To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1971 release of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the family classic that holds a special place in the hearts of so many is now available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (with previously released special features). Directed by Mel Stuart, the film explores what happens when the reclusive Candy Man Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) opens his chocolate factory to five lucky kids who enter thinking that they’ll be given a tour and shown all of the secrets, but who actually end up learning life lessons that they’ll never forget.

During this recent virtual interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, co-stars Peter Ostrum (“Charlie Bucket”), Julie Dawn Cole (“Veruca Salt”), Paris Themman (“Mike Teevee”) and Michael Bollner (“Augustus Gloop”) talked about what it’s like to have their childhood forever immortalized, whether they actually had access to candy on the set, the memories that most stand out to them from working with Wilder, and what it’s like to see how much the film has inspired other aspects of entertainment since its release.
