One has to wait for the hover - pilot inWonka ’s hoverchoc to get banal and exit through the rear to be able to stop levitating .
While the Fizzy Lighting drinks did not keep back much narration heft in the original Holy Scripture andTim Burton’sCharlie and the Chocolate Factory , it almost kill Charlie and his grandpa in the 1971 film after they nearly float into a ceiling fan before belch their way down . Even inWonka , hoverchocs oblige narrative value because they put Willy Wonka on Arthur Slugworth , Mr. Prodnose , and Mr. Fickelgruber ’s radio detection and ranging in the flick ’s opening arc .

Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryeven harkens back to Willy Wonka ’s past and play up how vernal Wonka develop up in a strict household where his father would burn his Halloween chocolates . Paul King’sWonkachanges this enfranchisement course by show the outcome of healthy parenting .

Unlike the previous films and the original story , Willy Wonka is not a morally ambiguous character inWonkaand his enemies are clearly corrupt person who go against all ethical limits to take him down . This not only paint a arrant contrast to the early portrayals of the titular character reference but also offers a more calamitous - and - white distinction between effective and evil inWonka ’s whimsical world .
1Arthur Slugworth, Ficklegruber, and Prodnose Have Bigger Roles In Wonka
Wonka’s primary antagonists are barely present in the previous movies and original book
In the original Roald Dahl book , Slugworth , Ficklegruber , and Prodnose are only remark once in the first discharge as Willy Wonka ’s rivals .
