Nobody wants the prize more than young Charlie, but as his family is so poor that buying even one bar of chocolate is a treat, buying enough bars to find one of the five golden tickets is unlikely in the extreme. But in movieland, magic can happen. Charlie, along with four somewhat odious other children, get the chance of a lifetime and a tour of the factory. Along the way, mild disasters befall each of the odious children, but can Charlie beat the odds and grab the brass ring?

He'll sell a million bars.

Do you think I've got a chance

to find one?

One?! I'm counting on you

to find all five!

One's enough for me.

We have reports...

...the response is phenomenal!

Wonka Bars...

...are disappearing...

...at a rate to boggle the mind.

It is incredible...

...the way Wonkamania

has descended upon the globe.

While the world searches,

we watch and wait, wondering...

...where it will lead,

and how long the spirit will hold up...

...under the strain.

I still have these dreams, Doctor,

And I still can't stop believing them.

I've told you, Mr. Hoffstedder...

...to believe in dreams

is a manifestation of insanity.

The sooner you accept this,

the sooner you'll get well.

I dreamed the Archangel whispered into

my ear where to find a Golden Ticket.

What did he say?

What difference does that make?

This was a dream.

- You said...

- Shut up and tell me where's the ticket!

We begin with 5 Golden Tickets.

Like 5 lucky bolts of lightning

ready to strike at any point on the map.

No one knew where or when

the first one would hit.

But last night we got our answer.

While America slept,

the first Golden Ticket was found...

...in the small town of

Duselheim, Germany.

We've been waiting for the story,

and we're ready with a live report.

Proud we are,

for the attention of the world...

...focuses today here in Duselheim.

A community thrust into prominence...

...by the discovery of

the first Wonka Golden Ticket.

Its finder is the son

of a prominent butcher.

The boys name, Augustus Gloop!

The pride of Duselheim,

the fame of Western Germany.

An example for the whole world.

How does it feel to be

the first Golden Ticket finder?

- Hungry.

- Any other feelings?

Sorry for Wonka.

It'll cost him a fortune in fudge.

Mr. Gloop, would you mind...

Mrs. Gloop, would you say

a few words to the audience?

I knew he would find a Golden Ticket.

Eating is his hobby.

He wouldn't do it unless

he needed the nourishment.

Happy birthday, Charlie!

Here you are, Charlie.

Thank you.

It's terrific!

We each knitted, Grandmas

Georgina, Josephine and me.

I did the end pieces with the tassels.

And here's a little gift

from Grandpa George and me.

I think I know what this is.

- It is! A Wonka!

- Open it, Charlie.

Let's see that Golden Ticket.

- Wouldn't it be fantastic?

- Don't raise his hopes.

Never mind. Open it.

I want to see that gold!

Stop it!

- I've got the same chance as anybody!

- You've got more.

You want it more.

Go on, open it!

Here goes!

- I got it!

- Where?

Let's see!

Fooled you, didn't I?

You thought I really had it.

Never mind, Charlie.

You'll find one.

- Here, everybody have a bite.

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (English: , Norwegian: [ˈruːɑl ˈdɑːl]; 13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.Born in Wales to Norwegian immigrant parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence as a writer in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and he became one of the world's best-selling authors. He has been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". His awards for contribution to literature include the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, and the British Book Awards' Children's Author of the Year in 1990. In 2008, The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, macabre, often darkly comic mood, featuring villainous adult enemies of the child characters. His books champion the kindhearted, and feature an underlying warm sentiment. Dahl's works for children include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG, The Twits and George's Marvellous Medicine. His adult works include Tales of the Unexpected. more…
