Last year Hayley performed in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory for the school play. To prepare we ended up watching this movie quite a few times so we were thrilled to receive the Willy Wonka Ultra HD Blu-Ray Combo Pack and Digital from Warner Brothers Entertainment.
This fun family film is one that my family will watch over and over again! Singing along to all the catchy songs while rooting for Charlie Bucket in the chocolate factory brings such joy to my family watching. The story is an absolute must watch that is the true definition of a classic. This movie is good ole’ fun mixed with great songs, fun acting, and of course chocolate. This is one movie you should add to your DVD collection in celebration of the 50th anniversary of this beloved film.
