Finally get to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory :D

A very fascinating, exciting and adventurous movie. Reminds me of the old days where I would sit down in the living room and read my story books from Roald Dahl or Enid Blyton woo~ Too bad my mum threw away all my books :s But nvm I’m gonna get my hands on them again =)

I’m glad the movie was what I had expected. However there are a few scenes which really amuse me. Like when Grandpa Joe suddenly jumped out his bed and started dancing lol.. funny guy.. and Charlie Bucket is sooooo cute haha

But too bad they didn’t really show us how delicious the chocolates and sweets were :s No caramels, no marshmallows etc :eek:

Well, Willy Wonka is really… WEIRD and CRAFTY

The welcome song is also very weird.. all the figurines caught fire and Willy Wonka suddenly appeared out of nowhere huh And he need to read his speech from a pack of cards, funny.

I like the song, it’s really cool.

Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka… The amazing chocolatier…
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka… Everybody give a cheer…
He’s modest, clever, and so smart, he barely can restrain it…
With so much generousity, there is no way to contain it…
To contain it… to contain… to contain… to contain…

Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka… He’s the one that you’re about to meet…
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka… He’s a genius who just can’t be beat…
The magician and the chocolate wiz…
He’s the best darn guy who ever lived…
Willy Wonka here he is…

Lol.. And of course the rest of the songs sang by the Oompa Loompas were quite nice. I found these fun facts about the movie from the Internet.

Wonka�s Chocolate Room – 007 Stage
206,563.48 US gallons of fake chocolate was made for the River area.
38,430.41 US gallons of fake chocolate were made for the waterfall.
Total on stage 244,993.89 US gallons of fake chocolate.

Fake and real chocolate bars
110,000 plastic candy bars were made and wrapped by Nestle. These were mostly used for Mr. Salt�s Nut Factory when his 500 employees ripped the wrappers off to find the Golden Ticket for his daughter Veruca.

1850 real chocolate bars were made by Nestle for the film.
A special walk-in trailer was acquired to hold all the chocolate. It was kept at a certain humidity to preserve and safe guard the chocolate. All chocolate was made with real ingredients.

Other real candy made for the film included:

All the lollipops on the trees, the giant pink sugar canes, the giant humbugs and the red & white swirls of the sweeping tree were all real.

The Nut Room
Animal trainer Michael Alexander and his team spent 19 weeks training 40 squirrels for the squirrel room scene. The squirrels were trained to sit on stools while they opened nut shells and dropped the nuts onto a conveyor belt.

The Glass Boat used on the Chocolate River
Measuring 30 ft x 9 ft., the boat took 20 weeks to build. It was designed to float on the chocolate river and later put onto a track for the tunnel scene.

Cool The Oompa Loompas are very funny. I didn’t knew they all look the same shocked

LOL :p And Johnny Depp is really gorgeous :p

I hope there’s a continuation of the movie for Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
