CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
598614
CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is a GREAT story! It's all about a little boy named Charlie who's poor with his family. All he wants in life is to bite into one of Willy Wonka's delicious candies. And then, eventually, he DOES! Because Wonka's having a contest. He's hiding five  Golden Tickets in five Wonka Bars. And whoever finds them will take a tour  through the entire Wonka Factory! And Charlie's one of the winners! But the  other four winners aren't like Charlie at all. They're bratty! There's  greedy Augustus Gloop, spoiled Veruca Salt, unkind Violet Beaureguarde, and  selfish Mike Teavee. But don't worry. They'll get all the punishments they  deserve. Because Wonka has a few tricks up his amazing sleeves!

We started this book after reading and loving Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is so good, I just want everyone in the world to read it.  The K'nids are SO funny when they write "scram" and that means "get out of here fast!" It made me laugh when Grandma Georgina said, "you chiseling old cheeseburger!!" to Mr. Wonka.  He is funnier than ever.  I wish some of his inventions were real.  We loved this book!

After reading my children the book and watching the movie together, I had their Christmas Elf bring them the tree as a "surprise". They are now a new generation of Charlie Brown Christmas Tree lovers!! The music makes it all the more meaningful. It is a sturdy little tree that will be a part of our family holiday decorations for years to come.

I loved the movie,Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I'm old and I still watch it. So of course I'm curious about what happened to the cast members like where are they now and what happened behind the scenes, and even their personal lives. This satisfied that craving to know very well thank you. I know this is only a one sided view of Julie's but an interesting one nonetheless.  I'm very glad she wrote this book. But if you'll excuse me, I have to go dust off my DVD copy of this movie and watch it again with a new perspective.

I just listened to this soundtrack all the way through and wow, what a difference. The background hiss from the original release and 2006 release is finally not there anymore. If there was one complaint you could lay against the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack, it was the hissing and fades. No more.

If you own the 2006 version already, there are two new tracks on this release: the Great Pumpkin Waltz and the Thanksgiving Theme.

One important item to note, the alternate takes from the 2006 release are NOT included in this album. If you have yet to purchase any versions of the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack, buy this album. Then search for the 2006 release and buy tracks 13-16. Do that and you'll have the complete collection!

A true classic film.  Much better than the newer Johnny Depp film (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).  10/10 Would Recommend.!

Charlie Bucket our hero
Grandpa Joe a tall cute grandpa

And
The Oompaloompas the wonderful singers
I like this book because I really love how Roald Dahl writes. I enjoy and laugh with this book. The funny thing is that Roald Dahl goes to extreme with his characters, to the extreme of bad or mean or crazy or whatever .I really tell you read this boooooooooooooooooooook

It's an excellent compilation of children's stories, with very good ilustrations and very well paced. children as well as parents reading and sharing them will have a great time. It's a good moment to move away from the videogames and return to those great stories that are so full charm and creativity. Enticing like the smell of a rich cup of chocolate or a luscious chocolate bar...

Perfectly done family picture. Truly has thee feel of the original Charlie Brown films. They used state of the art 3D animation and yet manage to bring you the feel of a drawn movie, very much has the spirit of the original's, perhaps the only thing that might be lacking for some is the spiritual overtones that would often come with Shulz's characters, but it has all the wamrth and fun, and Snoopy really gets to shine as well as Charlie Brown and the whole gang!

I cannot believe how many years its been since I added this title to the "contact me when DVD is available" list on Amazon. I thought I put a review up of this movie years ago but I'm not seeing it now, so I'll give it a go now:

I've got this VHS, and it's long since been my favorite Peanuts movie.  It's got the best music and animation of their theatrical releases, and the story is pretty good too.  The other reviews have covered the story part though so I'll mention other thoughts...

Every year goes by and more and more Peanuts releases come out, all the other movies, and most of the TV stuff is now out there (maybe it all is, for all I know) but for some reason this one remains in the vaults somewhere.  WHY???  With many of those releases being of lower quality/inferior productions, I suspect there is some issue with the rights for this.  The way the Schultz estate has pushed all those numerous other titles, you KNOW that if they could have done this one, they would have.

I love this movie, I can quote probably 95% of it while watching it, I know it that well.  I'd love to get a good release of it on DVD, but for now the VHS has to suffice.  I'd really like it if they could do an "isolated score" on the DVD, (but I doubt that will ever happen) because I like the music on this movie so much.  The combination of a rock band, with some flute and horns and a well-recorded harmonica really make the music on here stand out.  The lead singer of the songs, Larry Finlayson, he did one or two of the Peanuts TV shows as well, and does an excellent job here!

I truly hope that whatever issues that have kept this out of the digital domain get ironed out and it will see a DVD release.  Maybe with some kind of "real" bonus features too (please don't tack on some "Charlie Brown shows you how to brush your teeth" bit, which I remember seeing on TV, actually!)

I rated this 5 stars, because I think it's the best of the Peanuts in animation.

I was so happy to find A Garfield Christmas story on Amazon. I remember watching this cartoon when it first aired in 1987. My mom recorded it on VHS, but over the years the quality of the picture declined and who owns VCRs these days. I can't wait to have my future children watch this during Christmas time!

Charlie Brown is making history fun and memorable in these brief presentations. I had the VHS tapes when my kids were young and was so thrilled to see them now out on DVD. I have been creating "grandma boxes" (for the time I have grandkids) that have children's books and movies that my kids loved...(The Little Engine That Could, The Giving Tree....etc). These DVD's will find a home in that bin!
