Dahl disowned the film and was "infuriated" by the plot deviations and considered the music to be "saccharine, sappy and sentimental". [11] [13] He was also disappointed because the film "placed too much emphasis on Willy Wonka and not enough on Charlie" and because Gene Wilder was cast as Wonka instead of Spike Milligan. [13] [11] In 1996, Dahl's second wife, Felicity, commented on her husband's objections toward film adaptations of his works, saying, "They always want to change a book's storyline. What makes Hollywood think children want the endings changed for a film, when they accept it in a book?" [78] Legacy [ edit ] Principal photography commenced on August 31, 1970, and ended on November 19, 1970. [32] [33] After location scouting in Europe, including the Guinness brewery in Ireland and a real-life chocolate factory in Spain, production designer Harper Goff decided to house the factory sets and the massive Chocolate Room at Bavaria Studios. [34] It was also significantly cheaper than filming in the United States, and the primary shooting locations in Munich, Bavaria, West Germany, made the setting conducive to Wonka's factory. Stuart also liked the ambiguity and unfamiliarity of the location. [35] [36] Locations [ edit ] Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory". reelstreets.com. Reelstreets.

Johnny Depp was the only actor that Burton had considered for the role. [16] He signed on without reading the script, under the intention of going with a completely different approach than what Gene Wilder did in the 1971 film adaptation. [17] "Regardless of what one thinks of that film," Depp explained, " Gene Wilder's persona, his character, stands out." [12] Depp stated on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that he based the character on what he believed an "incredibly stoned" George W. Bush would act like. [18] Semigran, Aly (September 27, 2016).

Because there was no "widescreen" release, fans' petitions eventually led Warner Home Video to issue a letterboxed version on November 13, 2001. [65] Several original cast members reunited to film a "making-of" documentary titled Pure Imagination: The Story of 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'. The two format editions featured restored sound and better picture quality. In addition to the Pure Imagination feature, the DVD included a trailer, a gallery and audio commentary by the cast. [65] It was also released on VHS, with only one of the special features (the Pure Imagination documentary). [66]
