Brand new factory sealed dvd is a single disc edition. Tiny endentation on the cover (bridge of his nose) is barely noticeable.

The story, like all good fantasies, is about a picturesque journey.

Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) is the world's greatest chocolate manufacturer. A chocolate bar sell-out contest is held in which he distributes five golden tickets hidden randomly in chocolate bars throughout the world. These are winning passes for an exclusive trip through his Top Secret factory and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Each pass goes to a kid who may bring an adult along, and our hero Charlie (Peter Ostrum) (a poor but honest newsboy who supports four grandparents and his mother) wins the last one.

The trip through the factory is pure psychedelic eye candy, no pun intended.

The other four kids are hateful in one way or another, and come to dreadful ends. One falls into the chocolate lake and is whisked into the bowels of the factory. He shouldn't have been a pig. Another is vain enough to try Wonka's new teleportation invention, and winds up six inches tall--but the taffy-pulling machine will soon have him back to size, right? Another turns into a giant blueberry, but the oompa-loompas will squeeze her back down to size. Another girl falls into a garbage chute.

If these fates seem a little gruesome to you, reflect that all great children's tales are a little gruesome, from the Brothers Grimm to Alice to Snow White, and certainly not excluding Mother Goose. Kids are not sugar and spice, not very often, and they appreciate the poetic justice when a bad kid gets what's coming to him.
