Take an unforgettable, uniquely magical, musical journey through the deliciously delightful, whimsically wonderful world of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory when Fathom Entertainment celebrates the 55th anniversary of the beloved classic.

When eccentric candy man Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) promises a lifetime supply of sweets and a tour of his chocolate factory to five lucky kids, penniless Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) seeks the priceless golden ticket that will make him a winner. Thanks to his Grandpa Joe (Jack Albertson), Charlie gets the prize of his dreams. But a far more wonderful surprise than Charlie ever imagined awaits him.

In a land of chocolate waterfalls, giant lollipops, edible flowers and, of course, Oompa Loompas, it’s nonstop, mouth-watering fun in the timeless fantasy Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. Directed by Mel Stuart and based on the book by Roald Dahl, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory stars Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, Jack Albertson, Peter Ostrum, Roy Kinnear, Julie Dawn Cole, Leonard Stone, Denise Nickerson, Nora Denney, Paris Themmen, Ursula Reit, Michael Bollner and Diana Sowle.

This special 55th anniversary release includes exclusive insight from film critic and historian Leonard Maltin.
