6	[[caption-width-right:350:''"Don't forget what happened to the man who got everything he always wanted: He lived happily ever after."'']]
7	* Everyone, adults included, eating to their heart's content in the Chocolate Room.
8	** Willy Wonka has one of his own that's shown throughout the whole sequence. The smile on his face as he beckons everyone to enjoy themselves, the way he helps Mike and Violet get candy out of the trees, even the song 'Pure Imagination' itself. All of them together give an impression that Wonka's happy to have visitors, people he can personally share his creations with once more.
9	* After Wonka denies Charlie the lifetime supply of chocolate for stealing the Fizzy Lifting Drinks, a furious Grandpa Joe decides that they'll get revenge by giving Slugworth the Everlasting Gobstopper as requested. However, Charlie decides they can't betray Wonka like that and gives the gobstopper back to him as atonement for breaking the rules:
10	-->'''Wonka''': [[Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice So shines a good deed in a weary world...]] (To Charlie) Charlie? My boy. YOU'VE WON! YOU DID IT! I knew you would! I just knew you would! Oh, Charlie. Forgive me for putting you through this. Please forgive me. Come in, Mr. Wilkinson! (to Charlie) Charlie, meet Mr. Wilkinson.
11	-->'''Mr. Wilkinson''': (formerly Slugworth) Pleasure!
12	-->'''Charlie''': Slugworth!
13	-->'''Wonka''': No! No! That's not Slugworth! He works for me!
14	-->'''Charlie''': For you?
15	-->'''Wonka''': I had to test you, Charlie. And you passed the test! You won!
16	-->'''Grandpa Joe:''' Won what?!
17	-->'''Wonka''': The jackpot, my dear sir! The grand and glorious jackpot!
18	-->'''Charlie''': The chocolate?
19	-->'''Wonka''': The chocolate, yes! The chocolate, but that's just the beginning! We hafta get on! We hafta get on! We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that. Reverse it. This way, please!
20	** Just the words "So shines a good deed in a weary world." In other words, "The first time in a career of being betrayed and disrespected that anyone ever thought about me."
21	*** It can be hard to spot, but when Charlie puts the Gobstopper down, Wonka freezes. It's as if he never expected any of the children, though they might decline the bribe, would actually ''return'' the candy.
22	** In addition, even with how devastated he must have felt that he ([[SecretTestOfCharacter seemingly]]) didn't win the contest after all and Grandpa Joe's [[PapaWolf promise of revenge]], Charlie just can't bring himself to betray Wonka's trust and confidence, [[KeepTheReward and he gives him back the Everlasting Gobstopper]].
23	** When you think about it, Charlie was the first ''and only'' person who actually had a good enough reason to sell the Gobstopper. Wonka's rivals stole his secret recipes out of sheer jealousy; the four bratty kids (especially Veruca and Mike) were merely hoping to earn a quick score; Grandpa Joe, despite having the same reasons as Charlie, wanted to sell the Gobstopper out of petty revenge. Charlie? He clearly wants to help provide for his impoverished family, but not at the expense of another person.
24	* The ENTIRE ending, with Wonka giving Charlie his chocolate factory as the prize. Doubled that Wonka doesn't even flinch or hesitate before Charlie asks if he can bring his family too.
25	-->'''Willy Wonka''': But Charlie, don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted.\
26	'''Charlie''': What happened?\
27	'''Willy Wonka''': [[HappilyEverAfter He lived happily ever after.]]\
28	''(they hug)''
29	** Wonka specifically wanted kids to find the tickets and win the prize because only they would be able to follow his ideals of what candy is supposed to be and to take care of his workers the way they should be.
30	* When Charlie finds the Golden Ticket. Even better is the fact that the people around him, in contrast to the desperate and greedy mobs we've seen trying to get a hold of tickets earlier, actually seem happy for him and even get protective when a crowd starts forming.
31	-->'''Mr. Jopek:''' Run for it, Charlie! Run straight home and don't stop till you get there!
32	** Also doubles as SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
33	* Charlie, who can't be more than ten or so, spending the first money he ever earned in his life on his desperately poor family instead of himself.
34	* The song "The Candyman" near the beginning is full of [[{{Pun}} sugary sweet]] imagery. "Who can take tomorrow, wrap it in a dream, separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream? The candyman can!" It's a very hard song not to smile at!
35	* "Pure Imagination". It's just so sweet and heartwarming.
36	** After the first stanza, Wonka looks at Violet and she gives a nervous little smile.
37	** The usually apathetic Wonka using his cane to give candy to Violet and Mike, the latter when he was struggling to reach it.
38	** Grandpa Joe and Charlie exchanging giant candy canes, realizing that they're the same, then chuckle as they eat them.
39	* As is "I've Got a Golden Ticket"
40	-->'''Grandpa Joe:''' I never thought my life could be/anything but catastrophe,
41	-->But suddenly I begin to see/ a bit of good luck for me...
42	* The fact that Mr. Beauregarde vows to get even with Wonka for what happens to Violet. Despite his self-centered tendencies, as he tried to use her interview time to plug his car lot, he does care for his daughter and he's the only parent who actually promises legal action against Wonka.
43	** The reactions of the other guests seem flippant when Violet Beauregarde inflates into a blueberry with juice dye, but they do seem quite concerned at first when Willy Wonka tells her father that he warned his daughter that his invention was not ready yet, and the other guests did seem a bit concerned for her when the Oompa Loompas sung to her and started rolling her around. Mind you this was all happening to a child.
44	* Charlie trying to rescue Augustus from the Chocolate River after the latter falls in.
45	* A small one, but when Charlie buys a Wonka bar and begins wolfing it down, the candy shop owner tells Charlie to take it easy while eating it: "You'll get a stomach ache swallowing it whole like that!"
