Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a 2017 direct-to-video movie about Tom and Jerry going with Charlie Bucket to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. It also has a similar story to the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory based on the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.

Plot

Tom and Jerry chase each other all over town as they search for food until Jerry disappears with a group of kids who go to Bill's Candy Shop. The store owner gives free candy to the kids, while Tom and Jerry continue their antics in the store. Charlie Bucket, a poor boy, stops Tom from eating Jerry and befriends them by offering them a piece of bread. As Charlie runs to his widowed mother and bedridden grandparents, Tom and Jerry steal a box of Wonka Bars from the store. Grandpa Joe reveals to Charlie that Willy Wonka locked down his famous chocolate factory because other candy manufacturers, including a rival named Arthur Slugworth, sent spies to steal his recipes. Wonka disappeared, but for three years he went back to selling sweets; the origin of Wonka's workforce is unknown. Tom and Jerry arrive at Charlie's house with the box of Wonka Bars, but Charlie convinces the two that the theft is wrong and they should return the box.

The next day, Wonka announces that he has hidden five golden tickets in Wonka bars. The inventors of the tickets will receive a tour of the factory and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Four of the tickets accidentally land in the wrong hands of Augustus Gloop, a greedy young man; Veruca Salt, a spoiled girl; Violet Beauregarde, a young woman in chewing gum; and Mike Teavee, an angry boy obsessed with television. As each winner is announced on television, a man whispers to them. Charlie opens a Wonka Bar, but can't find the Golden Ticket and loses hope. The newspapers announce that the fifth ticket was found by a gentleman named Alberto Minoleta (played by Droopy).

Tom and Jerry earn a dollar coin by recycling milk bottles, but lose it in the gutter after fighting over it. Charlie finds the coin and uses it to buy a Wonka Bar for Grandpa Joe. Television news reveals that Droopy was arrested for faking his ticket; when Charlie opens the Wonka Bar, he finds the fifth golden ticket. As he runs home, he is confronted by the same man seen whispering to the other winners, who introduces himself as Slugworth and offers to pay for a sample of Wonka's latest creation, the Everlasting Gobstopper. Charlie returns home with the Golden Tickets and chooses Grandpa Joe as his chaperone. The next day, Tom and Jerry rush to the factory with the Golden Ticket that Grandpa Joe forgot. When the children enter the factory, the film plays in the same order as the source material, with the occasional interjection of Tom and Jerry interacting with the factory.

Since only Charlie and Grandpa Joe remain, Wonka fires them without the promised chocolate. An extremely little Oompa-Loompa intern named Tuffy warns Charlie that Slugworth and Spike have stolen an Everlasting Gobstopper and are leaving the factory. After a fight in Wonkavision's living room, Charlie stops Slugworth. After that, Charlie and Grandpa Joe confront Wonka at the end of the tour. Wonka coldly explains that they violated the contract by stealing fizzy drinks and allowing Tom and Jerry to enter the factory and therefore they will receive nothing. Enraged by this, Grandpa Joe tries to protest, but Wonka angrily demands that all the humans must leave at once. Grandpa Joe then suggests to Charlie that he should give Slugworth the Gobstopper, but Charlie returns the candy to Wonka. Because of this, Wonka declares Charlie the winner. He reveals that Slugworth is actually Mr. Wilkinson, an employee of his, and the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a test of morality that only Charlie passed. The trio and Tuffy enter the "Wonkavator", a multi-directional glass elevator that leaves the factory. Tom and Jerry shrink Wilkinson and Spike to the problems they posed throughout the film and use Fizzy's yeast drinks to reach out to others. Flying over the city, Wonka reveals that his current prize is the factory; Wonka created the contest to find a worthy heir, while Charlie and his family can move in right away, including Tom and Jerry.
