Indeed, he warns that &#8220;first-time viewers, especially children, [may] have much difficulty warming to this film&#8221;, given that &#8220;the tone is dreary, Wonka is scary, the music is forgettable, the Oompa-Loompas&#8230; are dreadful concoctions, and the kids are shown to be bratty and are treated viciously&#8221; &#8212; but he argues that &#8220;the picture improves with subsequent viewings&#8221;, at which point &#8220;the kids, their parents, and the unpredictable Wonka suddenly seem cleverly conceived&#8221;. I remember finding the film rather nightmarish as a child, given the frightening fates met by the naughty children &#8212; but seeing it again now as an adult, I must say I agree with Peary&#8217;s second set of assessments rather than the first. The tone of the film, rather than dreary, is quite colorful and rich &#8212; and while Wonka certainly may come across as scary to kids, for adult viewers he&#8217;s an inspired character, uniquely realized by Wilder (who isn&#8217;t afraid to tap into Wonka&#8217;s &#8220;wonky&#8221;, almost schizophrenic personality). Finally, while it&#8217;s true that the majority of Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse&#8217;s songs are somewhat forgettable, there are a couple of notable stand-outs (&#8220;The Candy Man&#8221;, &#8220;Oompa-Loompa-Doompa-De-Do&#8221;) which linger in one&#8217;s memory for literally decades, and more than make up for the rest. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Wilder.bmp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Wilder-1024x573.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-56630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Wilder-1024x573.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Wilder-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Wilder-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Wilder-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Wilder-1536x859.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Wilder-483x270.jpg 483w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Wilder.bmp 1819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Memorable, colorful set designs<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Song.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Song-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-56632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Song-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Song-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Song-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Song-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Song-1536x863.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Song-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Song.png 1827w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Sets3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Sets3-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-56631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Sets3-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Sets3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Sets3-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Sets3-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Sets3-1536x863.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Sets3-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Sets3.png 1827w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Several catchy tunes by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa-1024x570.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"356\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-56634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa-1024x570.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa-1536x855.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa-485x270.png 485w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa-1038x576.png 1038w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Willy-Wonka-Oompa-Loompa.png 1827w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, as a cult favorite.
