History WesternAnimation / TomAndJerryWillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory

** Slugworth is given [[AscendedExtra a significantly larger role]] as the film's BigBad, [[spoiler:even though he's still revealed to be [[GoodAllAlong an actor who works for Wonka]]. In order to make him an active antagonist to the heroes,]] Slugworth continues to act as a sinister figure not only in front of Charlie and the other ticket winners, but also maintains it when interacting with Tom and Jerry, and even Tuffy (an Oompa Loompa), [[spoiler:even though he has no reason to keep his facade going when the tour has already started]]. The film eventually tries to explain this, but it winds up creating several {{Voodoo Shark}}s instead.

* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After escaping the furnace with his daughter and Jerry, Mr. Salt has enough of her whining and drags his daughter out by the ear roughly with the implication that he's going to punish her much further.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Charlie, [[spoiler:after giving up the everlasting gobstopper, learns that Wonka's "you get nothing!" rant was just a SecretTestOfCharacter, and Charlie not only passed it, but he wins the entire factory! And Wonka informs Charlie (as well as Tom and Jerry and Tuffy) that he is not really Slugworth, but he works with Wonka and his name is ''Mr. Wilkinson''.]]

** Actually, something viewers might miss entirely - Spike, early on, is shown to be delivering Wonka bars. [[spoiler: Yet two thirds of the way in, he calls Slugworth "boss"]]. As it turns out [[spoiler: he was GoodAllAlong]], and even before that, Slugworth [[spoiler: says Charlie Bucket will get what's coming to him and the factory will have a new owner - Charlie]].

* PassingTheTorch: Wonka gives his entire factory to Charlie, and to Tom and Jerry and Tuffy as well.

** [[spoiler: The fact that they came forward about Tom and Jerry being in the factory with them could also be this - Wonka could have been more angry at Charlie and Joe for not only stealing the Fizzy Lifting Drinks, but ''also'' about the fact that Joe ''lied'' to him about the cat in the factory]].

* TravelingPipeBulge: Happens when Veruca, Mr Salt, Tom, Jerry and Tuffy slide down the garbage chute. Bafflingly averted with Augustus when he gets sucked up the pipe in the Chocolate River, which he is explicitly shown to be too big for.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Slugworth makes an offer like this to Charlie. Suggesting they become "kings of the candy world" with their two gobstoppers.

Due to some [[AshcanCopy complicated studio politics]] on the part of Creator/WarnerBros, it ended up stalling the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryDirectToVideoFilmSeries'' for a time, and also resulted in Creator/RoaldDahl's estate revoking the film rights to ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' from WB and giving them to Creator/{{Netflix}}, though WB did acquire the rights to do a prequel to the original film some time before the release of the ''Tom and Jerry'' one in the form of ''Film/{{Wonka}}'', starring Creator/TimotheeChalamet as the title character, currently scheduled for a Christmas 2023 release.

* AdaptedOut: A few minor characters get this treatment, most notably all the parents (except for Mrs. Bucket) who don't go into the factory.

** Actually, something viewers might miss entirely - Spike, early on, is shown to be delivering Wonka bars. [[spoiler: Yet two thirds of the way in, he calls Slugworth "boss"]]. As it turns out [[spoiler: he was GoodAllAlong]], and even before that, Slugworth [[spoiler: says Charlie Bucket will get what's coming to him and the factory will have a new owner - Charlie.]]

* VoodooShark: [[spoiler: Why was Slugworth so preoccupied with getting rid of Tom and Jerry? Because he was concerned they'd interfere with the plan to make Charlie the new owner of the chocolate factory! Why did he try to kill Tom and Jerry instead of removing them from the premises? Why didn't he explain to anyone, let alone Tom and Jerry, that he's an employee? Why Charlie Bucket of all the kids? None of which are really explained.]]

** The scene when Wonka gets angry at Charlie has him read the contract which Charlie signed, despite this retelling not showing the Contract Signing Scene.
** Slugworth's AdaptationExpansion keeps up his villainy [[spoiler: even though he's an actor who works for Wonka]]. He continues to act evil even when people who didn't win the tickets are around, and also behaves evilly towards Tom and Jerry. The film tries to explain this, but this winds up creating several {{Voodoo Shark}}s instead.

* IdiotBall: Much of the conflict in Tom and Jerry's subplot could have easily been avoided if Slugworth[[spoiler:, or rather, Mr. Wilkinson, had simply explained them that he actually worked for Wonka and Charlie wasn't in any danger]]. It's understandable for him to act so blatantly sinister with Charlie and the other ticket winners [[spoiler:due to giving them a SecretTestOfCharacter]], but he has no reason whatsoever to give the same treatment to a random cat and mouse that shouldn't even be on the premises.

** Tom and Jerry overhear Slugworth talking to Spike, seemingly explaining a sinister plot to kill Charlie and take over the factory. [[spoiler:He's actually talking about Charlie himself inheriting the factory from Wonka]].

** It's implied at the end that Tuffy and the other Oompa Loompas were not aware that [[spoiler:Slugworth was actually an imposter hired by Wonka]]. If Tuffy had known this, he could have easily explained the situation to Tom and Jerry instead of helping them interfere with the tour.

** During the fantasy sequence with Slugworth Tom and Jerry turn into the chalk cat and mouse designs from "Designs on Jerry" and the WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTales opening.

* BalloonBelly: Tom and Jerry upon gorging themselves with candy in the Chocolate Room.

* BalloonBelly: Tom and Jerry when they go into the factory.

* PlotHole:
** The famous scene where Wonka shows the contract Charlie signed and says "You Lose, good day". All Fine and dandy, except for the fact that we never saw him sign it in this version.
** If [[spoiler:Slugworth was GoodAllAlong]], why did he feel the need to pretend, even around people other than the ones he's trying to fool? Why did he feel the need to do this around ''Tom and Jerry'', and that guy he was explaining his EvilPlan to?
