About this deal

Prince Pondicherry wanted a palace made of chocolate. Discuss why chocolate might not be a very good building material. So it was no surprise that I finally got around to reading Dahl’s original novel. I was curious to see which film version came closest to Dahl’s vision, and I can surprisingly report that though they both come close to the original text, both rely heavily on artistic license and the kind of freedoms a director will often take when translating a literary work into film. Willy Wonka, the owner of the chocolate factory, a man who makes Charles Montgomery Burns look reasonable, holds a competition to allow a small number of children into his factory to select one of them to be his successor. An original song, "Willy Wonka's Welcome Song," is sung by puppets at the factory entrance. The Ooompa-Loompa songs use Dahl's original lyrics, although they have fewer words. Each of the latter is done in a different contemporary musical style.

That said, the book is really, really good. It held my four-year old's attention. It's silly, and it's fun.In July 2017, an animated film Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was released in which the titular cat and mouse were put into the story of the 1971 film. I know what it means!" he said. "'’s Avonds' - well, that's 'in the evening', 'als hij zijn avondmaal van waterige koolsoep op had', 'when he'd had his dinner of watery cabbage soup'. Of course, 'koolsoep', that's like Swedish 'kålsoppa'! 'ging Sjakie altijd naar de kamer van zijn vier grootouders', 'ging' and 'altijd' are like in Swedish, 'kammer' and 'vier' are like in German, so it's 'went Sjakie always to the room of his four grandparents'.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Tim Burton’s 2005 adaptation starring Johnny Depp and Christopher Lee was also very entertaining and I have enjoyed watching it as well.

The Oompa-Loompa bowed and smiled, showing beautiful white teeth. His skin was rosy-white, his hair was golden brown, and the top of his head came just above the height of Mr Wonka's knee. He wore the usual deerskin slung over his shoulder. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl first published in 1964 was an immediate children’s classic and has inspired two film versions.The questions are also a fantastic way for children to practise for KS2 SATs. Made by experienced teachers, they've been carefully crafted to reflect national curriculum aims, as well as what might appear in the SATs reading paper. Your pupils can refine their skills without the pressure of a formal assessment. What's that over there?" asked Charlie. The children turned round. Behind them was an even bigger bowl of candy!

Look at the illustration of Charlie’s house. Can you think of words to describe it? Could you write a paragraph, or more, about it? How is it similar / different to your house?Indeed it is, indeed it is," said Willy Wonka proudly. "Three point three million of them! One for every Muslim in the United States! But, before you eat any, I must warn you... some of them are POISONED!" Obsessed with television, the Internet, and likes video games, particularly first-person shooter games. He also is much more intelligent than the previous Mikes. This Mike's character fault focuses more on his anger than his TV habit. a b c d e Mangan, Lucy (30 August 2014).

For those of you who haven't read the book, let me underline this fact for you. Dahl takes pains to really detail the fact that Charlie and his family aren't just hungry and poor. They're destitute. Charlie sleeps on a mattress on the floor. In the winter they are cold, and they're starving to death. Only Mr. Salt and Mr. Teavee are critical of their bad children (though Mr. Salt tries to hide his criticalness from his daughter so her feelings won't be hurt). Mrs. Beauregarde, however, becomes critical of her daughter at the near-end of the film.
