Willy Wonka: Kids2Candy

Everyone knows about Willy Wonka but most of us aren’t aware of the dark origins of this story and its association with cannibalism. In order to understand this, we break down a lot of Roald Dahl’s work and compare it to some other films that Tim Burton has worked on to make connections that other fan theories have yet to connect.

This film has been coming back into the collective conscious lately, so let’s take another look at these films with new eyes. There was always something unsettling about these films… Why was it so popular and promoted by the mainstream media as a fun children’s tale? Here’s more from Mind Unveiled.

A113: Secret Pedovore Code

Everywhere you look in cartoons, you’ll see the number A113. Hollywood claims it’s an inside joke. It began with graduates from California Institute of the Arts, including Brad Bird, John Lasseter and Tim Burton. Supposedly this was a classroom commonly used by graphic design and cartooning students on that campus.

But patriots now charge that’s a lame excuse. In actuality, they say, A113 is shorthand for adrenochrome, the chemical compound that pedovores extract from the glands of murdered children. If this is the case, it renders much of the output of Pixar as derelict and deviant, along with Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad and many Disney films, among them Lilo & Stitch and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Now and Forever

It’s a Halloween movie set at Christmastime, but this one interlude from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is really more appropriate for Valentine’s Day. Jack Skellington and the ragdoll Sally sing “Now and Forever” before sharing a kiss on a moonlit night.

Vincent

SALUTE TO EDGAR ALLAN POE

Even though it clocks in at less than six minutes, this 1982 stop-motion animation by Tim Burton remains one of his most  endearing and imaginative works. Vincent Price narrates the story of a precocious, young boy with an active fantasy life who avidly reads Edgar Allan Poe and dreams of growing up to become…Vincent Price.

Frankenweenie Sneak

Director Tim Burton offers a glimpse of his upcoming 3-D black-and-white stop-motion animation, a parody of and homage to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. This is Burton’s second treatment of  the same material, as he previously created a short version of Frankenweenie in 1984. The new feature, due out on Oct. 5, tells the story of young Victor, who harnesses the power of science to bring back to life his beloved dog Sparky.  Victor tries to keep Sparky under wraps, but the creature can’t stay penned up, escaping to wreak havoc with Victor’s friends and neighbors. Vocal talents include several Burton regulars — Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara and Martin Landau, among them, with Christopher Lee in an uncredited cameo portraying Dracula in an old movie playing on TV.
