What if Walt Disney was the producer of Looney Tunes/Walt Disney Animated Classics/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 American musical fantasy animated film produced by Walt Disney. It is an adaptation of the 1964 novel of the same name by Roald Dahl. Dahl was credited with writing the film's screenplay; however, David Seltzer and Disney veteran animators Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng (who went uncredited in the film, except for Jones being credited as a co-director, along with live-action director Mel Stuart and Disney veteran animation director Wolfgang Reitherman, and Freleng as a co-producer, along with Disney and Reitherman) were brought in to re-work Dahl's screenplay against his wishes, making major changes to the ending and adding three new characters, Chucky, Patty and Shermy, Charlie's three talking pets, and Jenny, an “Oompa Loompa in Training", along with a subplot involving them, as well as musical numbers. These changes and other decisions made by Disney led Dahl to disown the film.

The film tells the story of Charlie Bucket (voiced by Peter Ostrum) as he receives a Golden Ticket and visits Willy Wonka (voiced by Gene Wilder)'s chocolate factory with four other children from around the world, while his three pets, Chucky, a dog, Patty, a cat and Shermy, a mouse, secretly accompany him to prevent one of Wonka’s rivals from stealing a special candy known as the Everlasting Gobstopper.

The film was released on June 30, 1971. With a budget of just $3 million, the film received generally positive reviews and was a box-office success. In 1972, the film won an Academy Award for Best Original Score. The film has since been regarded as one of Disney's greatest animated classics, notably one of the biggest cult classics in the animation medium, as well as one of the best film adaptations of a Roald Dahl novel. The film also introduced the song "The Candy Man", which went on to become a popular hit when recorded by Sammy Davis Jr.. In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
