The year was 1971.. how did they film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?

^^ Same here. In my 27 years, I've seen this movie over 20 times. Mike Teevee was my favorite character.

QFT, I don't think any other film at all can compare in terms of the special effects and the technological limitations that existed at the time of filmmaking, simply masterful.
 
THE WIZ was amazing too 1978 and it has to be one of the best longest movies i know, im not even joking.
 
LOL, 1971 is nothing significantly old. King Kong was filmed 30 years earlier and had many breakthroughs in the special effects category.

Filmmakers were way more resourceful back then. These days, they just CGI everything that looks even somewhat of a challenge.
 
my kids love watching the old school willy wonka, i even bought the soundtrack and we listen and sing it in the car

they don't make movies like that anymore, too bad.

Kids love mary poppins too.


funny thing, back in those days, Augustus Gloop was FAT, but nowadays because of all the obesity, he just looks a little chubby. by today's standards.

I'm lost on this thread. Talked up the movie like it had crazy special effects. Nothing in it was shocking as far as visuals.

Apparently Roald Dahl (the author of the original novel) hated the movie and disowned it

Had no idea that was charlies only acting job or that Dahl hated the movie. It's a classic at any age. I still try to eat chocolate like Charlie did when he got that on long chocolate bar that was pre-cut into squares. He made it look so good and I always try re-create that lol
