Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

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. And you’ll rediscover the timeless magic of a delicious family classic.

Starting in April, all JBFC Kids screenings will offer $5 tickets for everyone—kids and adults alike! Enjoy family-friendly films every Saturday at 11:00 AM, plus our monthly sensory friendly screenings all at this new, lower price.

Inclusive and affordable family programs are made possible thanks to the JBFC’s Connecting Our Community Fund. For more information or to make a gift to Connecting Our Community, please contact Judy Exton, JBFC Director of Development at jexton@burnsfilmcenter.org or 914.7673.7663, ext. 414.

Family Friendly

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is probably the best film of its sort since The Wizard of Oz. It is everything that family movies usually claim to be, but aren't: Delightful, funny, scary, exciting, and, most of all, a genuine work of imagination."
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This film is part of the JBFC Kids series.
