Faneditor Name: Uncanny Antman
Original Movie Title: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Fanedit Type: FanFix
Original Release Date: 1971
Original Running Time: 99 minutes
Fanedit Release Date: February 2009
Fanedit Running Time: 87 minutes
Time Cut: 12 minutes
Brief Synopsis:
Willy Wonka offers five people the chance of a lifetime, a personal tour of his famous chocolate factory. This edit is a gentle one, intended mainly to make the early scenes feel more realistic.
Intention:
My original intent was simply to remove two songs that I hate. In an effort to up the 'reality' of Charlieâs life, I decided to remove any songs prior to entering the factory. Hopefully, it makes Charlieâs life even more dreary, and by contrast increases the magical feeling of Wonkaâs factory.
Additional Notes:
This edit was really just done for myself so I didnât have to skip certain bits every time I watch the film. I share it only in the interest of helping any others like me who love the film, but would prefer a slight tweak.
Cuts and Additions:
Replaced âKid Friendlyâ WB logo with regular version.Removed opening credits and âCandymanâ song. Film opens on Charlie.
Removed Charlieâs mother singing, âCheer up, Charlie.â This song was my number one reason to edit.
Removed the âHusband taken, kidnappers want case of Wonka Barsâ section during the ticket hunt. I never cared for this bit for some reason. Most likely because it takes too long to get to such an obvious joke.
Removed Grandpa Joe and Charlie singing, âIâve Got a Golden Ticketâ I actually like this song, and its melody is referenced later in the film but in keeping with my approach to make the pre-factory scenes more believable, it had to go.
Fixed the final shot of Augustus going up the pipe. Tried to minimize the obviousness of the sped-up footage by smoothing out the motion, and slowing down the ripples in the chocolate river.
Removed brief section from Charlie and Grandpa Joeâs Fizzy Lifting Drink flight.
Fixed Wonkawash squeeze effect to remove repeated frames and film jumps.
Fixed Mikeâs TV appearance to remove obvious platform for actor to stand on.
Reframed shot of Wonka, Charlie and Joe getting into the Wonkavator to hide the fact that the top is not on the prop.
Replaced end credits scroll to include more actors.
Also smoothed or edited several jump cuts during the film. Some were film flaws, some were for effects purposes.

Seriously that right there would make me want to see this, I always hated how Grandpa who had been bedridden for years suddenly after 2 seconds of stumbling is dancing like a pro like one of those audience plants at a magical 'drink with benefits' stall. Then to top it off he sings I've got a golden ticket which makes him an even bigger asshole.
