Is it wrong of me to think that Willy Wonka would like Chappell Roan

Kalle och Chokladfabriken (1983):

Above are some shots from the 1983 TV series Kalle och Chokladfabriken. Narrated by Ernst-Hugo Järegard and produced by SVT and Lars Sjörgen (IMDB). Unfortunately, the majority of this show is lost media and was not archived by TheWayBackMachine and has been removed from SVT and other Swedish streaming/purchasing sites.

Originally a channel called Erikbe99 (I believe it was them, although it could be another that's now deleted) posted the entire series on YouTube, yet it has now been removed, neither archived. Only three video clips remain of the show which is the intro, outro and The Television Chocolate Room scene. There was the inventing room scene available, but this now only remains as screenshots (to my current knowledge).

Despite this, the illustrations are available through buying the book- which is full of Bengt Arne Runnerström's work, albeit in greyscale. This is available on Bokbörsen and other second hand Swedish book shops. The full colour version of Kalle och den Stora Glasshissen is also available! Which could mean a full colour version of the original TV series is out out there somewhere, as a picture book.

Again, the search continues for the VHS

My favorite character in the Charlie and the chocolate factory franchise has definitely been book violet, and I think I just realized why. She is described as talking alot and talking loudly, which I just relate to SO much. I have a habit of rambling, especially about stuff I really like, so I just relate to her a lot. (Also her design is so cool, like sometimes she’s depicted with a denim jacket and I love denim jackets—) She just a chatty gal like me and I like that.

biting my nails nervously ......

if the netflix CATCF desaturates willy wonkas personality (the way that every film did) and does NOT translate the utter delight that was his book self into animation ... im gonna have to put my foot down

roald dahl woke up one day and decided to invent babygirlism through willy wonka...

[hrzwrm]

hot take (maybe idk) but Warden Superjail has to be the most accurate adaptation of Willy Wonka as he is in the book, without even being a direct adaptation. not literally, obviously, but in terms of characterization. like i love the movie versions on their own terms, don't get me wrong, but they are simply not the appropriate magnitude of deranged, calloused, egomaniacal manchild. Warden however-

These original illustrations of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' make me dislike the films even more

We have so much time and so little to see!

[weirdthoughtsandideas]

I've noticed that every single time there's a catcf reference in media, every american online goes "Oh that's a Willy Wonka reference!!"

Which is so interesting, because where I live people would not say Willy Wonka, they'd say "That's a Charlie and the chocolate factory reference!"

It could be because swedes typically do not know the 1971 film (I mean we know of it but it's NOT popular at all in the same way), we have more focus on the book and our miniseries from the 80s, and the 05 movie.

It's just an observation I've had, and I always react when I hear "that's a Willy Wonka reference!" online due to that I'd personally refer to Charlie and not Wonka.

Чарли и шоколадная фабрика (USSR 1991)

Above are some images of the 1991 (USSR) copy of Charlie and the Chocolate factory, illustrated by E. Zanarsky. This book appears to be a particularly difficult copy to find, and feature some very unique illustrations. Most notably, a permanently green-faced Mike!

This version also features double-page illustrations of various key locations throughout the book.

So, hear me out on this one.

Recently I saw the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical with my family (my first live musical ever, btw!); i really liked it! Thus, I decided to draw the man himself as a memory of me going there.

But as you can see it's not one of the movie depictions, but rather the actor who played him in the musical in my country, who I think portrayed him quite well.

(I really liked the sketch for this, it's below the cut)
