The children’s classic musical - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, failed when it was first released. People believed it was a little too dark for children. So much so, that the author - Roald Dahl, on whose book the movie was based, found it mediocre. But a few decades later, its songs and acting have developed a separate fan base of their own.
