Free Music Notes for Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory: Music From The Original Soundtrack Of The Paramount Picture
Free Music Review: All these years later...
Hit: 3 Stars
Bought this for my granddaughter who absolutely loves this movie. It was one of my faves as a kid too. She wanted to sing along to the Oompah Loompah songs. This is NOT the best format for that because they are scattered throughout and not all verses are here, but we do listen to this often. Free Music Review: Everything went great.

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was a 1971 movie-musical adaptation of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," a 1963 children's book written by Roald Dahl, the famed author of children books such as "The Big Friendly Giant," "James and the Giant Peach," "Matilda," "George's Marvelous Medicine," and the sequel to this one, "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator." The 2006 remake of this film shared it's name with the original book by Dahl, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." The original movie version stayed less true to the book, and in so doing it freed itself up for more creative uses of cinematic effect. And one example of creative discretion they wisely took advantage of was the inclusion of the songs on this soundtrack:
"I've Got a Golden Ticket"
"Cheer Up, Charlie"
"The Candyman"
"Pure Imagination"
"Oompa Loompa"
and "I Want It Now"
This is a pretty good mix of songs for the time (1971) and the medium (film soundtrack). The soundtrack is complimented by the film's strength as a children's movie that attained an almost cult status due to its script, costumes, set design, and cast (especially the lead role of Willy Wonka played by Gene Wilder). The music accompanies all these aspects of the movie very well. However, you have to be in the right mindset in order to enjoy this movie. If you're in the right mood (for example, hungry) the chocolate in this movie just might pull you in for the moment.
I bought the CD because I wanted the option of listening to the music without the movie setting. That way, I could just skip from track to track and listen to the songs without having to rewind or fastforward on my VHS player.
I digress, though. Rent the movie if you haven't seen it.
