Willy Wonka

Willy Wonka is a fictional character who owns a chocolate factory in Roald Dahl's children's books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. A musical film adaptation of Dahl's classic, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, directed by Mel Stuart and starring Gene Wilder, was released in 1971; it was originally a box office flop, but today is seen as a cult classic because of its campy humor. Another version of the tale, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka, was released in 2005, and was an immediate box office success.
