message: 'There have been some criticisms of racism, colonialism, slavery, and group stereotyping similar to those received by the original 1964 book, in which the Oompa-Loompas were described as dark-skinned pygmies from the African jungle."
The Oompa-Lumpas are depicted as small natives (South-American indigenous in resemblance) not African pygmies, they are completely different. In the 1971 version they hired small American/European midgets.--King of the Dancehall 03:49, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there a chance the Great Glass Elevator book will be made into a movie (alosng the lines of the 2005 remake of course, we already know there's no chance of it being sequel to the 1971 one). --Wack'd About Wiki 20:28, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If there is going to be a sequel to this film, Tim Burton will not make it. Ever. He stated so himself. And this film was so good that it would probably be less successful, both financially and critically, so it would be a waste but that's just my opinion. But knowing Hollywood, there could be a chance that The Glass Elevator could be made, seeing how this film was so successful. But Burton will not have any involvement with it in any way. --Rachel Cakes 06:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The trivia section claims that a great many actors were considered for the role of Grandpa Joe..yet many of those actors had long since passed away well before the script was even written and a director chosen.
*Don Ameche died 1993
*Peter Cushing died 1994
*John Gielgud died 2000
*Alec Guinness died 2000
*Richard Harris died 2002
*Burt Lancaster died 1994
*Jack Lemmon died 2001
*Gregory Peck died 2003
*Donald Pleasance died 1995
How is this possible? There is no citation to back up these claims. IrishGuy 23:46, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Charlie payed $10 for the winning chocolate bar, and chocolate bars cost 10p. Strangely British and American currency is mixed. Also, Charlie never asks for his change and leaves without it, resultng in the shopkeeper making a free $9.90.
This is in error.  Upon close examination of the scene, the shopkeep sets the change before Charlie, then realizes he has the goden ticket.  At the end of the scene, the camera pans away, so we can not confirm if Charlie takes the change or not.  I'm removing it until this can verified further, or worded better.

thread_title:  Continuity Error? 

message: Yes, it does list his name from the cited source:
"Since the late '90s, the idea of making a new Charlie had been kicking around at Warner Bros., and the studio went through a roster of directors who didn't stick until Burton finally signed on. Over the years, Wonka candidates had come and gone too (Jim Carrey, Nicolas Cage, Brad Pitt, and Will Smith). Even Marilyn Manson's name came up at one point, although no one's quite sure whether it was just Manson himself who brought up the notion. I have no idea where that came from, says Charlie producer Brad Grey, who has since been hired to run Paramount Pictures."
There you have it. I wouldn't make up such a weird claim if it wasn't true. LOL. Will Smith as Willy Wonka? Oh well.....Hollywood just works that way. Wildroot (talk) 07:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

but noah taylor who plays Charlie's father does NOT get his link up there.
I think that's really stupid. they had both the same amount of screen time
is this some popularity contest?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.251.134.97 (talk) 05:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The Bucket family appear to be vaguely British and speak received pronunciation, but the script has them using American English phrasing (so 'candy bar' not 'chocolate bar' etc). It would be informative if the article could document this production decision and the reasons behind it. The dialogue sounds distinctly odd to a British audience, and it's not clear why Burton didn't choose to make the Buckets Americans. --Ef80 (talk) 16:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

message: To the guy who removed my edit: The plot, as it is, is wrong at the end.
Charlie does reject Wonka's offer at first, but then some other events happen and afterwards he does accept the offer, with one condition.
That part is missing, making the plot wrong and incomplete! Naki (talk) 13:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
