Wonderful movie, this was my first time seeing it. I wish now I grew up watching it because I really enjoyed it even now. The picture quality looks fantastic! I’m glad I now I finally have seen this and more importantly, have it in my collection.

Don’t buy from Best Buy, this states it comes with digital code, it does not! Best Buy employee didn’t allow me to return even though it was unopened. I told her to open it and check for code. Her manager came and opened, no code inside. The picture on the website shows digital code, as does the title, but the actual item differs. Such a scam. Of about 150 titles purchased, 16 had no code.

I've always loved this movie. I have this on VHS, DVD, Bluray, and now 4K. The colors pop. It is amazing what they did with a movie from 1971.

I bought this for my grandson for his birthday without realizing that it was Blu-ray. Apparently I cannot use this DVD in my older DVD player. He will be able to play it at home though.

Awesome classic in 4K..and Blu Ray.You need A4K tv and Player to watch it in 4k.Blu Ray looks awesome as well.

Fantastic picture for a older film on 4K. Way to go on the remaster.

Amazing classic musical. Love the slipcover artwork.

Wonka fans come one come all. The CANDY MAN is here in 4K. Love it!!!!

Online when i bought the movie it said digital included received the movie today and the packaging didnt say includes digital . I open thed box and no digital code. I am very disappointed. Best Buy you are slipping.

I like Johnny Dep and all, but the remake just doesn't do this classic justice. You have to watch the original.

One of my favorite movies growing up. I had to purchase it. Gene W. was comical and seem to be a know it all.

I grew up watching this movie since I was a kid. I have seen this movie many many times, and have owned all versions from VHS, to DVD, then Blu-ray version. I now own the 4K version and can without a doubt say this is the best version possible to watch this! The picture quality is amazing, as well as the sound quality. Must own!

Loved it. Was definitely a nice 4k and colors popped. This is my favorite all time movie and waited a long time to get this movie..im a weirdo and have to catch sales lol watched it on a 85" and it blew me away, wonka literally looked insane. Def get it, well worth it if your a fan.

It's amazing to see an old movie looking so sharp and bright. These kind of 4k restorations give me a lot of optimism about keeping old movies around for the long term. It has never looked so good at home.

Willy wonka is a classic film and the picture quality on this release is fantastic

One of the greatest kids movies ever! Gene Wilder will never be touched or the other actors in this adaptation!! If you have never seen this movie you are missing out!

Love the behind the scenes and extras. This is my favorite movie from my childhood and now get to share that with my 4 year old who loves it just as much!

Gene Wilder at his finest. 4k really is a game changer for resolution and image quality. Disc trumps streaming 7 days a week.

This is another classic film that I bought because I recently bought a new 4K player, and it looks and sounds terrific!!

Why It Rocks While it's not 100% faithful to the source material, the film does still stay quite true to the original book. Gene Wilder does a great job portraying Willy Wonka. Great acting with an excellent supporting cast. Timeless score by both Leslie Bricusse and Walter Scharf. The songs are timeless and catchy. Decent morals. Great characters. The boat ride scene is far scarier than the one in the infamous 2005 remake, complete with the word "hell." Peter Ostrum also does a great job as Charlie Bucket. The look for the Oompa-Loompas in this movie has become the iconic look for the Oompa-Loompas. The scene where Violet swells up into a blueberry became a popular joke. The Tom and Jerry crossover is just as good, if not better. This famous line Willy Wonka said at the end of the film, You get nothing! You lose! Good day sir. Bad Qualities The movie doesn't follow the book completely, which explains pointer #1. The tunnel scene is very disturbing for a G-Rated movie, thus some countries rated it PG and similar ratings due to the dark nature of that scene, such as bugs crawling on dead people’s faces and a chicken actually getting it's head cut-off (for real). This is most likely due to rating systems being somewhat different back then. The acting from the children isn't always the best. For example, in the Wonkamobile scene, when Charlie said "Hey Grandpa, what was that we just went through?", it didn't sound real, instead like he was asked to say those words. Grandpa Joe was kind of a bad influence on Charlie as he suggested to try the Fizzy Lifting Drinks even though Willy Wonka told everyone not to drink any of it, he lets Charlie sign a contract without fully reading it, and he suggests giving the Gobstopper to Slugworth after Willy Wonka denied the chocolate prize to Charlie after they drank the Fizzy Lifting Drinks. Charlie in this movie is very desperate to find the golden ticket and would feel miserable and sad if he didn't find it, along with the final line in the movie where Willy Wonka states that a guy would live happily ever after when he got everything he wanted, that here isn't a very good moral for children or adults. Veruca Salt, one of the golden ticket winners, can be annoying and unlikable. The 2005 Tim Burton remake was very weak and WAY too scary to be a family movie. (Unless you consider it a guilty pleasure or the black sheep of the Willy Wonka franchise that never deserves any hate at all).
