History Heartwarming / CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory

* Grandpa George, who up until this point has been pessimistically talking down Charlie's chances of finding a Golden Ticket, talks him out of selling it. "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."
** Adding onto that, Charlie suggesting they sell the ticket is (although misguided) unto itself sweet. Here he has in his hands the once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Willy Wonka's factory! Not many kids in Charlie's position can achieve that. And yet, he sees that his impoverished family is going through hard times, and he wants to use the ticket to help keep his family afloat. Coupled with the fact that the ''only'' reason he doesn't go through with this is because Grandpa George (the only one who didn't believe he could get the ticket) [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness told him not to sell it]]. Hey, he's still his grandson.
* In a sweet lift from the novel, during the boat ride Willy scoops up a ladle full of the chocolate river, and shares it with Charlie.

** Then after Charlie takes a bit of the chocolate, he shares a bit with his Grandpa Joe. Charlie is such a sweet boy.

* The moment mentioned above in the novel is adapted to the movie: when Charlie finds his ticket in a sweet shop, the owner shoos away the adults trying to make the boy sell it to them, instructing Charlie to run home and not give the ticket to anyone. Charlie breaks into an enormous smile, and so does the owner. Considering how the world was competing over the tickets, it's wonderful to see someone genuinely happy for Charlie's good luck.
** Additionally, the owner is clearly quite elated to see Charlie find the final ticket in his humble little shop, much like you might feel about having sold a jackpot-winning lottery ticket at your bodega or other small store.

** To clarify: Wonka's father Wilbur was a dentist who regarded candy of all kinds as a waste of time. He only let his son trick-or-treat to know what to expect, before burning the candy he collected. Once a chocolate survived unscathed and Willy tried it, leading him to become a chocolatier. This caused the falling out with his father. On the walls of his surgery however, was every single newspaper clipping about his son since the day he left. His love for his son overrode any sense of anger he had at his act of rebellion and natural dislike of all things sugary. To top it off, he's willing to overlook Willy's profession when he discovers his pearly whites are indeed pearly after all.

* It's a very small moment, but while Veruca has shortly before insulted Charlie for his attempt to readapt an invention Wonka calls a "waste of time", the reveal that Charlie's family barely even has electricity at home manages to shock ''[[EveryoneHasStandards everyone]]'' in the Mixing Room without anyone hiding it, not even Veruca. Further, when Charlie comes up with "Liquid Sunshine" as the glowing concoction's name, Mr. Beauregarde [[PetTheDog pipes in that the name is very catchy]], and Mr. Salt [[SincerityMode even agrees he'd buy it]].

* There's an ExactWords twist that leads to an unusual, subtle heartwarming moment. It turns out that with regards to the lifetime supply of sweets, [[spoiler: one Everlasting Gobstopper qualfies as such]]. Charlie is willing to accept this, which suggests that [[spoiler: he's not only grateful for even a small gift but ''can understand the giver's thinking'' -- that it is not a trick but simply Mr. Wonka's unconventional way of keeping a huge promise]].
* After [[spoiler: Mr. Wonka catches Charlie adding to the notebook and giving him a speech about his daydreaming habit.]]

* There's something adorable about Grandpa Joe, who's FunPersonified in this version, [[spoiler: becoming the official taster and '''an honorary Oompa-Loompa!''']]
* TheReveal at the end throws a goodly chunk of the preceding action into a warmer and fuzzier light with some thought. [[spoiler: Mr. Wonka was sensitive enough to realize Charlie might be who he was looking for and rigged his own contest to give the boy a chance to prove it. And though he couldn't make any PetTheDog moves without risking the Secret Tests, he made sure the boy got to bask in the same limelight the other finders did.]]

* There's also Veruca's more understated fate, in which Mr. Salt, tired of her unceasing demands, implies that he's going to be a ''lot'' more strict with her from now on, leaving hope that she can still turn out better.

** And also the small but touching fact that Willy Wonka was always keeping his teeth in mint condition by brushing them everyday because he knew that's what his father would want.

** Additionally, the owner is clearly quite elated to see Charlie find the final ticket in his humble little shop.

** In the middle of the song, to further cement Charlie winning the factory, Mr. Wonka presents him with [[ChekovsGun his letter]], showing that Wonka received it after all.
