Editing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

'''''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory''''' is a children's novel written by [[Roald Dahl]], originally published in 1964. It has been adapted into two feature films: a 1971 film titled ''{{w|Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory}}'', and ''{{w|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory}}'' in [[2005]].

The story centers on a young boy named {{w|List of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory characters#Charlie Bucket|Charlie Bucket}}, whose bad luck turns around when he finds a golden ticket inside a chocolate bar, winning him a tour of Wonka Chocolate Factory. On the tour with four other children, Charlie meets the eccentric owner {{w|Willy Wonka}} and the [[Oompa-Loompa]]s who operate the factory. The other four children are ejected from the factory in unusual ways as a result of their selfish desires, leaving Charlie as the winner and heir of the factory.

The book and its film adaptations have been referenced numerous times on ''[[The Simpsons]]''.
