Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 American musical fantasy film directed by Mel Stuart, and starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.
 It is an adaptation of the 1964 novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl.
 Dahl was credited with writing the film's screenplay; however, David Seltzer, who went uncredited in the film, was brought in to re-work Dahl's screenplay against his wishes, making major changes to the ending and adding musical numbers.
 These changes and other decisions made by the director led Dahl to disown the film.

The Willy Wonka Candy Company is a British brand of confectionery owned and licensed by Swiss corporation Nestlé.

 The brand was launched in 1971, coinciding with the release of the novel's first film adaptation.
 In 1988 the Willy Wonka Candy Company brand – then owned by Sunmark Corporation – was acquired by Nestlé.

 In mid-2015 the Willy Wonka brand name was dropped by Nestlé, in favour of special "throwback" packaging.
 Candies previously made by the Willy Wonka brand are now under the Nestlé brand naming, excluding the Wonka brand name on the top left corner.
