Special Features

• In-Movie Experience collects trivia, featurettes, and graphic-based tomfoolery, deploying the additions with a PIP presentation during the film.

• Audio Commentary with director Tim Burton is fairly typical of the filmmaker's previous conversations: some solid information and insight rudely divided by long gaps in silence. Despite his numerous contributions to home entertainment supplementary offerings, talking up his own work is not Burton's forte, leaving the track on the quiet side, with listeners spending more time hearing the movie play than the man who helped to create it. Fans of the director should find a few anecdotes amusing, but this is hardly a gripping overview of the picture's lengthy execution.

• "Chocolate Dreams" (6:57, SD) is a broad making-of featurette, focusing on the development and approach of the picture, which returned to the Roald Dahl book for inspiration, searching beyond the page to understand these characters and elongate the plot. Interviews with cast and crew are direct and brief, hitting only a few topics of discussion.

• "Different Faces, Different Flavors" (10:39, SD) talks up the casting of the picture, specifically Johnny Depp, who delighted the producers when he showed interest in the part. Also of significance is the discussion of the child actors, who are all interviewed here, sharing their passions and youthful energy. Some BTS footage is incorporated to convey the on-set spirit.

• "Designer Chocolate" (9:36, SD) sits down with production designer Alex McDowell, who walks through the various environments of the film, chatting up details and scale, exploring Burton's unique visual thumbprint. Set tours and footage of construction are also included. Focus soon moves over to costuming, exposing how Johnny Depp's Wonka look was assembled.

• "Under the Wrapper" (6:58, SD) investigates the enormous visual and practical effects struggle, isolating a handful of scenes from the film to clarify creative choices and construction challenges. Yes, the river of chocolate is real, involving quite a process to sustain the illusion.

• "Sweet Sounds" (7:17, SD) meets up with composer Danny Elfman, who discusses his participation in the aural presence of the feature, coming up with various musical genres to open up the Oompa-Loompa element of the film. There's also time spent with repetitive choreography, observing how the dances were worked out.

• "Becoming Oompa-Loompa" (7:16, SD) spotlights performer Deep Roy, a single actor employed to portray an entire community of Wonka workers. Asked to learn various vocational skills and musical instruments, Roy was the central figure of the visual effects, required to provide subtle differences between the Loompas. Also of interest is the creation of Deep Roy animatronics, used to keep CGI requirements down to a comfortable level.

• "Attack of the Squirrels" (9:49) isolates the incredible task of training the little critters for their big brawling scene with Veruca Salt. Squirrels wranglers are interviewed, along with Burton, who can't quite believe his nutty idea to stick with the real thing was implemented.

• "Fantastic Mr. Dahl" (17:42, SD) is a featurette devoted to the accomplishments and crazy tonality of the late writer's work. Close friends and family are interviewed, and some footage of the author is presented.

• Pre-Vis Augustus Gloop dance (2:06, SD) and Pre-Vis Mike Teavee Dance (1:32, SD) present two early passes at immense musical numbers, mixing crude CGI with footage of Deep Roy in rehearsals.

• Club Reel (2:54, SD) is a surreal Oompa-Loompa performance clip used to help promote the picture at dance establishments around Europe.

A Theatrical Trailer (2:26, SD) is included.
