Enter a world of pure imagination this Easter and celebrate the 40th anniversary of the classic childhood film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with an extra special copy of the DVD.
Directed by Mel Stuart and starring the legendary Gene Wilder as the unforgettable and eccentric chocolatier, Willy Wonka, the film has enthused and inspired generations for four decades.
Its mischievous and whimsical narrative captured the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide and firmly established the film as a cult classic that all the family can enjoy again and again.
The film’s cult classic status also captured the imagination of acclaimed director Tim Burton and proved the inspiration behind his 2005 adaptation of the story, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - also available on DVD this Easter.
The film stars Hollywood A-lister Johnny Depp who reprises the zany Willy Wonka role with panache, alongside a stellar cast including Helena Bonham Carter (Mrs Bucket) and Freddie Highmore (Charlie Bucket).
Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, both films follow the magical journey of Charlie Bucket and friends in their quest to find the Golden Ticket and gain access to the mysterious Wonka Factory - where chocolate rivers are tended to by magical Oompa Loompa’s from Loompa Land, candy can make you fly and even the grass is edible!
Along the way, mild disasters befall each of the children as they all battle to win the big prize - a deliciously delightful year’s supply of Wonka chocolate.
This Easter the whole family can relive and delight in the devilish antics that unfold within the chocolate factory as Violet Beauregarde has an unfortunate run-in with a blueberry and Augustus Gloop’s eyes get too big for his belly. And there’s an extra special surprise in store for Charlie Bucket beyond even his wildest dreams
Whichever version you prefer, there’s something to keep the whole family entertained this Easter and beyond!
One lucky winner can also be in with the chance of winning a £10,000 prize with a Golden Ticket to be found in every copy of the DVD throughout April and May.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are available on DVD, Blu-ray and to download.
