Though released in 2005, the movie still has a wide viewership. Why is this movie hitting the charts still? What is it that makes this movie so enjoyable apart from Johnny Depp?

Why is it still in the Top 10?

The movie is not only a children’s fantasy but also a real-life lesson. The wordsmiths of the movie have shown impressive skills here. So we picked many wisdom quotes from the original novel and Mr. Wonka, along with other characters, deliver them so effectively. One such quote is a few lines from an ode by Arthur O’Shaughnessy. “We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.” What a beautiful message that is!

Another dialogue by Grandpa Joe makes us dream and believe in them, too. He says, ‘I’ve heard tell that what you imagine sometimes comes true.’ Grandpa Joe spills words of encouragement that stick with the viewers. These words make one feel good when one loses hope.

The movie is full of inspirational words which make the viewers love the characters even more. Another thing is the star himself; Johnny Depp. He takes any character to a level where it becomes his new identity. Also, Freddie Highmore who plays Charlie in the movie is a realist. When he wins the ticket, instead of getting excited about the tour, he wants to sell the ticket to get the money that would help the family. As a child, the character is so sensitively sensible.

And of course, the much loved and every chocolate lover’s dream, the factory itself! The setting of the movie is so colorful, musical, and pleasing that we all wish to go there and eat a lot of chocolates!
