Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central narrative champions individual moral responsibility and the consequences of personal failings, rewarding humility and virtue while critiquing entitlement and greed.
The film features traditional casting with a predominantly white ensemble and does not include explicit race or gender swaps for established roles. Its narrative focuses on a morality tale, critiquing character flaws rather than traditional identities, and does not incorporate explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The Oompa Loompas, originally described as African pygmies with dark skin in the 1964 novel, were portrayed with orange skin and green hair by actors of various races in the 1971 film adaptation. This constitutes a change from their canonically established race.
The film 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a magical factory tour and moral lessons without engaging with queer identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1971 film adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel retains the established genders for all major characters from the source material. No character canonically established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in the film.
