***Charlie Bucket*** is the main protagonist of the TV show of the same name and Charlie In The Wonka City. He was created by Swiss filmmaker Otmar Gutmann in 1986. He is voiced by Carlo Bonomi, David Sant & Ryota Iwasaki.

## Bio

Charlie lives in America with his parents and younger sister Violet Beauregarde. He also has two grandfathers, several aunts and two cousins.

Charlie has caught some attention of a female spoiled brat named Veruca Salt. When Veruca was first introduced at American Public School, Mr. Turkentine greets her, and he finds a place for her to sit. Unlike his friends, Charlie did not wanted anything to do with her. He spreads out his things all over his desk and puts his legs wide apart to make it seem as though there is no room at his desk. He is infuriated when Mr. Turkentine picks his seat anyway. Mike Teevee offers Veruca Salt a lollipop, which she takes and offers to Charlie, but he refuses, so she gives it back to Mike. She then draws a heart shape and offers that to Charlie, and he snaps at her, earning himself a reprimand from the schoolmaster, who firmly orders him to be nice to her.

On their way home after school, Veruca follows Charlie and wants a hug, however, when Charlie lets her have a piece of his mind, she freaks out. Charlie walks away, and Veruca throws a snowball at him. He throws one back in retaliation, but it goes through the window of a nearby house. Charlie and Veruca both hide in a barrel to escape the wrath of the house's irate owner, and they end up falling in love and they eventually start a relationship.

Charlie eventually moved to the city, when or how this happened has never been explained, it's possible that Charlie's family decided to move somewhere different.

## Personality

**Charlie Bucket** is the protagonist of the novel *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* and its sequel *Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.*

## Appearance

Although Charlie does not have a final in the book or in the film of 2005, he approaches one in the 1971 film, in the theater versions and in the first draft of the book called "Charlie's Chocolate Boy". In "Charlie's Chocolate Boy", he is cashed in a Chocolate Boy Mold and taken to Mr. Wonka's house as a gift for Charlie II Wonka, Willy's son. It comes out of this being a witness to a burglary and helping to catch the scammers. As a reward, Mr. Wonka offers him his sweets shop, called "Charlie's Chocolate Shop". In the 1971 film (and numerous theatrical versions) when he and grandpa Joe drink the Fizzy Lifting Drink they started to float. But when they reach the ceiling, they are almost killed by a giant fan and a killer piano, and they are saved when they burp. Wonka initially seems unaware but eventually finds out and tells them that they do not get any prize because Charlie violated the contract. Charlie nevertheless returns a gobstopper that Wonka informs him that he has actually won, but the prize has not been a lifetime supply of chocolate, but the same chocolate factory. Wonka reveals it to an employee who acts to see which child would give the bait to steal the gobstopper as a sort of moral test. Charlie Bucket is the boy who deserved the ticket most of all.
