The book and movies I am going to compare are Charlie (Willy Wonka) and the Chocolate Factory. The book was written by British author Roald Dahl. The 1971 film was directed by Mel Stuart and the 2005 film was directed by Tim Burton. The films and books have very good plots and details. Some are very similar; others are very different. It tells the story of a young boy named Charlie Bucket. Charlie, his parents and his four grandparents all live together in a small house. They are poor, hungry, cold and in a desperate situation. The only thing that brightens Charlie's life is the chocolate factory owned by Willy Wonka, located next door. That and the one chocolate bar a year he gets on his birthday. Charlie's grandfather, Joe, seems to know a lot about Wonka's factory and he tells Charlie a bunch of stories: about a chocolate palace that Mr. Wonka built for an Indian prince, and about how he had to close his factory because of spies stealing his recipes. During one of these stories, Charlie's father arrives and announces that Mr. Wonka will open his factory to five lucky children who can find golden tickets in Wonka chocolate bars; the start of a competition! On his birthday, Charlie's whole family hopes that his candy bar contains a Golden Ticket, and guess what? This is not the case. Grandpa Joe even gives him some of the money he saved from his secret stash to buy an extra chocolate bar. Still nothing. One day, as Charlie walks home from school, hungry and cold, he finds some money on the ground and uses it to buy chocolate. And of course, which I'm sure surprised him, he finds his golden ticket. After the tour, Charlie ends up winning the whole factory for being the least ill-behaved kid middle of paper...... the songs generally sound the same, and no one mentions one at the beginning. Other songs include (I've Got a) Golden Ticket and I Want it Now! In the 2005 film, an original song, Willy Wonka's Welcome Song, is sung by puppets at the factory entrance who then catch fire. The Ooompa-Loompa songs use Dahl's original lyrics, although they contain fewer words. Each of these is produced in a different contemporary musical style (Bombay musical, Disco/Jazz, psychedelia, rock). Wonka seems to be the only one who enjoys the songs. Another small difference I noticed between the book and the two film adaptations was Wonka's welcome routine. In the book, he did a little dance. In the 1971 film, he limps out of the factory and then performs a somersault. In the 2005 film, he performs an elaborate automated puppet show that bursts into flames (appears unnoticed and applauds after the show).).
