'''''[[Willy Wonka &and the Chocolate Factory''']]'' is a 1971 American musical fantasy family film directed by Mel Stuart, and starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. It is an adaptation of the 1964 novel ''[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]'' by [[Roald Dahl]]. The script was reworked with major changes to the ending and added musical numbers, against Dahl's wishes.
 
The film was named to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2014.

It was shot in Munich, and this was intentional on the part of the filmmakers so the story would retain some timelessness.
* [[World Gone Mad]]: Wonka's factory, particularly his office, in which there is only half of everything.
