Where To Watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory follows Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a kind and poor boy who lives with his parents and four grandparents in a small, struggling household. His life changes when eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) announces that five Golden Tickets have been hidden inside his chocolate bars, giving their holders a chance to enter his mysterious factory. Charlie discovers the final ticket and enters the extraordinary factory with Grandpa Joe (David Kelly). Alongside him are four very different children—spoiled Veruca Salt, competitive Violet Beauregarde, television-obsessed Mike Teavee, and chocolate-loving Augustus Gloop. As the tour progresses through chocolate rivers, edible gardens and bizarre inventions, each child's personality leads to increasingly memorable consequences. At its heart, the film combines fantasy, comedy and adventure with themes of family, kindness, greed and self-control, while Tim Burton gives Roald Dahl's famous story a darker, visually distinctive style.
