Customer Reviews of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (Special Widescreen Edition)
This is a classic for the family. I miss these kinds of films. They are classics for the whole family. I put together a list to remind folks of some of the best ones out there that are family oriented interesting and full of great music. It blows me away when I meet a 10 year old who hasn't seen something like Sound of Music or Wizard of Oz. It's been a long time since Hollywood has come up with one of these! <

>I am an advocate of good old fasion family fun. I try and take my kids to these and other live musicals as well. We even do voice lesson Cds: (I recommend them as well) <
>"Voice Lessons To Go" by Vaccarino, to prep before we sing through their sound tracks. It's just another alternative to regular television time. There is a wholesome quality to them that sadly is not very prevelent today.
Great classic
My 6-year old son loves this movie. He wanted to watch again and again. The style of this movie reminds me "Mary Poppins (1964)". He enjoyed this movie even after he read the book twice.

A classic family film, a gem for kids young and old.
In an age where it's becoming increasingly difficult to find films that are truly kid-friendly, it's nice to be able to fall back on classic movies like this one. I watched this over the weekend with my 8-year old son, who saw it for the first time (it was my third or fourth viewing). He enjoyed it immensely, but I also didn't mind making a little diversion into the world of "pure imagination" for a while.

>For those poor few sheltered souls who have never seen the movie, it's all about young Charlie's dream to break free from his life of poverty in London and experience every kid's fantasy -- winning a tour of the world famous Willy Wonka chocolate factory to meet the mysterious Willy Wonka himself (played by Gene Wilder). Oh, there's also the matter of a lifetime supply of chocolate. Charlie is a character of pure, unselfish heart who never lets go of hope even in the face of overwhelming odds. He stands in stark contrast to the greedy, self-centered children (and their parents) who join Charlie on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and who provide wonderful object lessons about how NOT to be.

>The story is replete with song, color and fantasy as Willy Wonka takes Charlie and the others on a great adventure through his chocolate factory. Pure imagination is the order of the day, and strange wonders await behind every door. Willy Wonka can be described as eccentric, to say the least, but his philosophy can be summed up in his simple statement -- "We are the music makers; we are the dreamers of dreams." Gene Wilder does a marvelous job bringing this character vividly to life.

>If you've never seen this one, by all means do, and make sure your kids are with you. It's more fun when the grown-up kids and the not-so-grown-up kids share the experience. "Willy Wonka" is destined to remain a classic.
