From the Paper:

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a children's book written by Roald Dahl about a young boy that gets the chance of a lifetime in a legendary candy factory. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, however, is about a legendary candy factory owner that gives the chance of a lifetime away. One and the same story, yet quite different. The film started as an advertisement for the Quaker Oats Company. It was directed by Mel Stuart with the screenplay by Roald Dahl. The movie is a comedy, fantasy, musical, and a family film that captivates both children and adults with its humor and psychedelic references throughout. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory upholds a moral character that shows what happens to those people that are selfish and bad and to those that are honest and good. Of all the movies available to be critiqued, analyzed, and picked apart, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory deserves the honor of inclusion into the classroom of filmed literature. "
