Synopsis

This section needs rewriting, mainly because there is no actual synopsis contained in it. The other film and the book both have a description of the storyline, this does not. kevin 15:03, 01 August 2005

Film prints and publicity from Paramount?

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There should be surviving prints and publicity from Paramount, correct? After all, this film was distributed by Paramount. --Gh87 (talk) 23:04, 19 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Could someone please add some stuff about the 40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition to the "Home Media" section? It includes the same widescreen DVD and the same Blu-Ray Disc released before, a new interview with Mel Stewart, and a copy of his book, Pure Imagination: The Making of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. 134.48.91.44 (talk) 17:46, 1 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

I can't edit the references

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Reference 7 is not the correct link. It should link to "http://www.filmsite.org/cultfilmsew.html". Sorry but when I try to edit the references it just shows me {Reflist}

Go to the part of the article in the editing box in which the reference is. Edit it there. Adding "{Reflist}" is just a template message used to show the reflist. Also, remember to sign your posts with four tildes.

Add mention of Willy Wonka meme?

Latest comment: 12 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

The Willy Wonka meme is quite popular on the Internet these days http://www.troll.me/meme/willy-wonka-gene-wilder/

Maybe this warrants a mention in the article, what do you think? E.g. we could add a subsection "Reception" --> "In popular culture" for it.

Have any third-party reliable sources taken note of it? Doniago (talk) 14:32, 9 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Did a quick search, it is mentioned e.g. in this Forbes article (search for "meme" in the article): http://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyclay/2012/05/01/seomoz-raises-18-million-in-venture-capital-from-foundry-group-and-ignition-partners/

Also, the Peruvian newspaper La República has an article devoted to it: http://www.larepublica.pe/29-04-2012/condescending-wonka-el-meme-de-moda-en-facebook

(Google translation here: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.larepublica.pe%2F29-04-2012%2Fcondescending-wonka-el-meme-de-moda-en-facebook&act=url )

Looks good to me, what do you think?

It gets exactly one mention in the Forbes article; I wouldn't consider that significant, especially as it's lumped in with others. I'm unable to review the other source presently. I can't recommend inclusion at this time, but if other editors chime in I'm willing to abide by their thoughts on the matter. Doniago (talk) 13:04, 15 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
