Do the Oompa-Loompas live here, too?
I had no idea that Chicago had so much to do with the production of the candy and the film! Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is one of my favorite movies of all time! I don't prefer the newer version with Johnny Depp in it, however.
Anyone know the story behind that Gobstopper movie clip?
