I have to say, the pitch-changing of songs to avoid copyright claims made me laugh the most! My aunt told a story about her daughter being a brat once when they were shopping, wanting everything. finally she was told to choose one thing and she said "I don't know, I just want SOMETHING!" so my aunt gave her a swift kick up the backside and said "There, now you got something."
Awesome Auntie!! 👏👏👏
That's freaking hilarious 😂
Hahaha, I'm remembering this one.
That... that right there is how you parent. Auntie parenting better than the parents. Wanna act like a brat, get a swift kick in the ass.
Lol. Irl Veruca. Bet she learned not to do that anymore
Lol! James: "everything is edible!?--ooh gummybears!"
That made me laugh
Yes! I caught that too😂😂
That's my favorite part of this great reaction. ...ooh gummy bears!
Don't pretend we all haven't been there.
16:07 I love how confidently Mrs. Teevee identifies the song as being by Rachmaninoff when it is in fact a section of The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart.
umm where?
@@identidem It’s at 14:50. Not sure if the video was edited or I had a complete typo.
Gene Wilder is an absolute treasure! Just an incredible person and amazing performer.
He was great to his fans. I remember sending him a letter, late in his life.
I still have his letter in response. He answered my questions about he and Gilda, and he just came across honest through his written word.
See No Evil Hear No Evil was ace.
@@roberthereandthere4366 he and Pryor had such great chemistry
@@Deepthoughtsabound Completely agree.
@@roberthereandthere4366 and Stir Crazy!
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was my dad's favorite movies (God rest his soul)
Based on a book by Roald Dahl. When we were kids at school in the UK in the 1970s the teachers would read Roald Dahl books and short stories to us constantly.
Same here in U.S. in the 80s. Well, just one particular school, can't speak for any others.
Here’s a fun fact for everyone, Gene Wilder did some crazy shit that only he and the director know about. Examples: when he tumbled at the gate meeting kids, they didn’t know about it, they thought something was actually wrong with Gene, same with singing in the boat, he came up with that off the cuff which is why they were freaking out. And finally none of the actors except Gene knew what the candy room looked like. So all the reactions you see in the kids and parents faces are all real.
It’s such a twisted fact, but it’s all true.
Love this!
Gene's logic on the fall/roll at the beginning was to give you feeling that you can't quit trust Wonka. That there is something just a bit off and untrustworthy about him. The rest of the movie keeps this up. But that is the first moment in the movie that you get a glimpse of it.
Wilder limping was his own idea. He said he would only accept the role if he could play the scene that way to indicate Wonka's tricky sense of humor and that he can't be fully trusted, that there is something secretive underlying his actions.
The teacup was wax, Wilder spat out the chunks that he bit into
When Wonka yelled at Charlie at the end he had no idea why, the look of shock on his face was 100% authentic.
"See no evil, hear no evil" - a great comedy with Gene Wilder - will have you laughing to tears.
Just popped in the comments to recommend this one too. After “See no evil, Hear no evil”, (Gene Wilder and Richard Prior) James should watch “Brewster’s Millions” (a Richard Prior and John Candy movie).
I remember that tunnel scene being scarier than most horror movies to me as a kid lol. But I loved this movie regardless. The remake is cool but I still prefer this version. 💜
You are not lying, I was mortified as a child
honestly that's my favorite part, even as a kid.
😊that was my favorite scene kat
@@paddywop918 Same honestly lol I love horror so I simultaneously enjoyed it.
@@only257 Same! Love horror movies so I actually enjoyed being creeped out by it lol
This one is a very beloved classic. I don't know anyone of my age group who doesn't know and love it. The band "Primus" released an album that was entirely covers of the songs in this film, done in an odd, dark-carnival type theme. They called the album "Primus and The Chocolate Factory," and dedicated it to the memory of Gene Wilder. In five copies of the CD were enclosed a Golden Ticket, which allow the bearer free admission to any Primus show, in perpetuity.
The scene where Charlie slowly peels the wrapper and we see a small glimmer of gold always fills me with joy every time. That was expertly directed and well paced. I've rewatched this movie countless times in my life and yet I still don't get enough of it.
This has to be the best reaction to one of my top fave movies ever cuz u take the time to show how each kid gets kicked out and CHARLIE WINS!!😁🥰
This movie is my childhood!!!! It's crazy to me you've never seen this!!!!
This might be the movie I'm most surprised you haven't seen. Love love love Gene Wilder
James, you are KILLING it with the Friday content! This movie holds a nostalgic place in my heart.
Wonka's nonchalant way of warning the kids of the dangers in his factory is the best. "...stop...don't...come back...". Like he doesn't really care, but he's contractually obligated to at least look like he made an attempt. It's so great.
I have probably seen this movie at least twice a year for the last 25 years. Love this movie so much.
I am just so saddened by the death of Her Majesty, the Queen.
Mostly because she went to that auction to buy the very last case of Wonka bars in the UK, and still didn't get one golden ticket.
I only hope that Wonka himself finally found the time to answer her urgent letter before it was too late.
Born in 85 my mom would put this movie on for me when I was 3-5 years old and she said I would watch this from sunrise to sunset everyday for months. The original Swiss Family Robinson is also another I remember i watched a million times
Omgoodness yes! 🥰🥰🥰
I own both the original and remake. My grandkids love them. So do I. ❤
I loved LOVED LOVED this reaction!
I remember seeing this movie, and Willy Wonka was funny& scary all at once!
It really wasn't until I was grown up that I saw how much Willy loved Charlie and hoped for a child he could trust with his factory.
This movie has so many great lessons..and Charlie brings it home in the end!
Charlie is the kid who makes us hope that we do the right things in our life too!
I would have to consider this for a place in my top 10 favourite movies of all time, it means that much to me.
You don't have to memorize the whole Oompa Loompa songs, just the beginning : "OOMPA LOOMPA DOOPITY DOO, I'VE GOT ANOTHER RIDDLE FOR YOU!"
I have seen this movie probably more than any other in my lifetime. Just classic.
One of my absolute favorite movies! ❤
This is such a nice family film, I'm glad it's a classic that's stood the test of time. Gene Wilder is a gem.
My favorite all time film. With one of my fav all time actors, Gene Wilder. Been watching this since the early 80's
Love this movie!
Also the Tunnel Scene was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
What this movie does excellently is basically transport you, the viewer, to this strange world where no one is quite normal. It seems real enough, but sometimes things feel off, like you're in a dream.
The actors' reactions in the tunnel were real. They weren't told what was going to be projected onto the walls, and Wonka's singing added to the creepy factor.
As a kid I loved this film and watched it over and over.
Charlie/Peter Ostrum never appeared in another movie, but became a veterinarian and today practices in upstate New York.
As a child, I had a bit of a crush on Veruca Salt. 😆
Peter Ostrum ("Charlie") grew up to become a veterinarian.
Willy Wonka gave me one of my first "wow!" moments in the movies. I was in fifth grade (this was the late '90s) and had already seen the film before. But my mom and my younger brother and I went to a summer outdoor movie night at our big park in my hometown, and watched it on a giant screen as the sun went down. When Charlie found the last ticket, kids and parents alike burst into loud applause and cheers. It was one of the first "magic of the movies" moments I had, and I feel like too many people forget about the "magic" of it nowadays, which is unfortunate.
It's great when an adult watches a movie I've seen since I was kid get so much joy out of it. The last time I saw this film in full, I cried all through it because it was the day Gene Wilder died. Love all the book-reading; I'm a reader too.
I absolutely loved this film as a child. Today, I look back on it with fondness because of the moral story, the crazy antics, and Gene Wilder's performance, and of course the musical numbers are great too. When I was a kid though, I just loved the idea that there could be a candy store out there somewhere that I could one day win, or at least have a wacky adventure in like Charlie and Grandpa Joe.
This was my favorite childhood movie because I loved the music! I still sing every song 😊
I work as a nanny and I love when my charges get to the age we can watch this together. So many good lessons
"oompa loompa" has a click to it. it stays with you. i know, i'm 54 now, and i still hear it in my head! lol
The more recent version with Johnny Depp was ok but nothing can top this one!!! I absolutely love it!!!❤️
Interesting fact: both Jack Albertson (Grandpa Joe) and Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka) were nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 1968, for "The Subject Was Roses" and "The Producers," respectively. Jack Albertson ended up winning the award. On a personal note, he and I share a birthday. :)
After the mom said there were 100 billion people in the world, i had to google it. There were 3.7 billion people in the world when this movie was released, and we're about to reach 8 billion by this November, currently at 7.97 billion.
You can watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp and Wonka with Timothe Chamolet from Dune. Some of Gene’s best: Silver Streak, The Producers, Stir Crazy, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankenstein. The actor who played Charlie actually became a Cornell educated Vet. Some of the cast members were on an episode of Top Chef.Mike TV did a surprise episode of Jeopardy. Veruca Salt the spoiled girl was honored by a band using her character’s name. There is a RUclips theory that Wonka was a killer! Supposedly each child and Wonka represents the Seven Deadly Sins with Wonka being Wrath. Lots of theories on this film from fans!
I honestly cannot remember what town this was filmed in, but Mel Stuart said in an interview he specifically wanted to find a place that was unrecognizable in the real world. A place that was not a major city or a landmark that anyone can just look at and go "oh yea i been there before". He wanted the movie to feel like it existed outside of our world.
I remember watching this as a kid and relating Grandpa Joe with own grandfather. I don’t know why I related them, but I did, and because of that I will forever hold this movie a special place in my heart.
This was filmed in the Bavaria region of Germany. The final scene town is Nördlingen.
I LOVE this classic movie! When I was a kid, the boat tunnel scene scared me to death!!! But now, it is my favorite scene!
Scared me to death too
Each new reaction is a treat! Great job!
Peter Ostrum (Charlie) pretty much got right out of showbiz after this, and went on to become a veterinarian.
Paris Themmen (Mike) has been in and out of acting, and was even a contestant on Jeopardy! (Air date: 3/13/2018).
Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca) has arguably had the steadiest acting career of the former kids, though she is certified as both a psychotherapist and a fitness instructor.
Michael Bollner (Augustus) was pretty much one and done: he's kept himself out of the spotlight ever since, no mean feat for such a beloved film. He's apparently now an accountant in Munich.
Denise Nickerson (Violet) is no longer with us: she died of pneumonia in July in 2019.
This movie takes me back to my childhood. I remember rushing home on my bike to see this movie every time it was broadcast on TV because I loved it sooo much!!! Ahhh such wonderful carefree memories. Thank you for reacting to this awesome classic!!! 😍
Gene Wilder is a lot of my childhood and I hope he's resting peacefully with all the joy he brought into so many lives 😇
For some of his best - The Producers (1967), Young Frankenstein (1974), Blazing Saddles (1974). All of those are collaborations with the legendary Mel Brooks.
Also worth watching - See No Evil Hear No Evil (1989), Silver Streak (1976), and The Frisco Kid (1979).
Agree!
And as a child this movie can be as fun as scary!
This is one of those movies that I used to catch every year as a kid
Loved this when I was little and still do thank you for your reaction ❤️
My pleasure!!
Sometimes, when my kids get the gimmes and start begging for stuff, I will very dramatically sing them Veruca Salt’s song and they have to listen to the whole thing, illiciting many eye rolls 😅
Such a huge part of my childhood! It was one of the few movies we had (recorded on VHS tape haha) I watched it so much my mom still hates the movie today.
Bravo, loved this reaction! Another movie I grew up on, it’s very whimsical. 😄 Always liked the little “lesson songs” the Oompa Loompa’s sing after a kid disappears lol
Great reaction. I was born in 1965, and we watched this, chitty chitty bang bang, and the wizard of oz every Thanksgiving.. it was a tradition. Thanks for the memories.
This version, & the new version are both very good. The old one goes very dark for a minute, but is my favorite of the two. Gene Wilder was a great actor, & I have watched almost all his films. Loved him in Blazing Saddles.
Haunted Honeymoon may be my favorite.
My fave is his performance in Silver Streak.
This movie is so iconic, that just a still image of Gene Wilder resting his hand on his cheek in the Everlasting Gobstopper scene is immediately recognizable by the entire internet, even if not everyone has seen the movie. It has been a meme for almost a decade now. Maybe even longer for all I know.
I remember my entire elementary school walking to a theater to see this movie. A few hundred kids walking 9 or 10 blocks. Ah, the 70s, that wouldn't happen today! I'm sentimental about this one. Keep up the great reactions!
The brat is named Verruca Salt. A punk band used her name, as their band name.
"Stop...don't....come back". That still cracks me up!
This is Such a Classic Movie....my FAVORITE childhood movie (besides Star Wars) and Gene Wilder was such a great comedian/actor. ....Great Reaction
I can't believe you have not watched this movie. This movie scared me so much as a child--in the best way.
"Stop. Don't. Come back." LOLOLOL
So some fun facts... this was actually filmed in Germany and this was the only film Peter Ostrum (Charlie) made. He was offered a nice contract but turned it down. Until he retired in September he had been working as a large animal vet for a clinic in upstate New York for 20 years.
As always you make watching the movie even more fun! Keep up the good work!
I saw this in the theater with my brother and sisters when it came out in September 1971, and when we got home we had a new baby brother! So this has always been a special movie for us... and yes, my baby brother just turned 51 😁.
Those Oompa Loompa songs got stuck in our heads so bad that my parents made a rule that anyone caught singing them owed everyone else a quarter 😂.
I watched this movie at least once a year in Elementary School. As an adult, I realize this was my teachers' go-to hangover movie.
If Grandpa Joe could get up for this, He should have gotten up years ago and help support his family!
The movie was heavily funded as an attempt to produce actual candy, and to promote that brand. It's American produced, but largely filmed in Germany due to costs. The real life candy brand no longer exists, as the name was discontinued a few years ago. However, this fantastic family movie still lives on.
Veruca singing in a deeper register and sounding all demonic was perfect lol
I love this movie so much. Probably one of the best movies to come out of the 70s
Such a great movie. I’ve seen it a bunch of times, great pick by patreon
The door lock song was not Rachmaninoff. They put that in the movie to show adults can be wrong even when they act like they know it all.
James (upon meeting Veruca Salt): "I hate her"!
Us: Join the club! LOL
This is truly a wonderful movie... The characters, the story, the acting, it's just superb
This is such a classic Movie. Gene Wilder was a great actor with many great films under his belt. Thanks for watching with us.
"Cheer up, Charlie". Such a sweet song.
Love Gene Wilder, so many good movies with him.
I was 7 years old when I saw this in the theater in 1971. What a great movie for a child!
Great reaction to a very memorable film of my childhood and my kids grew up on it also.
LOVE this movie! Glad you did this one as opposed to the remake.
Me too 👍😊
I was 4 in 1971. I saw this like in 1973 at 6 years old. I was petrified of the boat scene but loved the movie so much i watched it whenever it came on TV. This was before even videos. I am 55 and still love it
This movie was my absolute favorite since it came out. I was only 3 and it means so much to me. The Nostalgia is Huge!!! I adore it so much still
It still cracks me up that Mrs. Teevee smugly says “Rachmaninoff” when Wonka was clearly playing Mozart.
Hello, childhood. I love the humor of this movie, a lot of which went over my head as a kid.
It's AWESOME that you're going back and watching all these classic movies. So much history to uncover.
"I said good day!" 🧐
The book Charlie And The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl is also fantastic, as are so many of Dahl's childrens books.
If I remember correctly, they filmed it in Germany, and right after they finished, they began production on "Cabaret" at the same studio.
The Wonkavator can move in ANY direction you can imagine. Just press a button and you're off. Up until now, he had pressed them all, except for one...the one that makes it go...UP! 😆🤣😂
This movie was played almost every year in school on movie day, around here when I grew up in the 80s.
"I've just decided to change our Friday schedule to Monday, which means the test that we take on Friday on what we've learned during the week will now take place on Monday, before we've learned it. But since today is Tuesday, it doesn't matter in the slightest. Pencils ready!"
Charlie's teacher Mr. Turkentine (I thought it was Turpentine myself for a while) is my favorite character.
Gene Wilder is amazing in this as Willy Wonka. This brings back such good memories of my childhood.
If you’d like to check out more Gene Wilder flicks, I suggest Young Frankenstein, Silver Streak and See No Evil, Hear No Evil.
when I was a kid I was scared to death of Oompa Loompas and the flying monkeys in Wizard of Oz....lol
This past year I took my daughter to a live stage performance of this story. It was at the Tulsa Performing Arts center. It was a nice memory with her. We were in the front row and at the end they shot off Streamers into the air that rained down on us. I think that was my daughters favorite part.
This was written at a time where the TV and movie rules were a little different for kids but I'm glad that this came out when it did because because it's proof that even movies like this can work for kids
“Oh, gummy bears!”
James
Peter Ostrum aka Charlie is now Animal Veterinarian working in New York. Peter was offered a 3-movie deal after this one completed, but he declined the deal. Peter stated that he does not regret of declining the deal. But Peter still does appearances at comic conventions with remaining former kid actors.
