Timothée Chalamet plays a young Willy Wonka in this story of how the chocolate kingpin met the Oompa-Loompas. From the BAFTA-nominated director of Paddington and Paddington 2.

Now Showing in General Release

Foreground: With dreams of opening his first ever shop the young and poor aspiring confectioner Willy Wonka discovers that the lolly business is run by a cartel of greedy chocolatiers.

Background: Consider this fantastic family affair to be a prequel to the 1971 Gene Wilder-starring musical Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (and forget all about that Johnny Depp one). As a fresh origin story for Willy and also a musical comprised of all new (and insanely catchy) songs this lively funny and irresistibly imaginative movie just doesn't put a foot wrong throughout.

Close-Up: This is the only quality release of the Christmas-New Year period that covers all entertainment bases for all ages. The same team behind those amazing Paddington movies bring all the visual flair and amusing storytelling you could hope for and an admirably up-for-anything Timothee Chalamet (yes he can sing and he can dance!) leads a great support cast in the right directions.
