Before the golden tickets, before the Oompa-Loompas, and long before the world's most famous chocolate factory opened its doors, there was just a young man with a hat full of dreams. Meet Willy Wonka. Armed with nothing but a few coins and a spectacular imagination, Willy arrives in the big city ready to share his extraordinary chocolate creations with the world. But he quickly discovers that the candy business is fiercely controlled by a greedy cartel of rival chocolatiers who will stop at nothing to keep him out. To make matters worse, a tricky contract leaves him stuck working in a gloomy washhouse. But Willy Wonka is not easily defeated. With the help of a clever new friend named Noodle and a dash of pure imagination, he sets out to outsmart the candy villains and prove that the best things in life begin with a dream. Based on the hit movie, this magical prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is packed with wild inventions, hilarious mayhem, and plenty of heart. Step inside a world where anything is possible, as long as you have a little bit of magic and a lot of chocolate.
