Product Information

This transformation is a textual whitewashing that obscures the power dynamic between Wonka as factory owner and the Oompa-Loompas as his exploited workforce.

In 2005, Tim Burton produced the second cinematic adaptation of Charlie. In Burton’s revision, the Oompa-Loompas are played by a single actor ( Gurdeep Roy) who is digitally cloned to create the illusion of a sizeable workforce.Of Grant’s appearance in the trailer of the film, which will not be released in the UK until December, he said: “They’ve enlarged his head so his head looks bigger. [I thought] what the hell have you done to him?” In the 2005 film adaptation, Veruca's elimination remains nearly the same as in the book, with only a few changes. Her demeanor is less vehement, but more obnoxious and manipulative, as compared to the 1971 film version. Also in the 2005 film, it is revealed that she owns a pony, two dogs, four cats, six rabbits, two parakeets, three canaries, a parrot, a turtle, and a hamster, totaling up to 21 pets. The pony is not mentioned in the book. The novel reflects cultural anxieties that emerged in the United Kingdom in the 1960s when the labour market opened to New Commonwealth citizens from India and the Caribbean. Grandpa Joe, a former Wonka employee who is laid off, represents the concerns of white British workers who saw immigrants as rivals for what they believed were rightfully white British jobs.

King’s new film tells the story of eccentric chocolatier Wonka attempting to establish his business in a closed-shop market, where his unorthodox ways are not welcome. They are also mentioned in the 1971 feature film adaptation, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, but only as predators of the Oompa-Loompas. Wonka discovered the Oompa-Loompas while searching for new ingredients for his candy, and lived with them for a few days, learning their culture and desire for cocoa beans. He then offered to bring them to his factory, where they can live and become his workers in exchange for an endless supply of cocoa-related products. The leader of the Oompa-Loompas agreed to his offer, and the Oompa-Loompas have been living there since. In these original musical numbers, the Oompa Loompas critique the children visiting the chocolate factory for eating, getting “terribly fat” or “chewing all day long” like a cow.

Hugh Grant may have been cast in a film about a chocolate factory, but according to its director, it was not for his sweet nature. Kelly, Helen (25 January 2016). "You won't believe what Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Mike Teavee looks like now…". Express.co.uk . Retrieved 16 September 2017. For the first time, the Oompa-Loompas use information technology to communicate wirelessly, enlisting supercomputers to improve their productivity and profits. As a messianic figure, Wonka believes he has “rescued” the Oompa-Loompas from certain death. Saving his tiny “helpers” from near starvation, he offers them shelter from their predators, the Snozzwangers and Whangdoodles. Wonka asks “So you’re the funny little man who’s been following me?” to which the creature responds: “I will have you know that I am a perfectly respectful size for an Oompa Loompa.”
