Summary: This movie is about the upbringing of Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The movie starts with Wonka ending off his world travels of chocolate hunting going to try and open up a new candy shop inside of the big city. Sadly, he hits a roadblock when he is tricked by a local innkeeper into signing a deal to have to work in their basement for 25+ years. Willy is determined to make a name for himself and he won’t let this get in the way of his dreams. Willy Wonka starts to make a name for himself but the local chocolate cartel tries to stop him by bribing the police to destroy his store and reputation. Willy now has to continue his work in secret. In the end, Willy becomes the most successful chocolate maker in the world.
Opinion: I would give this movie 5 out of 5 stars for a couple of reasons. I enjoyed the singing parts within this movie and it made it perfect for people of all ages to watch. Wonka was the perfect prequel to all of the other movies within the series. It shows why Willy Wonka does what he does with some great easter eggs inside of the movie hinting at future events. I would recommend this to any person who enjoyed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
