little things in the wonka score/soundtrack that get me every time: a post made by a music major with severe brainrot (seriously it’s getting bad)
• even though i’m not sure how to feel abt what they did orchestrally to pure imagination when it was sung in full, i loved the way it was interwoven until then-the opening credits, the clock tower chiming its intro, etc
• when the intro to hatful of dreams ends and the instrumental HITS. that was the moment i was sitting in the theater like “…oh i’m going to be so charmed by this movie huh”
• something abt the way timmy sings “i’ve put everything i’ve got into my choc’late”. see above bullet point
• welcome to scrubbit’s has no right to be that much of a banger
• the low brass in scrub scrub HELLOOOOO?!?!? the chromatic slides. the muted trumpets. abacus’ bass moments (go off king). the song is literally about laundry and yet IT GOES SO HARD
• walk into the club on a friday night like FIRST YOU PICK UP THE APPAREL AND YOU
• the instrumental of ynhclt that plays while everyone’s flying is so cheesy and so golden-age-of-hollywood-children’s-musical and i cannot help but smile
• the cuh-lassic “one instrument at a time” opening of sweet tooth
• mathew baynton’s voice. that’s it that’s the bullet point.
• #GiveTheCartelMoreTight3PartHarmonies2k24
• well we’ve got lots and lots and lots and loTS AND LOTS AND LOWHY AM I SINGINGGGGGGG
• somethin about how the “noodle noodle” countermelody is a sort of arpeggiated outline of each chord, like a vocal warmup, like he’s letting her take the melody bc he knows she will in time. i’m gonna sob they’re literally family
• the orchestration of for a moment, esp while they’re dancing on the rooftop, just SOARS. idk if anyone here has seen mr magorium’s wonder emporium but that movie shaped my childhood, it’s probably my favorite film score ever, and this instrumental bit is SOOOO reminiscent of it
• clock tower. a fifty-second masterpiece
• CHOCOPOCALYPSE. (for those of us who were on the theatre kid side of the internet in 2018, i think chocopocalypse should be the new calculust. hear me out)
• mat’s voice gets a second bullet point bc what the hell man. literally the sonic embodiment of dark mint chocolate. h e l p m e
• …#fickelgruberisathinmint2k24
• noodle’s portion of ynhclt, while she’s teaching willy to read, has a few instrumental nods to mozart’s famous sonata in c, a typical piece for piano beginners-kids-to learn. in the 1971 film mrs teavee incorrectly identifies mozart as rachmaninoff. this MOVIE
• i wish there could have been more, and more involved/complex, ensemble vocal moments
• charlotte ritchie <3 (okay i’m biased sue me)
• the new orchestration for the oompa loompa song is straight fire
• the LEITMOTIFS the fucking LEITMOTIFS!!!!!!!! the opening fanfare that became the basis of hatful of dreams popping up here and there. the melody to a world of your own playing whenever he thinks of his mom. every time we think willy’s safe from the cartel, ope there’s that descending major sixth again.
• (now that i think about it. sweet tooth is in g major of all keys, rather atypical of a villain song. most of the intervals are major too. it’s the trembling strings that give it that “evil” sound. and it fits so well-like, “we’re not completely immoral! time for a fun little tango! there’s colorful lights! killthisguyplsOH LOOK CONFETTI!” they’re so sinister i love it)
• the way that the intro to a world of your own echoes the intro to pure imagination
• THE ORCHESTRATION DURING “chocolate bushes, chocolate trees” etc AND THE WAY IT BUILDS OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD. MY HEART JUST BURSTS. EVERY TIME. I AM NOT IMMUNE TO CHEESY MUSICALS.
• the!! chromatic!! basslines!! in!! that!! song!!!!!!!!
• the fact that the bridge comes before the second verse-name any other songs where that happens i dare you. just another example of willy changing the narrative in every way
• the fact that sorry noodle is AN ENTIRE *OTHER* COUNTERMELODY that then falls back into the for a moment melody at the end what the FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
• the monks chanting “giraffe. a massive giraffe”. so fucking funny
• stripping down pure imagination to its essence while willy sings it to noodle was a thousand percent the right decision. and the lyric changes for the situation are sooooooo clever
• as someone who grew up with the 71 movie and has been utterly enamored with its music her whole life, i’m not the world’s hugest fan of this version’s pure imagination orchestration; i get they felt they had to do something different, it just feels slightly too modern/disneyesque, but it had the vibe that they intended for the end of the movie
• anyway god i love this score

Wir beenden hiermit unsere vergleichenden Studien: Wonka ist natürlich strenggenommen überhaupt keine Verfilmung von Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Es ist aber total wunderbar und angemessen und hat die schönsten Locations (wir freuen uns jetzt natürlich, daß wir Eltham Palace erkennen. Mehr als München.) Die Lieder aus dem Musical gefallen mir trotzdem besser als alle anderen. Jawohl. Obwohl Marc Shaiman so ein ausgebuffter, routinierter Musicalschreiber ist. Oder wahrscheinlich gerade deshalb. Im Grunde ist das nicht so überraschende Fazit: Sie haben alle was für sich und können schön nebeneinander her existieren. Hauptsache man singt "Pure Imagination".

This is my favorite ballet of all time!!!!!
Choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon, score by Joby Talbot. Both of whom understood the assignment.

Wonka (PG): A World of Pure Imagination.
#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Wonka". #WonkaMovie. Superb family musical entertainment. A Christmas gift. Go and see it! 5/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Wonka” (2023). I can’t say that I built up very big expectations for “Wonka” from the trailer. But when my illustrious daughter Jenn (follow her hilarious susiesecondhand on Instagram!) gave it 10/10 I thought “Hello… maybe this is something special after all”. And so it turned out to be! I don’t give out many top marks during the year. But in this case, I just had…

Alongside the new audio commentaries and an "anniversary featurette", the six-disc Blu-ray also includes outtakes and deleted scenes; a 2002 radio interview of the group by producer Paul Jackson from his In Conversation With Radio 4 series; an interview with the series' composer Joby Talbot, plus the 1995 short Highgate House Of Horror, a precursor to the television series comprising three stories, featuring usually off-screen member Dyson in an acting role, shot in Pemberton and Shearsmith's flatshare of the time.

Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland for the characters ask
Favorite thing about them: What a colorful and funny villainess she is, despite her small amount of page or screen time.
Least favorite thing about them: Well, obviously, she's mean, bloodthirsty, and as Disney's Alice says, a "bad-tempered old tyrant."
Three things I have in common with them:
*I have a temper, though I'm better at controlling it than she is.
*I'm heavyset, as she's often portrayed.
*I like to bake, though I prefer making cookies to tarts.
Three things I don't have in common with them:
*I'm not a queen.
*I don't order beheadings.
*I haven't played croquet in many years.
Favorite line:
Her iconic refrain:
"Off with their heads!"
When the Dormouse says just one word out of turn during the trial:
"Collar that Dormouse! Behead that Dormouse! Turn that Dormouse out of court! Suppress him! Pinch him! Off with his whiskers!"
From the Disney version, when she's been humiliated:
"Someone's head is going to roll for this!"
brOTP: None in particular; possibly the Duchess, when she's not under sentence of execution for boxing the Queen's ears.
OTP: The King of Hearts.
nOTP: Alice.
Random headcanon: She really does put pepper in her tarts. Not as much as the Duchess's Cook would, but spiced cherry tarts – as spicy as her personality – are her specialty.
Unpopular opinion: I wish more adaptations would remember that she's a separate character from the Red Queen in Through the Looking-Glass. The Tim Burton movies and the '90s TV series Adventures in Wonderland both combine them into one character, and even Disney's animated Queen of Hearts speaks many of the Red Queen's lines from the second book. But they have nothing in common except that they're both queens associated with the color red, and both bossy and fairly unpleasant. The Queen of Hearts is a playing card while the Red Queen is a chess piece, and the Queen of Hearts is a raging, tyrannical blowhard who wants to behead everyone who annoys her, while the Red Queen is like a strict, fussy governess, always telling Alice what to do and how to behave. Still, I don't mind the fact that Disney's animated version gives her so many of the Red Queen's lines, because it makes her a better, more well-rounded villain for the screen: one who can turn her temper off and play the role of a proper, graceful lady when it suits her, instead of just shouting angry commands all the time.
Song I associate with them:
"March of the Cards" from the Disney film:
youtube
"Who's Been Painting My Roses Red?"
youtube
"Off With Their Heads" from the 1985 TV version:
youtube
The Tart Adage from Joby Talbot's ballet; a parody of the Rose Adage from Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty that's hilarious if you know the original:
youtube
Favorite picture of them:
John Tenniel's classic illustration:
This illustration by Arthur Rackham:
From the Disney film:


Flora Robson in the 1972 British film:
Jayne Meadows in the 1985 TV version:

Miranda Richardson in the 1999 TV version:

Helena Bonham Carter in the 2010 Tim Burton film:
Armelia McQueen in the '90s Disney Channel series Adventures in Wonderland, although she's a very different, much nicer Queen than we usually see – still pompous, spoiled, and hot-tempered now and then, but basically a good ruler and a good friend to Alice, with a fantastic R&B singing voice.

In two acts, this new ballet explores Wilde's rise to fame interposed with Wilde's story, 'The Nightingale and the Rose'; and then Wilde's fall and torment interposed with 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'.
The experience for this blogger was exhilarating - despite knowing the details of Wilde's story!
Melbourne Season: 13-24 September 2024 Sydney Season: 8-23 November 2024

Nach all dem dummen Zeug endlich mal wieder etwas Hochkultur, passend zur Jahreszeit, auch wenn es gar nicht so wirkt, The Winter's Tale. Nach Shakespeare! Getanzt! Liebe, Eifersucht, Tod, Verdammnis, Verzeihung, Auferstehung, alles geboten. Es ist ganz außerordentlich wunderbar. Zenaida Yanowsky stielt wieder allen die Show.

Habe dann auch nachgeschaut, was dieser Joby Talbot sonst noch so komponiert hat. Das letzte war der Score zu Wonka. Soviel zur Hochkultur.
