Synopsis
Young, good-natured Charlie wins one of five golden tickets hidden amongst thousands of Wonka chocolate bars. What have Charlie and the other four kids won? A tour through Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, led by the eccentric but often mean-spirited Wonka himself. The factory itself is like a fantasy world: crazy color schemes, wild inventions, secret rooms, busy elves, and lots and lots of delectable sweets. But Wonka has a hidden agenda, and during the tour he tests each child's character and honesty. When it is clear that Charlie is the most trustworthy, kind-hearted and dependable kid, Wonka awards him with a gift that is every child's dream.

Misc. Show Information
Filmed in Munich, Germany,Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was Quaker Oats first and only venture into film making. The films name was changed from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory because some feared that the term 'Charlie' had racist connotations. Seeing a potential merchandising bonanza, Quaker Oats released toys and other merchandise to coincide with the film. (This was before movie merchandise was what it is today.) Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka) was present at the opening, with the Wonkamobile. Free ice cream and and chocolate bars were given to all attendees.
