History WMG / ChittyChittyBangBang

[[WMG:Jeremy is [[JamesAndTheGiantPeach James' grandfather]] and Jemima is [[Literature/{{Matilda}} Matilda's grandmother]].]]

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 [[TheWonka unique personality]] - a secret hatred of himself caused by his father's violent upbringing.

[[WMG:The Child Catcher is in some way related to [[HarryPotter Severus Snape]].]]

* Desmond Llewellyn, who played Q in every Bond movie from ''FFilm/romRussiaWithLove'' to ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough''[[hottip:*:Except ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'']] plays Coggins, the junkyard owner who sells Potts the old car that becomes Chitty.

Everything RoaldDahl has written is part of a [[TheVerse Verse]]. And it is ''[[RuleOfCool awesome]]''.
* Except that RoaldDahl didn't write the book the movie was based on, he only adapted it. [[JamesBond Ian Fleming]] did. Think about [[MindScrew that one]] for a bit.

At the time that Roald Dahl was brought in to work on the script for ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'' while having finished "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" four years earlier, which (as Dahl chronicled in his short story 'Lucky Break') started out as a short note: "A chocolate factory - run by a lunatic". The original book of "Chitty" doesn't have the Child Catcher, and Dahl needed a proper henchvillain - so why not use the same lunatic twice, but make him even more vindictive the second time?

** Obviously this means that everything Roald Dahl ''and'' Ian Fleming have written belong to the save [[TheVerse Verse.]]

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. 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 Wilhelm - "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, in order to set the others an example! In his grave, the Child Catcher sleeps easily. His legacy is in good hands...

Self-explanatory, really. The difficult part is that the Child Catcher having descendants would require him to have, you know, children.

[[WMG:The Baron Bomburst also hates kids, but because he doesn't want to share his beloved toys.]]
Makes sense, right?

[[WMG:The Queen of Vulgaria is a {{Vampire}}, albeit one that can stand sunlight.]]
Having snared the Emperor in his youth, she's been draining royal blood on a nightly basis ever since their courtship. Hence his hefty body shape, to keep her satiated; hence her youth and beauty compared to his elderliness; hence his seeming regression to a child-like state, having had blood drained from his brain; hence his pathological desire to murder her; hence her seeming immortality; hence the Vulgarian court's predilection for men dressed in smart black suits.
