Line #3 Awesome/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory


1	''Awesome moments specific to the 1971 film adaptation go [[Awesome/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory here]].''
2
3	!!Original Novel
4	* A small one: the owner of the sweet shop where Charlie finds his ticket telling the adults who are trying to force the poor kid into selling it to them to back off. This is faithfully incorporated into the 2005 film.
5	* The fact that Wonka built an ''entire palace'' out of solid chocolate counts as one.
6
7	!!2005 Film
8	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=791CWHOkekg The opening sequence]], scored by Creator/DannyElfman, is made of awesome - it has a pumping, industrial-sounding soundtrack, and features a huge amount of SceneryPorn, showing us around the factory as Wonka bars are manufactured, and setting up the film's DarkFantasy setting with its [[DarkerAndEdgier darker tone]], establishing for the audience that it is definitely not going to be the whimsical, Technicolor, psychedelic world we are shown in [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory the 1971 film]].
9	* Grandpa Joe gets most of the glory since he accompanies Charlie to Willy Wonka's factory, but grumpy Grandpa George has a [=CMoA=] when he responds to Charlie's suggestion that they sell his golden ticket.
10	-->'''Grandpa George:''' Young man, come here. There's plenty of money out there. They print more every day. But this ticket -- there's only five of them in the whole world, and that's all there's ever ''going'' to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as money. Are you a dummy?\
11	'''Charlie:''' No, sir.\
12	'''Grandpa George:''' Then get that mud off your pants. You've got a factory to go to!
13	** It's the fact that he's TheCynic at all other times that makes his advice (happiness is better than money) so touching.
14	* The fireworks room during the elevator ride.
15	--> '''Mike:''' Why is everything here so pointless?!
16	* Danny Elfman's ability to take the lyrics from Dahl's novel and set them to various musical genres is commendable in itself.
17	** Each musical number is a fun little parody/{{Expy}} and they have a number of GeniusBonus shout-outs. ''Augustus Gloop'' nods to Bollywood musical numbers (at the suggestion of Creator/DeepRoy), ''Violet Beauregarde'' is a little nod to techno/funk; ''Veruca Salt'' is a gentle ballad with a Beatles vibe; and ''Mike Teavee'' has punk anger and a spray of pop-culture references (along with another nod to the Beatles in its bridge).
18	** As The Nostalgia Critic points out in his Old vs New video of the two movies, the Oompa Loompa songs also tribute musical styling of various eras. Augustus's is '40s mambo, Violet's is '70s Blaxploitation funk, Veruca's is '60s psychedelic rock, Mike's is early '80s Progressive Rock.
19	* Wonka gets his [=CMoA=] when Veruca adamantly continues to demand a squirrel despite his already having turned down her father's offer to buy one for her. Wonka's response? He imitates Mr. Salt perfectly ("I'm sorry, darling. Mr. Wonka's being unreasonable.") just to mock them. (Also a Funny Moment.)
20	* Mr. Salt [[BelatedChildDiscipline standing up to Veruca for the first time in his life]] at the end of the film.

22	!!2013 Stage Musical
23	* "It Must Be Believed to Be Seen", the Act One finale and Willy Wonka's introductory song, is [[AwesomeMusic/{{Theatre}} a terrific song]] in and of itself. The staging makes it even more spectacular -- the ObfuscatingDisability trick that sets up an InstantCostumeChange...the entire assembled crowd of Golden Ticket finders and press becoming a troupe of backup dancers seemingly out of sheer reverence...the gloomy factory's windows first being lit up with a deft wave of his cane and then changing colors until the whole place looks like the mothership from ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind''... the delightfully ominous DoorClosesEnding. If the right kind of LargeHam is playing Wonka (and Creator/DouglasHodge, the role originator, was indeed that), the cumulative effect of all this is a sense of sheer ''power'' rolling over the audience.
