Timothée Chalamet To Play Willy Wonka In New Origin Tale From Warner Bros And The Roald Dahl Story Co". Although the book has always been popular and considered a children's classic by many literary critics, a number of prominent individuals have spoken unfavourably of the novel over the years. On November 27, 2018, Netflix and The Roald Dahl Story Company jointly announced that Netflix would be extending the Roald Dahl universe of stories for global family audiences with an exclusive new slate of original animated event series, based on the books from the acclaimed and award-winning author’s best-selling library, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG, The Twits, and many other beloved titles. His stomach empty, his body shivering and the wonderful aroma permeating from Willy Wonka's factory, the dejected boy sees something sticking out of the snow. Amongst other things, Dahl was unhappy with the foregrounding of Wonka over Charlie, and disliked the musical score.

The three boys and their families discontinue the tour after they are taken to cool off "in the large refrigerator for a few hours.

and almost always featuring musical numbers by all the main characters (Wonka, Charlie, Grandpa Joe, Violet, Veruca, etc. It's a children's story that also steps outside children's and people aren't used to seeing Dahl in that way. Willy Wonka, the owner of the chocolate factory, a man who makes Charles Montgomery Burns look reasonable, holds a competition to allow a small number of children into his factory to select one of them to be his successor. The latter film has the big-name director (Tim Burton) and the big-budget special effects; but the older film, to my mind, captures better the spirit of the novel, with Gene Wilder expressing the offbeat qualities of the Wonka character in a powerful and nuanced manner.

One by one, tickets emerge when children purchase bars upon bars: first Augustus Gloop, then Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Mike Teavee. The ride featured a boat section, where guests travel around the chocolate factory in bright pink boats on a chocolate river. What's more, it's because of this that his dad *loses* his shitty job, and his family is starving to death.

Anything I can say about this book is true for the majority of Roal Dahl's work I read so far: magical, twisted, whimsical, imaginative and full of characters of questioning morals!
