Synopsis:

This edit is as close to the original book's storyline as possible. Scenes had to be rearranged and all (but one) of the Oompa-Loompa-Songs were put at the end of each chapter. Nearly everything that doesn't happen in the book is cut.


Intentions:

I love this movie, I love all of Tim Burton's movies (Besides 'Planet of The Apes'), I love the way Johnny Depp acts as Willy Wonka, but the first time I saw the movie I hated the singing Oompa-Loompas and Dr. Wonka bored me to death. So my first intention was to cut everything, that I didn't like. In the meantime I read the book by Roald Dahl. After finishing it, I decided to cut everything that is not in the book and rearrange the scenes so close to the original story line as possible. There are still some non-book scenes left, but only to keep some of the Burton/Depp weirdness in.


Change List:

Cut: - The Narrator - All Willy Wonka childhood scenes and all references to it - Charlie does not tinker a model chocolate factory out of toothpaste caps - Charlie eats his birthday chocolate bar alone. It's HIS birthday present! - Charlie does not want to sell the golden ticket. He's a boy! He wants to see the factory from the inside - Burning puppet theater (I'm still sorry for that) - Elevator ride trimmed: pink sheep, management department, stupid candy cannons and puppet hospital cut - Willy does not try to persuade Charlie to leave his family alone Added: - Several text cards and subtitles - 3 second deleted scene (Oompa-Loompa Song for Violet Beauregard) - Customized opening and end titles to hide the names of the actors who played deleted characters Fixed: - continuity error when Willy Wonka closes the gate to his factory - now the gate closes in chronological order.
