This film with a unique atmosphere appeals to Netflix subscribers, who enjoy its unique visual offering with their families!
Netflix subscribers massively watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so much so that it is currently in the top 10 most viewed films on the platform. It brings together Johnny Depp and Tim Burton for the fourth time, after Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow.
Charlie is a child from a disadvantaged family. Every penny counts, and he often has to deprive himself of the sweets he wants so much. Determined to finally get the treats that other children can afford, Charlie enters a competition organized by the eccentric Willy Wonka, the town’s chocolate maker…

Tim Burton directing, his friend Johnny Depp in the lead role, a very particular universe to be put into images requiring an artist’s vision, a children’s story adapted from Roald Dahl and Danny Elfman to music, what is could something go wrong?
And indeed, everything works perfectly! From the childish look that Tim Burton gives to this chocolate factory to the aesthetic with which each detail of the decor seems to have been chosen.
With an average rating of 3.9 out of 5 on AlloCiné, spectators agree with the press which rated it 4 out of 5 when it was released in 2005. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a “eloquent satire” for PowerKing, a “exceptional film” for William G., a “fascinating tale” for MoviesGeek and for horto, it’s a film that “feels good, it tastes good, we enjoy savoring it.”
Warner Bros.
And obviously, the majority of Netflix viewers are of the same opinion.
Since you are here
If the little boy in the film rings a bell, it’s because he’s Freddie Highmore, hero of Neverland, already with Johnny Depp, and it’s the famous actor who recommended him to Tim Burton for the role of Charlie in this feature film. You probably also recognized the young Freddie Highmore because he grew up and became the star of the series Bates Motel and The Good Doctor.

As for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory universe, it will soon be enriched with a new feature film, simply titled Wonka, signed by the director of Paddington, and centered on Willy Wonka’s youth. It is Timothée Chalamet’s turn to play the character this time, in this film which is released in cinemas on December 13.
