Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an upcoming animated film based on the book of the same name by Roald Dahl. The film is produced by Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment.

Characters

 * Willy Wonka - the eccentric owner of a candy factory.
 * Charlie Bucket - A boy who lives with his poor but loving family in a shack on the edge of the town that Mr. Wonka's factory is located in. Despite his lot in life, he is a good, self-sacrificing soul.
 * Augustus Gloop - An obese, greedy boy from Germany whose "hobby" is eating. He is the first Golden Ticket finder, and the first to fall prey to the factory's perils when he decides to drink directly from the Chocolate Room's river and winds up falling into it.
 * Violet Beaurgarde - A world-champion gum chewer from Georgia who is both prideful and rude. She is the second child to "drop out" of the tour when she samples an experimental stick of gum that Mr. Wonka doesn't have quite right yet.
 * Veruca Salt - A spoiled little rich girl from England who gets everything she wants. Notably, she didn't find the third ticket on her own — rather, her father (who runs a peanut factory) had his employees "shell" thousands of Wonka Bars until one of them found a ticket. She is the third child to be eliminated from the tour when her attempt to steal a trained, nut-sorting squirrel from The Nut Room ends with her tossed down a garbage chute that leads to an incinerator.
 * Mike Teavee - A boy from Texas whose favorite activity is watching television. He is the last bratty kid to be eliminated from the tour when he decides he wants to be "sent by television" via the Television-Chocolate setup.
