The 2005 is better. It has a great Charlie (Freddie Highmore), a great intro and the kids. The 1971 is not that bad but it has a bad Wonka. The old Wonka is even more scarier than the 2005 ( he even scolded Charlie and Grandpa Joe). 2005 wins!
I really love both of these movies. However, you can't really compare the two because they're both different. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a good old-fashioned musical, wheareas Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is strange and whimsical, but also has some dark elements (in other words, Charlie is closer to the book than Wonka).
@Pacacoca Tim Burtons 2005 version followed the book a lot more, and besides, his dark atmosphere relives the madness and adventure that was in the book, and thats why I like the new one. Besides Tim (along with Roald Dahl for that matter) didn't like the 1971 version because it followed loosely from the book and didn't like Wilders performence as Wonka and do you remember a tunnel with bugs crawling on peoples faces and chickens getting their heads cut off in the book? No u don't.
I like the old one best because it's not near as disturbing as the new movie. the new one is so creepy and kind of sad in the end. In the new one willy wonka gets so angry at charlie just because he wants to bring his family to the chocolate factory. In the old one willy wonka wants him to bring his family. the old one is amore kids movie. the new is just out of the question.
Excellent video, really well edited and nice to see the films side by side! Although I love the new film for many, many reasons, and even though I think Johnny Depp is a wonderful actor, I think the old film is much better. Willy Wonka's character is all about having fun, having hope. I reckon the whole point of the book is that Charlie's life is so bad, but Wonka will make it alright because he's a mystical being. In the old one they emphasises his magic, the the new it's about him being creepy
Gene is king they should had never even tried to compare to him. there isnt even a tunnel of death, or true sarcasm, or really singing, or midgets basicly the redone verson needs to go in the garbage followed by the true ompa song!

I never liked the new one.
Why did Tim Burton changed it to a dark, creepy movie? the old one was definitely better.
I don't care about if the quality is better, if the kids look better or if Willy Wonka is Johnny Depp.
The characters' development in the old one is way better. Wilder will always be the best Wonka.

@crazyrayboys is there a tunnel of hell in the new one?
NO
Is slugworth in the new one?
NO
does wonka have a tantrum about charlie and the fizz lifting drinks in the new one?
NO
does charlie get upset when he finds out there"s like 32% that he will get a golden ticket?
NO!!!!
the old one is much more creepy dark and even sad at some points and him allowing Charlie's family is a part of the better happy ending
