In the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, they are portrayed as orange-skinned characters with green hair and white eyebrows and were portrayed by Rudy Borgstaller, George Claydon, Malcolm Dixon, Rusty Goffe, Ismed Hassan, Norman McGlen, Angelo Muscat, Pepe Poupee, Marcus Powell, and Albert Wilkinson. In the film, Vermicious Knids were also the Oompa-Loompas' enemies alongside the Whangdoodles, Hornswogglers, and Snozzwangers. The Oompa-Loompas were the workers at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, who were imported by Willy Wonka direct from Loompaland. The Vermicious Knids are also mentioned in other Dahl stories, including James and the Giant Peach (where the New York City Police Department misidentify Miss Spider as one) and The Minpins.

Wonka informed Charlie and his companions that the tribe had been starving, subsisting on green caterpillars but longed for cacao beans; “oh how they craved them,” he said. He bargained with the tribe and promised that if they agreed to “live in my factory” they could have all the cacao beans they wanted: “I’ll even pay your wages in cacao beans if you wish!”Only the male Oompa-Loompas are seen working in the factory, though in Quentin Blake's illustrations, both male and female Oompa-Loompas are shown rolling away Violet Beauregarde after her transformation into a blueberry. Presumably, the females remain in the village seen briefly from the Great Glass Elevator.

For the first time, the Oompa-Loompas use information technology to communicate wirelessly, enlisting supercomputers to improve their productivity and profits. Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own Oompa Loompa costume DIY. With a little bit of creativity and some basic materials, you can now transform into one of the most beloved characters from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. When Wonka shows the group around the Inventing Room, he stops to display a new type of gum he is working on. The gum doubles as a three-course meal which is composed of tomato soup, roast beef and baked potato, and blueberry pie and ice cream. Violet is intrigued and eager to try it out, so despite Wonka's protests, she snatches and chews the gum. She is delighted by its effects but, when she reaches the dessert, blueberry pie, her skin starts turning an indigo color and her body begins to swell up. When her swelling stops, she resembles a round blueberry, causing Wonka to have the Oompa-Loompas roll her to the Juicing Room to have the juice squeezed out of her. She is last seen leaving the factory with the other children, restored to her normal size but still with indigo skin, which Wonka says nothing can be done about. In the 2005 film adaptation, Veruca's elimination remains nearly the same as in the book, with only a few changes. Her demeanor is less vehement, but more obnoxious and manipulative, as compared to the 1971 film version. Also in the 2005 film, it is revealed that she owns a pony, two dogs, four cats, six rabbits, two parakeets, three canaries, a parrot, a turtle, and a hamster, totaling up to 21 pets. The pony is not mentioned in the book.Notopoulos, Katie (13 November 2014). "Grandpa Joe From "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" Is The Internet's Most Hated Man". BuzzFeed News.

A trailer for the film shows Grant’s face grafted onto the CGI-generated body of an orange Oompa Loompa with its distinctive green hair.Kelly, Helen (25 January 2016). "You won't believe what Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Mike Teavee looks like now…". Express.co.uk . Retrieved 16 September 2017. The trailer for the new prequel suggests that the Oompa Loompas’ acquaintance with Wonka is voluntary rather than one related to the unpaid labour of the original book, with Grant’s character said to have “followed” the chocolate maker. The novel reflects cultural anxieties that emerged in the United Kingdom in the 1960s when the labour market opened to New Commonwealth citizens from India and the Caribbean. Grandpa Joe, a former Wonka employee who is laid off, represents the concerns of white British workers who saw immigrants as rivals for what they believed were rightfully white British jobs.

In the 1971 film version, they were said to be “transported” from Loompaland in Africa, rather than “imported”.

A slave galley even made an appearance in the book, one powered by the pygmies who rowed on a river of chocolate. To further emphasize the slave analogy, Dahl introduced whips into the tale, “WHIPS—ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.” And why whips? Well, “For whipping cream, of course!” Burton’s adaptation, a commentary on exploited labour in the digital age, shares several thematic concerns with the musical version. In the late 1960s, under mounting pressure to rewrite the Oompa-Loompas, Dahl agreed, in his words, to “ de-Negro” his characters.
