Title: Pure Imagination: The Making of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory by Mel Stuart, Josh Young ISBN: 0-312-28777-1 Publisher: St. Martin's Press Pub. Date: 01 November, 2002 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (6 reviews)

Summary: A good book only if you don't have the DVD.
Comment: While the book is interesting in and of itself, 80% of the content was already said in the audio commentary track of the DVD. The book reads like Mel Stuart listened to the commentary and retyped it out. Plus, even though the book is 160 pages, it's a very light read, you could do it in less than a day. I think it would have been better if there was more detail rather than just limiting all the topics to just one sentence each.

Summary: Come with me....
Comment: ...and you'll see a world of Pure Imagination. And pure imagination is what you get from this beauitfully done retrospective on one of the most important films of my generation: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, written by Mel Stuart and Josh Young.
Filled with pictures and wonderful stories, this book provides an enchanting, enjoyable walk down memory lane. You read starting from the original impetus to make the film, all the way to a fond reunion many years later of the kids and director.
Mel Stuart, being the film's director, has numerous and interesting insights to the creation of this classic. Some of the information in the book is also mentioned in a documentary on the Willy Wonka DVD, but no fear. It seems that if you love this movie, you simply cannot get enough of it!
This book was purcahsed for me as a gift, and it does make the perfect gift for anyone who loves this movie. Or buy it for yourself, curl up on a cold, rainy night, and relive all of those wonderful memories you have of this incredible movie.
Rating: 5
Summary: You've made me the happiest boy in the whole world!
Comment: Thank you Mel! Thank you first for bringing this wonderful film to life (and special thanks to your daughter for bringing the book to your attention), and thanks to you and Josh for bringing back to book form. The pictures alone are worth the price of admission, and the stories behind the scenes are even more valuable.
I treasure this movie, and now I will treasure the book. Thank you again. For everyone reading this review: If you love Willy Wonka, BUY THIS BOOK, it's a Golden Ticket.
