For the record, none of the children die.

[–] rotopenguin@infosec.pub 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't remember a whole lot of children surviving. They mostly got hauled off screen as some horrifying casualty, and that was that.

I can't recall with the new one, but the old version; Charlie, Gpa Joe, and Williy Wonka could see the other (umm... modified?) kids leaving the factory with their parents during the glass elevator ride once they bust out through a skylight.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah they survive... But with some lasting effects that might not be great....

That's literally their backstory in the novel afair.

[–] flicker@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

This is intentional.

I have read that the Oompa Loompas were originally just black people and even for the time the publisher thought that was a bit much.

[–] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

They were changed from African pygmies in later versions of the book. You can still find early copies which describe them explicitly as such:

Willy Wonka tamped down speculation that he made them of chocolate. “They are real people! They are some of my workers!” He advised the group that these tiny black people had been “Imported direct from Africa!” They belonged to “a tribe of tiny miniature pygmies known as Oompa-Loompas. I discovered them myself. I brought them over from Africa myself—the whole tribe of them, three thousand in all. I found them in the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man had ever been before.

The illustrations in the original book were very...um... politically incorrect.

[–] paysrenttobirds@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Haha, I thought you meant the loopmas, which is funny, too
