My youngest daughter has been on a Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory fix this last week. She's always asking to to watch it, which is fine by me because I love this movie! This is one of those classic films I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching. As I was watching it with her earlier this week, I realized that I haven't done one of my Fun Facts lists for it yet, so here it is! This is actually the longest Fun Facts list that I've done so far, as it feature 25 bits of trivia. There's a lot of interesting stuff here that I never even knew. Look it over and if you have anything to add, let me know!
When the kids enter the Chocolate Room for the first time, and they see the candy gardens, their reactions are real, it was the first time that they saw that part of the set. They also didn’t know that Gene Wilder would emerge from the factory with a limp.

The "fun facts" in the article are so arbitrary.

George was a genuine guy, not like that devious bastard grandpa Joe.

Well then. Saw the thumbnail first and I was like "Oooh, Willy Wonka fact. This will probably be fun!"
