  • Johnny Depp said that his inspiration for Willie Wonka came from the host of TV game shows and children's shows. He also said in the interview that this character should be "partly like Howard Hughes (the "flyer"), partly like a gorgeous rock star of the 70s."
  • In order to film the scene of the raid on Veruka Salt, the crew trained 40 squirrels.
  • Many chocolate trees and chocolate flowers in the film are produced by Choccywoccydoodah, a chocolate shop in Brighton, England. The lollipops on the trees, the huge pink canes, etc. are all real candies. After the film was released, they exhibited and sold some of their works.
  • Willie Wonka’s voice was tested by Johnny Depp’s daughter, and she liked it.
  • A total of 9.27 million liters of fake chocolate was filmed, of which 7.81 million liters were used to make rivers (half of which was used to make waterfalls). Nestlé provided 1,850 pieces of real chocolate. There are 110,000 plastic chocolates under the Nestlé wrapper. It took 20 weeks for Willie Wonka’s boat to float on the Chocolate River.
  • This is Johnny Depp's second film about chocolate, but he doesn't like the taste of fine chocolate, but prefers cheap Easter chocolate.
  • The production company of the film is the "Plan B" company founded by Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. The film is the last work of the company before their divorce.
  • The film is the thirteenth collaboration between Tim Burton and Danny Elfman, the famous film music master.
  • Charlie’s bedroom wall is pasted with candy wrappers of every Wonka chocolate he has eaten.
  • Johnny Depp was so impressed with Freddy Haymer's performance in "Finding Neverland", so he recommended him to Tim Burton to play Charlie.
  • The role of Wonka's father was written specifically for the movie. The plot of Wonka wearing giant braces in the film is not in the original book, but comes from director Tim Burton’s own childhood experience.
  • Wonka recalled that when he opened the factory, he held big scissors like Edward Scissorhands.
  • Due to the use of 15/70 film, which is 10 times larger than normal 35mm film, after digital processing and sound enhancement processing, this film becomes Warner’s sixth IMAX film and is shown in major IMAX theaters around the world. Compared with ordinary theaters, the IMAX movie projection system provides more high-quality pictures and sound. The 120-foot-wide huge screen and the 14,000-watt pure digital surround sound will undoubtedly add to the film.
  • Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Christopher Walken, Nicholas Cage, Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Mike Myers, Ben Stiller, Bill Murray , Leslie Nelson, Patrick Stewart, John Chris, Mike Palin, Rowan Atkinson, Robert De Niro, Michael Keaton, Kim Carey, Adam Sandler and Mary Lin Manson has been the candidate to play Willie Wonka.

    To say that Johnny Depp is really powerful, as a factory manager, it is also well described, a good fairy tale film, but the dwarf is a little disgusting.
