PLOT: Charlie and the chocolate factory Charlie Bucket (FREDDIE HIGHMORE) is a nice kid from a poor family -- including his parents, (HELENA BONHAM CARTER & NOAH TAYLOR) along with Grandpa Joe (DAVID KELLY), Grandma Georgina (LIZ SMITH), Grandma Josephine (EILEEN ESSELL) and Grandpa George (DAVID MORRIS) -- that collectively lives in the shadow of the enormous Wonka Candy factory that dominates their small town. Grandpa Joe once worked in the factory for the highly imaginative but quirky owner, Willy Wonka (JOHNNY DEPP), but when rivals stole all of his secret candy formulas, Wonka fired everyone, shuttered the doors and hasn't been seen since. He's continued to make candy, however, with the aid of the tribesmen known as the Oompa Loompas (all portrayed by DEEP ROY), and has come up with what appears to be a brilliant marketing campaign. Inserted in just five of the millions of Wonka Bars distributed around the world are five golden tickets that will admit the bearer and one parent into the factory for a private tour and meeting with Wonka himself. Among the winners is Augustus Gloop (PHILIP WIEGRATZ), a German glutton who can't get enough chocolate and arrives with his mother (FRANZISKA TROEGNER). There's spoiled rich brat Veruca Salt (JULIA WINTER) who's accompanied by her businessman father (JAMES FOX) who gives her whatever she wants; brash TV addict Mike Teavee (JORDON FRY) and his dad (ADAM GODLEY); and the highly competitive and egotistical Violet Beauregarde (ANNASOPHIA ROBB) and her mom (MISSI PYLE). As luck would have it, Charlie is the fifth winner and he joins the group as they meet Wonka and enter his enormous factory. Happy to show off his candy inventions but uncomfortable around the kids and the notion of parents, Wonka is reminded of his own unhappy childhood where little Willy Wonka (BLAIR DUNLOP) had to deal with his stern, candy-hating dentist father (CHRISTOPHER LEE). As he deals with that and a number of the kids who get in over their heads due to their defining characteristics, Wonka has a big surprise for the child who turns out to be purest of heart.
