The two best-known film adaptations are:

• "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971): Directed by Mel Stuart, starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.
• "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005): Directed by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka

The 1971 film, "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," had a more magical and whimsical tone, with a Wonka (Gene Wilder) who was both warm and mysterious. The 2005 film, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," directed by Tim Burton, was darker and more quirky, truer to Roald Dahl's original spirit, featuring a Wonka (Johnny Depp) who was more socially awkward and childlike, with an emphasis on his traumatic past. The 2005 version also had more complex visual effects and a more elaborate depiction of the factory and the Oompa Loompas.
