- Except that Roald Dahl didn't write the book the movie was based on, he only adapted it. Ian Fleming did. Think about that one for a bit.
- Again, everything Roald Dahl has written. The screenplay is something.
- Obviously this means that everything Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming have written belong to the same Verse.
- "Hello, Mr. Bond. Q is out today, I'm filling in, you can call me W. First, here's your chocolate gun, 49% cacao, of course. Fires 8 12-mm jelly beans in assorted flavors. Best weapon possible against Vermicious Knids."
- And Baron Bomburst is the father of Auric Goldfinger.
- On that note, Willy Wonka is one of the young men dancing around Lord Scrumptious' factory, who later decided to start his own company.
- Obviously this means that everything Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming have written belong to the same Verse.
- Desmond Llewellyn, who played Q in every Bond movie from From Russia with Love to The World Is Not Enoughnote plays Coggins, the junkyard owner who sells Potts the old car that becomes Chitty.
- This actually fits. Tobias Snape is said to have had the same large nose that his son did, and judging by the timeline he was probably born in 1925-1935, the Child Catcher was probably born in the 1860s-1870s, he could've been Tobias's grandfather and Severus's great-grandfather.
- Alternatively, Severus might be descended from one of the Child Catcher's siblings, since the Child Catcher wouldn't be likely to have kids himself. If Severus is directly descended from the Child Catcher, maybe the Child Catcher knocked up some poor woman in a one-night stand (after which she presumably hit the Brain Bleach hard) but never knew he had a kid.
So: the Child Catcher, following the events of the film, expatriates himself to Britain, taking with him his wardrobe, cart and making a living as a sweet-maker under the name "Wonka", in the factories of Lord Scrumptious. After marrying a pretty-looking Englishwoman for citizenship, he fathers a child named Wilhelm, and inspires him in his choice of clothing, talent for sweet-making...and manic loathing of children. It is this loathing that causes Wilhelm - "little Willy" - to develop his unique personality - a secret hatred of himself caused by his father's violent upbringing.
When he realises he cannot seek revenge on the Potts family, as Caractacus is now the son-in-law of his boss, he satisfies himself in becoming the factory manager; at his deathbed, he tells "little Willy" to carry on his work. To this end, Willy Wonka becomes such a successful maker of sweets that he founds a rival company and buys Scrumptious' factory - and then begins his mission...building better and more fantastic sweets than ever before and ensnaring only the most wicked of children for punishment, in order to set the others an example! In his grave, the Child Catcher sleeps easily. His legacy is in good hands...
- Supported by the novel, oddly enough, in that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang doesn't use an inflatable raft — she turns her wheels under her carriage, becoming the watergoing counterpart to Doc Brown's flying Delorean.
- Actually, if you look closely at Chitty during this sequence, you can see her wheels are rapidly spinning, meaning that they are actually drawng air in to the inflatable skirt, making it in to an actual hovercraft. But the effect is the same.
