The Willy Wonka prequel is NOT a prequel to this movie. It is not a prequel to any existing incarnation of the character, and is more so a prequel to the Willy Wonka from the book. This section should be removed from this page as the 'Wonka prequel has no direct relation to 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 2600:8807:C0C6:B200:41C9:B011:290E:D80C (talk) 04:10, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
This article describes that the Wonka prequel will be set in it's own universe separate from this film. https://discussingfilm.net/2021/06/05/nathan-crowley-joins-wonka-exclusive/
This article, that broke the news of Chalamet's casting several weeks ago, claims that the prequel is based only on "characters created by Roald Dahl". https://deadline.com/2021/05/timothee-chalamet-willy-wonka-warner-bros-1234762658/
It has no relation to this movie. If you insist on keeping this section on the page, there should at least be a similar "prequel" section on the page of 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethanhart129 (talk • contribs)
@Ethanhart129: Thank you first of all for all of your contributions to the article. I've looked into it as well and it seems as though the recording date of the score is not verifiable. Unless we find a reliable source that explicitly states "the score was recorded between 2004 and 2005", we might as well scratch the "recorded" parameter in the infobox. Would you agree?

Regarding my edit removing the hatnote: Doniago, from my experience roaming Wikipedia, hatnotes are usually used when the titles of two works or names of two people are either the same or very similar. I thought that the distinction between the two film titles was clear enough since the 1971 adaptation has a unique title compared to the book and the 2005 adaptation; I assumed most people are familiar with this. Perhaps, there's evidence that the 1971 film is sometimes mistakenly referred to as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? If so, I wasn't aware of it. Throast (talk | contribs) 22:34, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
I propose that the section Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)#Music to be split into a separate page called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (soundtrack). The section is individually too lengthy and off-topic and can be large enough to make their own page. 122.162.75.39 (talk) 06:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
It seems unreasonable to compare this film's box office returns, which is nearly 20 years old, to those of Wonka (2023). Adjusted for inflation, the 2005 film would have grossed over 700 million in today's US$. Individual sources comparing the two without acknowledging inflation whatsoever should not be be used per WP:RS imo. Throast {{ping}} me! (talk | contribs) 21:38, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
