factory lands on my favorites list because it is a classic rags to riches story.
Written by Roald Dahl in 1964, however he had to revise the book after receiving criticism for the way he
described the oompaloompa’s.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the story of five children who win an opportunity to tour the Willy Wonka chocolate
factory. The children find themselves struggling with their vices during the tour except for Charlie Bucket. He was always
thinking of others throughout the story. Charlie comes from a poor family that struggles to make ends meet but in the end...
Charlie wins the Chocolate Factory
The Story Becomes A Movie
The Story Becomes A Movie
The movie was a musical titled Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The film was released June 30, 1971 at a cost of $3 Million. Even though the big
screen brought the movie to a new audiences there were
noticeable differences from the book. Roald Dahl spoke out against the movie because it
deviated from his script.

A Second Movie
A Second MovieThe second film was directed by
Tim Burton. It was released on July 15, 2005. Burton chose to stick
closer to the original story than the first film. He also spent more time
reflecting on Willy Wonka’s childhood. Even though Burton had more technological tools available; Burton chose to work more with oversized props so the children would be able to work in a real
environment.
Following the 2005 movie release another video game was released for the Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft
Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo's Game Boy Advance, and Windows PC by developers Backbone and High Voltage Software and publisher 2K Games.
Since the first film was a musical, I feel it has contributed to the success of the story instead of
harming it as Dahl feared. When my generation reflects on the story we can’t help but sing Pure Imagination to
ourselves.
Technology has not changed the theme of this story. A simple boy who comes from a poor family named Charlie Bucket now lives in the hearts and homes of
multiple generations and cultures. We can all see a little Charlie in ourselves and that is why the story has been
so successful.
