Did You Know?

Trivia

The location of Wonka's factory in the movie is ambiguous, and designed to look like a cross between UK and USA (i.e. having London architecture, street layouts and accents, but American clothing styles, and having American mailboxes and fire hydrants as well as American terminology). See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At the Tokyo candy store, several Wonka candy bars appear with Katakana print on the label. The title for the candy, "Nutty Crunch Surprise" is written out as "NATTI KURANCHI SA!RAIZU". The word "Surprise" is written out incorrectly as "SA!RAIZU" while it might be more properly written out as "SAPPARAIZU!". See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Narrator: This is a story of an ordinary little boy named Charlie Bucket. He was not faster, or stronger, or more clever than other children. His family was not rich or powerful or well-connected; in fact, they barely had enough to eat. Charlie Bucket was the luckiest boy in the entire world. He just didn't know it yet.
