Family Flicks: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

  • This is a past program

A golden ticket found in a chocolate bar leads young Charlie Bucket and four other lucky children on a marvelous adventure through the wondrous world of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Along with chocolate rivers, Oompa-Loompas and a chance to win a lifetime supply of chocolate comes a few life lessons along the way in this musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s classic. 

1971, dir. Mel Stuart, 100 min.
