- immortal32about 8 yearsI think its a classic, I also think the boat ride is kinda scary, I like the part at the end where willy wonka and charlie and hugging :)
- RiptideGirl13almost 9 yearsThis movie is really a classic. This movie taught me a lesson. It taught me that you need to accept what you have and don't complain. Charlie lived with what he had and he didn't complain. He never gave up when he was trying to find the golden ticket, and in the end he finds the Golden Ticket and gets to tour the factory with his grandpa.
- joeycollin13almost 9 yearsI like this movie a lot! It's really funny! For all ages!!!!! My mom even watched it with us and liked it!!!!!!
- This is one of those movies that many of us like to call a "classic" and you know what, you're right abut that! This movie has a great sense of humor, some pretty good special effects for it's time, and was just so charming in general! Gene Wilder (Mr. Wonka) Is still alive, and still staring and directing great films to this day! So many many people loved this movie, and i do too! You have never seen this movie, it is best seen unspoiled, and you should watch it right now! It's plot was so different from other movies at the time, making it just *that* more more appealing to watch! This move was an easy 5/5 for me!
