The Oompa-Loompas - Roald Dahl Roald Dahl Description "'Of course they're real people,' Mr Wonka answered. 'They're Oompa-Loompas.'" - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Oompa-Loompas feature in two of Roald Dahl's stories: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - which has since been adapted for two films, an opera and a stage musical - and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. The Oompa-Loompas are from Loompaland, which Mr Wonka describes as a terrible place. "Nothing but thick jungles infested by the most dangerous beasts in the world - hornswogglers and snozzwangers and those terrible wicked whangdoodles," he tells Charlie Bucket and the other Golden Ticket winners. Loompaland is such a terrible place that when Mr Wonka invited the Ooompa-Loompas to come back to his Chocolate Factory, they leapt at the chance. Now they live and work there, helping Mr Wonka with his experiments and generally keeping his Chocolate Factory going. The Oompa-Loompas enjoy singing and dancing. They're always making up songs.

Their favourite food is the cacao bean, the central ingredient in a bar of chocolate, and in the Wonka Factory they have access to as many cacao beans as they could possibly wish for. In the original book, the Oompa-Loompas are described as "tiny" people with "funny long hair." The iconic visual representation of them having orange skin and green hair comes from the 1971 film adaptation. About Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Oompa-Loompa | Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Wiki Share once upon a time Oompa-Loompas are known for their short stature, green hair, orange skin and white lederhosen but after the great recession they dispersed and farted everywhere. In early editions of the novel, Oompa-Loompas are shown as African pygmies. Following growing controversy and criticism, in later editions of the book, Oompa-Loompas are white skinned and golden haired. Oompa Lompas come from Loompaland, which is a region of Loompa, a small isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Oompa-Loompas would end up being preyed upon or attacked by wicked Whangdoodles, Hornswogglers and Snozzwangers, which also lived there. Willy Wonka ended up inviting them to work at the Factory and get away from their natural predators. In the book, Oompa-Loompas are the only people Willy Wonka will allow to work in his Factory, because of the risk of industrial espionage committed by his candy-making rivals. Oompa-Loompas are only knee-high, with astonishing haircuts , and are paid in their favorite food, cacao beans, which were extremely rare in their island. Oompa-Loompas insist on maintaining their native clothing: men wear skins, women wear leaves, and children wear nothing (in the 1971 film, the Oompa Loompas wore striped shirts and baggy lederhosen, in the 2005 film, the Oompa Loompas wore tribal clothing in their native Loompaland and typical factory worker uniforms in the factory).

In the 1971 film the male Oompa-Loompas are seen working in the factory, in the 2005 film only three female worker, a secretary Mr. Wonka addresses as Doris (when the Great Glass Elevator passes through the administration offices) is seen, though in Quentin Blake's illustrations both male and female Oompa-Loompas are shown rolling away Violet Beauregarde after her transformation into a blueberry. Presumably the females remain in the village seen briefly from the Great Glass Elevator. Oompa Loompas in Red Oompa-Loompas are also mischievous, love practical jokes, singing and are very good at improvising according to Willy Wonka. As each bad child makes his/her exit, the Oompa-Loompas sing moralising songs accompanied by a drum beat, and tend to speak in rhyme. In the 2005 film production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starring Johnny Depp , Kenyan - Indian actor Deep Roy played all 165 Oompa Loompas. Deep Roy took pilates and dance classes to prepare for the role.

Home > Fact > Ouch Q&A: Oompa-Loompas Ouch Q&A: Oompa-Loompas by Ouch Team 25th July 2005 Everything you ever wanted to know about the ultimate 'little people'(or people of restricted growth) - the Oompa-Loompas from Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Q: What is an Oompa-Loompa? A: Oompa-Loompas are the 'little people' - characters of restricted growth, if you like - featured in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the classic childrens' book by Roald Dahl.

They live and work in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, making all the candy delights: marshmallows that taste of violets, caramels that change colour every ten seconds, and chewing gum that never loses its taste. Q: Why are we talking about them now? A: Because they're back again thanks to the cinema release of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie re-make, directed by Tim Burton. It goes on general release on Friday 29 July across the UK, and stars Johnny Depp. Q: These characters work in the factory, you say? A: Yes. But no one knows about them. You see, Willy Wonka had this issue. It was well recognised by rival candy companies - like those run by Mr Prodnose and Mr Slugworth - that Wonka made the best sweets in the whole world. So they sent spies in as workers to steal the secrets and improve their own products. Well, when Mr Wonka discovered this, he had no option but to shut the factory down. Everyone was sad at the closure and they were very surprised a few months later when, without warning, the factory started up again. But no workers went in and none ever came out! Who was running the factory now?

At the beginning of the story, Charlie's Grandpa Joe explains: "... that is one of the great mysteries of the chocolate-making world. We know only one thing about them. They are very small. The faint shadows that sometimes appear behind the windows, especially late at night when the lights are on, are those of tiny people, people no taller than my knee." Q: So where did they come from? A: They came from Loompaland, of course. Willy Wonka describes Loompaland as: "Nothing but thick jungles infested by the most dangerous beasts in the world - hornswogglers and snozzwangers and those terrible wicked whangdoodles." Wangdoodles, it seems, would eat 10 Oompa-Loompas for breakfast and then come back for more. So you can kind of see why Wonka described the place as "terrible". Willy offered the Oompa-Loompas a home and, in return, they work for him. "When I went out there, I found the little Oompa-Loompas living in tree houses.

They had to live in tree houses to escape from the whangdoodles and the hornswogglers and the snozzwangers. And they were living on green caterpillars, and the caterpillars tasted revolting ..." The Oompa-Loompas loved the cacao bean most of all and, being a chocolate factory, Wonka had loads of these and the deal was struck. Q: Do we know anything else about Oompa-Loompas? A: Roald Dahl wrote that the male Oompa-Loompas wear deer skins, the females wear leaves, and the children wear nothing at all. We know that they're a happy folk, though possibly with a dark edge. In the book, Wonka explains to one of the golden ticket winners, Violet Beauregarde, that: "They're always laughing! They think everything's a colossal joke!" It seems that Wonka is a little unethical with the little folk and uses them to test new products out on.

Butterscotch and Buttergin is their favourite tipple, and they're probably best known for their rather dark rhymes and songs that they sing as each of the golden ticket winners exits the story thanks to their own greedy confectionary-based misadventures. Can you sing: "Oompa Loompa loompety loo?" The original film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), starring Gene Wilder, portrayed them as rather dour looking, a bit orange too - a mysteriously intense and jowelly tribal folk. You pays your money, you takes your choice. In the new 2005 film, though, the Oompa-Loompas are a bit more space-age, dressed in modern factory wear, with colourful dungarees and slicked-back hair. Q: So who plays the Oompa-Loompas in the new movie? A: There are 165 Oompa-Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Interestingly though, they are all played by just one actor; one man duplicated many times by the magic of cinema and CGI.

His name is Deep Roy, and at four foot and four inches he's a real life person of restricted growth. Roy previously worked with director Tim Burton in the movies Big Fish and Planet of the Apes. His debut was as an asassin in The Pink Panther Strikes Again, and he also appeared in Van Helsing. The movie trickery goes one stage further though. The singing voices you hear in the Oompa-Loompa song and the dance routines is not that of Roy. Instead, the vocals are by film soundtrack supremo Danny Elfman, who is perhaps best known for writing the score for The Simpsons cartoon series and the modern cute horror musical animation The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Stops the people who offer to buy it from him. Mrs. Salt, Veruca's mother Fat, ugly blonde woman named Angina. Teaches geography. Skinny, beautiful blonde-haired woman, possibly a "trophy wife". Mike Teavee Obsessed with television and gangsters. Obsessed with television, the Internet, and likes video games, particularly first-person shooter games. He also is much more intelligent than the previous Mikes. This Mike's character fault focuses more on his anger than his TV habit. Wonka's welcome routine Does a little dance. Has an elaborate, automated puppet show that bursts into flames (appears unnoticed and applauds after the show). I think I'm going to be sick! / "Now I am going to be sick!" Mrs.

Teavee says the lines on the high-speed elevator ride to which Wonka offers her his hat to vomit into, the second being said when Mr. Wonka says there is another elevator on the same track, with which they might have a collision. The lines are not said. Charlie's Golden Ticket Charlie does not find a ticket in the bar that he gets for his birthday, or the one he buys with the dime Grandpa Joe gives him or the 1st bar he buys with money found on the street. He then buys another bar and finds the ticket. Charlie gets a chocolate bar 1 day early for his birthday, no ticket; he then buys a chocolate bar using Grandpa Joe's secret hoard money, no ticket. Charlie buys only one candy bar at a Newsagent with money he finds on the street & finds the ticket. Charlie's location Not stated, but most assume UK because of author. Versions published in the UK say that Charlie found a fifty-pence piece, further corroborating this. However, it is stated in the versions published in North America that Charlie found a dollar bill.

Wonka says that not even Oompa Loompas are permitted into the Inventing Room; however, Mr. Wonka later calls a couple of Oompa Loompas into the room to roll Violet to the Juicing Room. Several Oompa Loompas are seen making and testing candy even before Violet turns into a blueberry. Songs Oompa-Loompas sing songs about each of the bad children. An original song, "Willy Wonka's Welcome Song," is sung by puppets at the factory entrance. The Ooompa-Loompa songs use Dahl's original lyrics, although they have fewer words. Each of the latter is done in a different contemporary musical style. Oompa Loompa's songs Impromptu, but suspected by Mr. Salt and Mike Teavee to be rehearsed. Swearing Wonka's description of one of the Oompa Loompas as an "ass" is clearly a reference to donkey (hence, ass)-like stupidity or slowness. This is not a reference to the completely different "arse", which Dahl - as a Welsh writer - well knew.

Grandpa George mutters "hell", and is heard saying the first syllable of "bugger" before Charlie's father covers his son's ears during George's explicit rant.

Charlie with Grandpa Joe; Augustus with his mother, Mike with his father; Veruca with her father; Violet with her mother Wonka's poem in tunnel Wonka excitedly sings a song about the unknown direction of the boat. Wonka sings no song; He simply says, "There's no knowing where they're (Oompa Loompa's) going." Getting out of bed When he sees the Golden Ticket, Grandpa Joe leaps out of bed yelling "Yipee!" When he sees the Golden Ticket, Grandpa Joe leaps out of bed yelling, "Yipee!" and does a little dance. Wonka's father Not mentioned.

None mentioned, but Mike describes how he used algorithm to find his ticket. Wonka later calls Mike, "The little devil who cracked the system."

Augustus Gloop's appearance Judging from the illustrations in all releases from the book, he is dressed in a purple shirt with tan pants . A red striped sweater with blue jeans shorts. Ending Wonka picks up the Bucket family in the Great Glass Elevator.

They blast off into outer space, paving way for the sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Wonka says Charlie must abandon his family. Charlie rejects Wonka's offer and eventually helps him reconcile with his father. In the end, Wonka moves the house to his factory. Whips (for making whipped cream) Mentioned as being stored in a separate room. Wonka says that whipped cream "is not whipped cream at all unless it's been whipped with whips." Also says that a poached egg is not such "unless it's been stolen from the woods in the dead of night". Process of using whips shown; a cow is suspended by straps from the ceiling while being whipped by several Oompa-Loompas. After Charlie correctly tells Wonka that they are making whipped cream, Veruca says it doesn't make sense. Adult companions Two permitted per child except for Charlie. Only one permitted.

Mrs. Beauregarde is said to disapprove of Voilet's gum chewing, but none the less encourages her to try the three-course-dinner gum against Wonka's advice. Only Mr. Salt and Mr. Teavee are critical of their bad children (though Mr. Salt tries to hide his criticalness from his daughter so her feelings won't be hurt). Mrs. Beauregarde, however, becomes critical of her daughter at the near-end of the film. Charlie's dad Loses job when cap-screw factory closes due to bankruptcy. Loses job when automated machines take over, but later gets a new job maintaining them. Prince Pondicherry Wonka builds him a palace made of chocolate and warns him that it will not last long.

Augustus Gloop! The great big greedy nincompoop! How long could we allow this beast To gorge and guzzle, feed and feast On everything he wanted to? Great Scott! It simply wouldn’t do! However long this pig might live, We’re positive he’d never give Even the smallest bit of fun Or happiness to anyone.

So what we do in cases such As this, we use the gentle touch, And carefully we take the brat And turn him into something that Will give great pleasure to us all– A doll, for instance, or a ball, Or marbles or a rocking horse. But this revolting boy, of course, Was so unutterably vile, So greedy, foul, and infantile He left a most disgusting taste Inside our mouths, and so in haste We chose a thing that, come what may, Would take the nasty taste away. ‘Come on!’ we cried, ‘The time is ripe To send him shooting up the pipe! He has to go! It has to be!’ And very soon, he’s going to see Inside the room to which he’s gone Some funny things are going on. But don’t, dear children, be alarmed; Augustus Gloop will not be harmed, Although, of course, we must admit He will be altered quite a bit.

He’ll be quite changed from what he’s been, When he goes through the fudge machine: Slowly, the wheels go round and round, The cogs begin to grind and pound; A hundred knives go slice, slice, slice; We add some sugar, cream, and spice; We boil him for a minute more, Until we’re absolutely sure That all the greed and all the gall Is boiled away for once and all. Then out he comes! And now! By grace! A miracle has taken place! This boy, who only just before Was loathed by men from shore to shore, This greedy brute, this louse’s ear, Is loved by people everywhere! For who could hate or bear a grudge Against a luscious bit of fudge?” (from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) “Dear friends, we surely all agree There’s almost nothing worse to see Than some repulsive little bum Who’s always chewing chewing gum. (It’s very near as bad as those Who sit around and pick the nose). So please believe us when we say That chewing gum will never pay; This sticky habit’s bound to send The chewer to a sticky end. Did any of you ever know A person called Miss Bigelow?

This dreadful woman saw no wrong In chewing, chewing all day long. She chewed while bathing in the tub, She chewed while dancing at her club, She chewed in church and on the bus; It really was quite ludicrous! And when she couldn’t find her gum, She’d chew up the linoleum, Or anything that happened near– A pair of boots, the postman’s ear, Or other people’s underclothes, And once she chewed her boy friend’s nose. She went on chewing till, at last, Her chewing muscles grew so vast That from her face her giant chin Stuck out just like a violin. For years and years she chewed away, Consuming fifty packs a day, Until one summer’s eve, alas, A horrid business came to pass. Miss Bigelow went late to bed, For half an hour she lay and read, Chewing and chewing all the while Like some great clockwork crocodile. At last, she put her gum away Upon a special little tray, And settled back and went to sleep– (She managed this by counting sheep). But now, how strange!

Although she slept, Those massive jaws of hers still kept On chewing, chewing through the night, Even with nothing there to bite. They were, you see, in such a groove They positively had to move. And very grim it was to hear In pitchy darkness, loud and clear, This sleeping woman’s great big trap Opening and shutting, snap-snap-snap! The noise went on, it wouldn’t stop. Until at last her jaws decide To pause and open extra wide, And with the most tremendous chew They bit the lady’s tongue in two. Thereafter, just from chewing gum, Miss Bigelow was always dumb, And spent her life shut up in some Disgusting sanatorium. And that is why we’ll try so hard To save Miss Violet Beauregard From suffering an equal fate. She’s still quite young. It’s not too late, Provided she survives the cure. We hope she does. We can’t be sure.” (from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) “Veruca Salt, the little brute, Has just gone down the garbage chute, (And as we very rightly thought That in a case like this we ought To see the thing completely through, We’ve polished off her parents, too.) Down goes Veruca!

Down the drain! And here, perhaps, we should explain That she will meet, as she descends, A rather different set of friends To those that she has left behind– These won’t be nearly so refined. A fish head, for example, cut This morning from a halibut. ‘Hello! Good morning! How d’you do? How nice to meet you! How are you?’ And then a little further down A mass of others gather round: A bacon rind, some rancid lard, A loaf of bread gone stale and hard, A steak that nobody could chew, An oyster from an oyster stew, Some liverwurst so old and gray One smelled it from a mile away, A rotten nut, a reeky pear, A thing the cat left on the stair, And lots of other things as well, Each with a rather horrid smell. These are Veruca’s new found friends That she will meet as she descends, And this is the price she has to pay For going so very far astray.

But now, my dears, we think you might Be wondering–is it really right That every single bit of blame And all the scolding and the shame Should fall upon Veruca Salt? Is she the only one at fault? For though she’s spoiled, and dreadfully so, A girl can’t spoil herself, you know. Who spoiled her, then? Ah, who indeed? Who pandered to her every need? Who turned her into such a brat? Who are the culprits? Who did that? Alas! You needen’t look so far To find out who these sinners are. They are (and this is very sad) Her loving parents, MUM and DAD. And that is why we’re glad they fell Into the garbage chute as well.” (from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) “The most important thing we’ve learned, So far as children are concerned, Is never, NEVER, NEVER let Them near your television set– Or better still, just don’t install The idiotic thing at all. In almost every house we’ve been, We’ve watched them gaping at the screen. They loll and slop and lounge about, And stare until their eyes pop out.

(Last week in someone’s place we saw A dozen eyeballs on the floor.) They sit and stare and stare and sit Until they’re hypnotised by it, Until they’re absolutely drunk With all the shocking ghastly junk. Oh yes, we know it keeps them still, They don’t climb out the window sill, They never fight or kick or punch, They leave you free to cook the lunch And wash the dishes in the sink– But did you ever stop to think, To wonder just exactly what This does to your beloved tot? IT ROTS THE SENSES IN THE HEAD! IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD! IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS UP THE MIND! IT MAKES A CHILD SO DULL AND BLIND HE CAN NO LONGER UNDERSTAND A FANTASY, A FAIRYLAND! HIS BRAIN BECOMES AS SOFT AS CHEESE! HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND FREEZE! HE CANNOT THINK–HE ONLY SEES! ‘All right!’ you’ll cry. ‘All right!’ you’ll say, ‘But if we take the set away, What shall we do to entertain Our darling children?

Please explain!’ We’ll answer this by asking you, ‘What used the darling ones to do? ‘How used they keep themselves contented Before this monster was invented?’ Have you forgotten? Don’t you know? We’ll say it very loud and slow: THEY…USED…TO…READ! They’d READ and READ, AND READ and READ, and then proceed To READ some more. Great Scott! Gadzooks! One half their lives was reading books! The nursery shelves held books galore! Books cluttered up the nursery floor! And in the bedroom, by the bed, More books were waiting to be read! Such wondrous, fine, fantastic takes Of dragons, gypsies, queens, and whales And treasure isles, and distant shores Where smugglers rowed with muffled oars, And pirates wearing purple pants, And sailing ships and elephants, And cannibals crouching ’round the pot, Stirring away at something hot. (It smells so good, what can it be? Good gracious, it’s Penelope.) The younger ones had Beatrix Potter With Mr. Tod, the dirty rotter, And Squirrel Nutkin, Pigling Bland, And Mrs.

Tiggy-Winkle and– Just How The Camel Got His Hump, And How The Monkey Lost His Rump, And Mr. Toad, and bless my soul, There’s Mr. Rat and Mr. Mole– Oh, books, what books they used to know, Those children living long ago! So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, Go throw your TV set away, And in its place you can install A lovely bookshelf on the wall. Then fill the shelves with lots of books, Ignoring all the dirty looks, The screams and yells, the bites and kicks, And children hitting you with sticks– Fear not, because we promise you That, in about a week or two Of having nothing else to do, They’ll now begin to feel the need Of having something good to read. And once they start–oh boy, oh boy! You watch the slowly growing joy That fills their hears.

They’ll grow so keen They’ll wonder what they’d ever seen In that ridiculous machine, (from Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator) “If you are old and have the shakes, If all your bones are full of aches, If you can hardly walk at all, If living drives you up the wall, If you’re a grump and full of spite, If you’re a human parasite, THEN WHAT YOU NEED IS WONKA-VITE! Your eyes will shine, your hair will grow, Your face and skin will start to glow, Your rotten teeth will all drop ou And in their place new teeth will sprout. Those rolls of fat around your hips Will vanish, and your wrinkled lips Will get so soft and rosy-pink That all the boys will smile and wink And whisper secretly that this Is just the girl they want to kiss! But wait! For that is not the most Important thing of which to boast. Good looks you’ll have, we’ve told you so, But looks aren’t everything, you know. Each pill, as well, to you will give AN EXTRA TWENTY YEARS TO LIVE! So come, old friends, and do what’s right! Let’s make your lives as bright as bright!

Let’s take a dose of this delight! This heavenly magic dynamite! You can’t go wrong, you must go right! IT’S WILLY WONKA’S WONKA-VITE!” (from Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator) “Attention please! Attention please! Don’t dare to talk! Don’t dare to sneeze! Don’t doze or daydream! Stay awake! Your health, your very life’s at stake! Ho-ho, you say, they can’t mean me. Ha-ha, we answer, wait and see. Did any of you ever meet A child called Goldie Pinklesweet? Who on her seventh birthday went To stay with Granny down in Kent. At lunchtime on the second day Of dearest little Goldie’s stay, Granny announced, ‘I’m going down To do some shopping in the town.’ (D’you know why Granny didn’t tell The child to come along as well? She’s going to the nearest inn To buy herself a double gin.) So out she creeps. She shuts the door.

And Goldie, aftermaking sure That she is really by herself, Goes quickly to the medicine shelf, And there, her little greedy eyes See pills of every shape and size, Such fascinating colors too – Some green, some pink, some brown, some blue. ‘All right,’ she says, ‘let’s try the brown,’ She takes one pill and gulps it down. ‘Yum-yum!’ she cries. ‘Hooray! What fun! They’re chocolate-coated, every one!’ She gobbles five, she gobbles ten, She stops her gobbling only when The last pill’s gone. There are no more. Slowly she rises from the floor. She stops. She hiccups. Dear, oh dear, She starts to feel a trifle queer. You see, how could young Goldie know, For nobody had told her so, That Grandmama, her old relation Suffered from frightful constipation. This meant that every night she’d give Herself a powerful laxative, And all the medicines that she’d bought Were naturally of this sort. The pink and red and blue and green Were all extremely strong and mean.

But far more fierce and meaner still, Was Granny’s little chocolate pill. Its blast effect was quite uncanny. It used to shake up even Granny. In point of fact she did not dare To use them more than twice a year. So can you wonder little Goldie Began to feel a wee bit moldy? Inside her tummy, something stirred. A funny gurgling sound was heard, And then, oh dear, from deep within, The ghastly rumbling sounds begin! They rumbilate and roar and boom! They bounce and echo round the room! The floorboards shake and from the wall Some bits of paint and plaster fall. Explosions, whistles, awful bangs Were followed by the loudest clangs. (A man next door was heard to say, ‘A thunderstorm is on the way.’) But on and on the rumbling goes. A window cracks, a lamp-bulb blows. Young Goldie clutched herself and cried, ‘There’s something wrong with my inside!’ This was, we very greatly fear, The understatement of the year. For wouldn’t any child feel crummy, With loud explosions in her tummy?

Granny, at half past two, came in, Weaving a little from the gin, But even so she quickly saw The empty bottle on the floor. ‘My precious laxatives!’ she cried. ‘I don’t feel well,’ the girl replied. Angrily Grandma shook her head. ‘I’m really not surprised,’ she said. ‘Why can’t you leave my pills alone?’ With that, she grabbed the telephone And shouted, ‘Listen, send us quick An ambulance! A child is sick! It’s number fifty, Fontwell Road! Come fast! I think she might explode!’ We’re sure you do not wish to hear About the hospital and where They did a lot of horrid things With stomach-pumps and rubber rings. Let’s answer what you want to know; Did Goldie live or did she go? The doctors gathered round her bed, ‘There’s really not much hope,’ they said. ‘She’s going, going, gone!’ they cried. ‘She’s had her chips! She’s dead! She’s died!” ‘I’m not so sure,’ the child replied.

And all at once she opened wide Her great big bluish eyes and sighed, And gave the anxious docs a wink, And said, ‘I’ll be okay, I think.’ So Goldie lived and back she went At first to Granny’s place in Kent. Her father came the second day And fetched her in a Chevrolet, And drove her to their home in Dover. But Goldie’s troubles were not over. You see, if someone takes enough Of any highly dangerous stuff, One will invariably find Some traces of it left behind. It pains us greatly to relate That Goldie suffered from this fate. She’d taken such a massive fill Of this unpleasant kind of pill, It got into her blood and bones, It messed up all her chromosomes, It made her constantly upset, And she could never really get The beastly stuff to go away. And so the girl was forced to stay For seven hours every day Within the everlasting gloom Of what we call The Ladies Room. And after all, the W.C. Is not the gayest place to be. So now, before it is too late. Take heed of Goldie’s dreadful fate.

And seriously, all jokes apart, Do promise us across your heart That you will never help yourself To medicine from the medicine shelf.” Charlie and the Chocolate Factory | Roald Dahl Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 212pages on Share Ad blocker interference detected!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Author The Magic Finger (1966) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1964 children's book by British author Roald Dahl . This story features the adventures of young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate factory of eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka . Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was first published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. in 1964, and in the United Kingdom by George Allen & Unwin in 1967.

The book was adapted into two major motion pictures: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in 1971, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2005. The book's sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator , was written by Roald Dahl in 1972. Dahl had also planned to write a third book in the series but never finished it. The story was inspired by Roald Dahl's experience of chocolate companies during his schooldays. Cadbury would often send test packages to the schoolchildren in exchange for their opinions on the new products. At that time (around the 1920s), Cadbury and Rowntree's were England's two largest chocolate makers and they each often try to steal trade secrets by sending spies, posing as employees, into the other's factory. Because of this, both companies became highly protective of their chocolate-making processes. It was a combination of this secrecy and the elaborate, often gigantic, machines in the factory that inspired Dahl to write the story. Contents Edit The story revolves around a poor young boy named Charlie Bucket born to a penniless, starving family. He resides with both his paternal and maternal grandparents, who are bedridden.

Along with Charlie's mother and father, they dwell in a dilapidated, tiny house. Charlie is fascinated by the universally-celebrated chocolate factory located in his hometown owned by famous chocolatier Willy Wonka. His Grandpa Joe often tells him stories about Wonka and his mysterious chocolate factory, how it had been shuttered for years, and how it inexplicably re-opened and resumed candy production without any evidence of employees. Soon after, an article in the newspaper reveals that Willy Wonka has hidden a Golden Ticket in five chocolate bars being distributed to anonymous locations worldwide, and that the discovery of a Golden Ticket would grant the owner with passage into Willy Wonka's factory and a lifetime supply of confectionery.

Charlie longs for chocolate to satisfy his hunger and to find a Golden Ticket himself, but his chances are slim (his father has recently lost his job, leaving the family all but destitute) and word on the discovery of the tickets keeps appearing in various articles read by the Bucket family, each one going to self-centered, bratty children: and obese, gluttonous boy Augustus Gloop , a spoiled brat named Veruca Salt , a record-breaking gum chewer named Violet Beauregarde , and Mike Teavee , an aspiring gangster who is unhealthily obsessed with television. Eventually, Charlie finds a ticket of his own. The children, once in the factory, are taken to the Chocolate Room, where they are introduced to Oompa Loompas, from Loompaland, who have been helping Wonka at the factory. While there, Augustus falls into the chocolate river and is sucked up by a pipe and eliminated from the tour. They are soon taken to the Inventing Room, where Violet chews a piece of experimental gum, and blows up into a blueberry; she is the second child removed from the tour.

After an exhausting jog down a series of corridors, Wonka allows his guests to rest outside of the Nut Room, but refuses them entry. Veruca, seeing squirrels inside, demands one from Wonka, but when she is refused, she invades the Nut Room, where the squirrels attack her, judge her a bad nut and throw her down the garbage chute. Likewise with her parents, who go in to rescue her. The remaining visitors travel via Great Glass Elevator to the Television Room, where Mike accidentally shrinks himself to a few inches tall using a teleporter Wonka invented, and is the last to be eliminated from the tour. Charlie, being the last child left, wins the prize - the factory itself. Wonka had distributed the Golden Tickets to find an heir, and Charlie was the only one who passed the test. Together they go to Charlie's house in the glass elevator and take the whole family back to the chocolate factory to live out the rest of their lives.

Missing chapters 🍫 Edit As "lost chapters" recently found reveal, in unpublished drafts of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory far more than five children got the golden ticket to tour Willy Wonka's secret chocolate factory, far more than four were eliminated, and the children faced more rooms and more temptations to test their self-control. The Fiction Circus reports: "Evidently, Roald Dahl didn't just kill four children in the original version of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.' Evidently he killed hundreds! For the sake of time and sales, his editor forced him to take out several murdered children, especially the British ones, sticking with two Americans, an aristocrat, and a German." "Spotty Powder" Edit In 2005, The London Times revealed a "lost" chapter - titled "Spotty Powder" - had been found in Dahl's desk, written backwards in mirror-script (the way Da Vinci wrote in his journal).

This chapter includes a humorless, smug girl (Miranda Piker) and her equally humorless father (a schoolmaster) who disappear into the Spotty Powder room - where a candy is made that makes red, pox-like spots appear on the children's faces and necks making it look like chicken-pox/measles, so they won't have to go to school. This enrages the Pikers, who set out to sabotage the machine. The Fiction Circus explains "The chapter was cut because it implies that Willy Wonka is a cannibal, and that he feeds children to their enemies, just like Polynesian islanders and Titus Andronicus." "Fudge Mountain" Edit In 2014, The Guardian revealed that Dahl had cut another chapter from an earlier draft of the book, titled "Fudge Mountain".

The Guardian reports the now-eliminated passage was "deemed too wild, subversive and insufficiency moral for the tender minds of British children almost 50 years ago." In what was originally chapter five in that version of that book, Charlie goes to the factory with his mother - not his grandfather, and the chocolate factory tour, at this point down to eight kids, includes Tommy Troutback and Wilbur Rice, who wind up in the Vanilla Fudge Mountain cutting room, due to their own greed. Additionally, reports NPR's Krishnadev Calamur: "The chapter reveals the original larger cast of characters, and their fates, as well as the original names of some of those who survived into later drafts. Dahl originally intended to send Charlie into the chocolate factory with eight other children, but the number was slimmed down to four.

The narrator reveals that a girl named Miranda Grope had already vanished into the chocolate river with Augustus Pottle: she is gone forever, but the greedy boy was reincarnated into Augustus Gloop." Reception Edit A fan of the book since childhood, Tim Burton states "I responded to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because it respected the fact that children can be adults." In a 2006 list for the Royal Society of Literature, author J.K. Rowling (author of the Harry Potter books) named Charlie and the Chocolate Factory among her top ten books every child should read. A 2004 study found that it was a common read-aloud book for fourth-graders in schools in San Diego County, California. A 2012 survey by the University of Worcester determined that it was one of the most common books that UK adults had read as children, after Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, and The Wind in the Willows.

Accolades for this book include: New England Round Table of Children's Librarians Award (USA, 1972) Surrey School Award (UK, 1973) Millennium Children's Book Award (UK, 2000) Blue Peter Book Award (UK, 2000) The Big Read poll conducted by the BBC listed the book at number 35 of the "nation's best-loved novels" (UK, 2003) National Education Association "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children" based on a poll (USA, 2007) School Library Journal "Top 100 Chapter Books" of all time based on a poll (USA, 2012) Unfavorable views and revisions Edit Although the book has been popular and considered a children's classic by many literary critics, a number of prominent individuals have spoken critically of the novel over the years. Dominic Cheetham observers that numerous publishers turned down Dahl's book and even Knopf - the original, American publisher - agreed both that the book was in bad taste and books should not be aimed at both children and adults, as was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Children's novelist and literary historian John Rowe Townsend has described the book as "fantasy of an almost literally nauseating kind" and accused it of "astonishing insensitivity" regarding the original portrayal of the Oompa-Loompas as black pygmies, although Dahl did revise that later. Cheetham notes that no outcry over was raised about the anti-Indian sentiment shown in the "humorless, but belittling" naming of the Indian Prince Pondicherry and the portrayal of the "incredible stupidity in a stereotyped racial icon". Another novelist, Eleanor Cameron, compared the book to the sweets that form its subject matter, commenting that it is "delectable and soothing while we are undergoing the brief sensory pleasure it affords but leave its poorly nourished with our taste of dulled for better fare". Ursula K. Let Guin voiced her support for this assessment in a letter to Cameron. Defenders of the book have pointed out it was unusual for its time in being quite dark for a children's book, with the "antagonists" not being adults or monsters (as in the case for most of Dahl's books) but the naughty children, who receive sadistic punishment in the end.

However, despite criticisms and complaints about the "high-handed way in which Mr Willy Wonka treats other people in the book", Mr. Wonka remains authoritarian, the supposedly tasteless features remain, the violence to the various children remains, and the supposedly dual nature of the intended readership also remains firmly unchanged. Cheetham had catalogued additional criticisms about the book, including: "General Attitudes to Foreigners", citing the treatment of characters who may be perceived as American (Cheetham, p. 10), in addition to the African and Indian characters noted above; "Employer-Employee Relations" (Cheetham, pp. 10-11); "Human Guinea Pigs" (Cheetham, p. 11); "General Attitudes Towards Class" (Cheetham, pp. 11-12); "The Myth of Noble Poverty" (Cheetham, p. 12); "Attitudes to Children" (Cheetham, p. 12); "Attitudes to Parenthood" (Cheetham, pp. 12-13); and "Alcohol Abuse" (Cheetham, p. 13).

The cover art for Penguin UK's Modern Classics 50th Anniversary Edition of the book (publication date September 2014) has also received substantial criticism for his taste level and age-appropriateness. (See Editions.) Adaptation Edit In addition to spawning a sequel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has frequently been adapted for other media, including games, radio, the screen, and stage, most often as plays and musicals for children - often titled Willy Wonka or Willy Wonka, Jr. and almost always featuring musical numbers by all the main characters (Wonka, Charlie, Grandpa Joe, Violet, Veruca, etc.); many of these songs are revised versions from the 1971 film. The book was first made into a feature film as a musical, titled Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971), directed by Mel Stuart , produced by David L. Wolper and starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka , character actor Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe , and Peter Ostrum as Charlie Bucket. The film had an estimated budget of $2.9 million but grossed only $4 million and was considered a box-office disappointment.

Exponential home video and DVD sales, as well as repeated television airings, resulted in the film subsequently becoming a cult classic. Concurrently with the 1971 film, the Quaker Oats Company introduced a line of candies whose marketing uses the book's characters and imagery. The BBC produced an adaptation for Radio 4 in the early 1980s. In 1985, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory video game was released for the ZX Spectrum by developers Soft Option Ltd and publisher Hill MacGibbon. Another film version, titled Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka, Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket, Deep Roy as the Oompa-Loompas, and Geoffrey Holder as the Narrator, was a hit, grossing about $470 million worldwide with an estimated budget of $150 million. The 1971 and 2005 films are consistent with the written work to varying degrees. The Burton film greatly expanded Willy Wonka's personal back-story borrowing many themes and elements from the book's sequel.

Both films heavily expanded the personalities of the four bad children and their parents from the limited descriptions in the book. A video game, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory based on Burton's adaptation, was released on 11 July 2005. On 1 April 2006, the British theme park, Alton Towers , opened a family attraction themed around the story. The ride features a boat section, where guests travel along the chocolate factory in bright pink boats on a chocolate river. In the final stage of the ride, guests enter one of two glass elevators, where they join Willy Wonka as they travel round the factory, eventually shooting up and out through the glass roof. The Estate of Roald Dahl sanctioned an operatic adaptation called The Golden Ticket. It is written by American composer Peter Ash and British librettist Donald Sturrock . The Golden Ticket has completely original music and was commissioned by American Lyric Theater , Lawrence Edelson (producing artistic director), and Felicity Dahl . The opera received its world premiere at Opera Theater of Saint Louis on 13 June 2010, in a co-production with American Lyric Theater and Wexford Festival Opera .

A musical based on the novel called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical premiered at the West End's Theater Royal, Dury Lane in May 2013 and officially opened on 25 June. The show is directed by Sam Mendes and stars Douglas Hodge as Willy Wonka. Editions Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has undergone numerous editions and been illustrated by numerous artists. Books
