If we had to pick three movie songs that gave us the most feels, it would be Jiminy Cricket’s When You Wish Upon a Star, Dorothy’s Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and Willy Wonka’s Pure Imagination. Brendan Finucane played a heartwarming cover of the track to celebrate the Chicago Waldorf School’s 8th Grade Class of 2020.

Fizzy Lifting Math

Fizzy Lifting Math

Among the many memorable scenes in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory was the one where Charlie and Grandpa Joe steal Fizzy Lifting Drinks. While it’s impossible that sipping a little soda could lift a human, Kyle Hill of Because Science figured out how much gas it would have actually taken to send Charlie sky high.

(Gore) We always thought that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was pretty morbid for a kids’ movie. But the guys at Corridor revamped the film into something even more sinister, the chocolate river running red with blood, and children meeting far more gruesome ends. Will Charlie and Grandpa even make it?

We always enjoy listening to Ska Tune Network’s performances, and this might be our favorite yet. Crank up your headphones, and tune in for Jeremy Hunter’s smooth and jazzy ska cover of “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Recreating Willy Wonka’s Wallpaper

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory includes a classic scene where his guests try out fruit-flavored lickable wallpaper. The guys at Hellthy Junk Food replicated the idea, but went one better by printing theirs on edible paper. Also, we’re never tasting snozzberries.

After watching the short film Water Closet this week, we’ve got another cautionary tale about using public bathrooms. SNL’s hilariously weird sketch is a Willy Wonka-esque tale of a young man who visits a particularly nasty toilet.

Is Snowpiercer a Willy Wonka Sequel?

Is Snowpiercer a Willy Wonka Sequel?

On the surface, Snowpiercer and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory couldn’t be more different. But Rhino Stew’s theory that Joon-ho Bong’s enigmatic film is a sequel to the childhood favorite almost makes sense.

We are the music makers… and we are the dreamers of dreams. Remix artist Melodysheep presents a colorful new take on Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory with a chill hip-hop track made with footage and sounds from the 1971 classic. We love the transitions he added.

Drummer David Dockery is back with another rhythmic reinterpretation of a classic scene. This time, he transposed the dialogue from the famous fizzy lifting drink argument from Willy Wonka into a drumbeat. Listen to the beat without the voices here. “I said GOOD DAY!”

Sure, it’s just a commercial for Sony’s LED TVs, but the explosive imagery of paints flying everywhere, set to the voice of Gene Wilder’s Pure Imagination is good enough for our eyes and ears. Best watched in full screen 1080p.

Wonka: Legacy

Wonka: Legacy

Movie mashup du jour: Willy Wonka meets Kevin Flynn. When you do think about it, getting sucked into TRON’s Grid is sort of like being stuck inside the Wonka’s chocolate factory, no?

We always thought the original Willy Wonka movie was a little warped, but Sabri & James’ horror recut of the film will definitely give you nightmares. You heard him. He said Good Day, Sir.
