Product Information

Charlie Bucket is a kind and loving boy who lives in poverty with his family near the Wonka Factory. Amazed and awed by the machines and chocolate, things begin to go awry, and their visit does not go as planned.

He consulted with the film's animal trainer, Mike Alexander, to determine which parts of the sequence would be achievable with live squirrels.Colleen Atwood, who served as the costume designer on every live-action Tim Burton film from Ed Wood (1994) to Dumbo (2019), was set to reprise her position on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but ultimately declined citing "personal reasons". In 2020, a cosplayer emulating Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka went viral on TikTok, with Nylon dubbing him "sexy Willy Wonka".

Burton said he sought actors "who had something of the character in them", and found Mike Teavee the hardest character to cast. million of the opening weekend gross was from 65 IMAX theaters, [120] marking the widest domestic IMAX opening ever at the time. Scott of The New York Times gave a positive review, writing "in spite of relapses and imperfections, a few of them serious, Mr.Burton dismissed the comparisons and stated that, unlike Jackson, Depp's iteration of the character does not like children. 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. Tim Burton requested that production designer Alex McDowell watch the film prior to the start of production.

Burton compared the project's languishing development to Batman (1989), which he directed, in how there had been varied creative efforts with both films. Tim told me that the Oompa-Loompas were strictly programmed, like robots—all they do is work, work, work," Roy commented.

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.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.
