Does Willy Wonka not like bubble gum? Or does he not like compulsive chewers? [Wonka is simply uncomfortable around people. Gum chewing is simply an annoyance he never had to put up with as a recluse.]

The "questions" section is for any random questions that occurred to you while watching this film, or anything you didn't entirely understand, and which Google or the IMDb can't help with. Submit them as a question, and hopefully someone will answer (the bold comments in brackets) - check back regularly. If the answer is wrong, or missing information, please use the "clarify answer" option. Don't feel limited - want to know what music played in a certain scene? Whether this was the first film to use a certain effect? Here's the place to ask!

Who are the motorbike riders who put the flyers up announcing the Golden Tickets? They're too tall to be Oompa-Loompas. [Presumably they were hired by Wonka in some manner. They may, for example, be the men who usually drive his delivery trucks for him.]

If the Bucket's were very poor, then why do they even have TV? Why don't they use the extra money for food? [The Buckets weren't always dead broke. The TV may have been purchsed before they became impoverished.]

Why would Willy Wonka rather not talk about the pink sheep-shearing room? [Because is probably just one of those weird and wonderful things, like much of Wonka's world, that he could not really explain simply, thus feeling it was best left unsaid altogether.]
I don't quite understand how Willy Wonka's father's house could have moved away from the rest of the block. Could anyone explain that to me? [It's a joke. It shows what great lengths Dr. Wonka went to to distance himself from his son, by making sure even his childhood home would be gone, but to ponder how this happened is useless. It's a simple joke, nothing more.]

If it's such a hi-tech factory, why is Doris still using an old fashion typewriter when they wave to her? [Perhaps she prefers the old style typewriter. Besides, the film seems to be set in a parallel time where modern items and more antique items exist quite happily side by side.]
Upon first meeting each other, Veruca says "Let's be friends", and Violet replies "best friends". I get a strange feeling this is a reference to something. Is it, and if so, what? [They're there to compete, but are pretending to really like each other. It's not a reference to anything specific.]

What video game was Mike Teevee playing and what system is it for? [It's not a real game - the sequence was created specifically for the film by a company called Digi-Guys based in Ealing Studios in the UK. The software used was Softimage XSI and Digital Fusion.]
