What Charlie Buckett lacks in money, he makes up for it in the strongest character and personality. He lives in a ramshackle cottage with his parents and grandparents, eating on nothing but cabbage soup. In the town they live in is a chocolate factory run by the enigmatic Willy Wonka, who has shut himself off from the public after a series of scandals, among them building a palace made of chocolate for an Indian prince that melted under a hot sun and having his recipes stolen by jealous competitors. The gates to his factory are locked with nobody coming in and nobody ever coming out. Then, salvation. Wonka announces that he will be giving out golden tickets that will be hidden in Wonka Bars. Those who find them will be given a special, yet private tour of the factory. The first four tickets are found, but the winners, however, leave a lot to be desired in terms of personality. First there is Augustus Gloop, whose only hobby is eating (and is in great need of liposuction), the ever-whiny Veruca Salt who wants everything under the sun, gum chewing champion Violet Beauregard who could definitely use a few lessons in manners and the television-addicted, gun toting Mike Teavee.
