The 2005 version adds a significant backstory for Wonka involving his father, a dentist played by Christopher Lee. While some critics felt this grounded the character, others argued it was an unnecessary addition that slowed the narrative.

Reinterprets Wonka as a traumatized recluse rather than a magical guide.
