Popcorn Flicks in the Park: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

This film is a part of our Popcorn Flicks series, which is currently taking place in Winter Park’s Central Park once a month and is FREE and open to the public! These films are presented with open captions.

Join the expedition visiting legendary Candy Man Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) in a splendiferous movie that wondrously brings to screen the endlessly appetizing delights of Roald Dahl’s classic book. Coated with flavorful tunes and production design that constantly dazzles the eye, this effervescent musical never fails to enchant the young and old. On a whirlwind tour of Willy’s incredible, edible realm of chocolate waterfalls, elfish Oompa-Loompas and industrial-sized confections, a boy named Charlie (Peter Ostrum) will discover the sweetest secret of all: a generous, loving heart.
