History WesternAnimation / TomAndJerryWillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory

Due to some [[AshcanCopy complicated studio politics]] on the part of Creator/WarnerBros, it ended up stalling the WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryDirectToVideoFilmSeries for a time, and also resulted in Creator/RoaldDahl's estate revoking the film rights to ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' from WB and giving them to Creator/{{Netflix}}, though WB did acquire the rights to do a prequel to the original film some time before the release of the ''Tom and Jerry'' one in the form of ''Wonka'', starring Creator/TimotheeChalamet as the title character, currently scheduled for a March 2023 release.

* EndOfAnAge: This was the last Tom and Jerry movie to be done in digital ink since "The Magic Ring", as the next direct-to-video movie would be done in the same animation as ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow2014''.

* FurryConfusion: Animals are shown to hold jobs in this universe, but in the background we see a dog on a leash at one point.

* {{Panty Shot}}: Veruca Salt falls down into the garbage shoot.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Slugworth makes an offer like this to Charlie. Suggesting they become "kings of the candy world" with their two gobstoppers.

* AdaptationExpansion: Combined with CompressedAdaptation. Extra scenes and shots in this version actually add scenes with Slugworth, in addition to featuring Veruca and her father escaping the furnace.

** Fizzy Lifting drinks do this to Tom and Spike for a chase scene. And after the tour in the inventing room, yet before the tour in the room of Fizzy Lifting drinks, Spike alone ends up turning in to a blueberry himself, and his trasformation was a bit more impressive than Violet's.

* PassingTheTorch: Wonka gives entire factory to Charlie, and to Tom and Jerry and Tuffy as well.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Really should have told Tuffy, one of your ''employees'', [[spoiler: that Slugworth is in fact working with you]]. Tuffy's reaction at the end implies this.

If you couldn't guess before, this movie was made solely so that Creator/WarnerBros could [[AshcanCopy hold on to the rights of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory adaptations]], but it ended up [[EpicFail backfiring]] ''[[EpicFail spectacularly]]''. Not only did it end up being a FranchiseKiller to the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryDirectToVideoFilmSeries'', but Warner Bros.' license was revoked by Creator/RoaldDahl's estate and given to Creator/{{Netflix}}.

%% ** Wonka informs the Buckets that he has to sterilize the ''entire'' factory because a cat entered. He doesn't even imply that he has allergies or anything - making it seem rather weird he is so bent out of shape about Tom being in there.

** [[spoiler: The fact that they came forward about Tom and Jerry being in he factory with them could also be this - Wonka could have been more angry at Charlie and Joe for not only stealing the Fizzy Lifting Drinks, but ''also'' about the fact that Joe ''lied'' to him about the cat in the factory]].

[[caption-width-right:279:Ever wondered what would happen if Tom and Jerry joined the cast of Willy Wonka? No? Well...too bad.]]

** Played straight with Willy Wonka, who is brunet instead of dirty blond. This is accurate to the 2005 movie, in which Johnny Depp's Wonka had brown hair.
* AdaptationExpansion: Combined with CompressedAdaptation, extra scenes and shots to this version actually add scenes of Slugworth, as well as Veruca and her father escaping the furnace.

** Slugworth's AdaptationExpansion keeps up his villainy [[spoiler: even though he's an actor who works for Wonka]]. He continues to act evil even when people who didn't win the tickets are around, and continue to act evil towards Tom and Jerry. The film tries to explain this, but this winds up creating several {{Voodoo Shark}}s instead.
** In the original film, Grandpa Joe uses the money Charlie gives him for tobacco to buy a Wonka bar. The question has to how he got it despite being bed ridden is answered here with Joe sending Tom and Jerry to get it. However the scene where Charlie gives Joe the money, [[NoSmoking and all mentions of tobacco]] are cut.

** Slugworth seems to be this, as he plays much more of a role in this movie... [[spoiler: [[CaptainObviousReveal ...except he was still]] [[SubvertedTrope never a villain after all.]]]]

* AmusingInjuries: This is a Tom and Jerry flick. Of course it will have this.

* DerangedAnimation: Disregarding all the OffModel faces, there's still a few legitimate examples:

* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After escaping the furnace with his daughter and Jerry, Mr. Salt has enough of her whining and drags his daughter out by the ear roughly with the implication that he's going to punish her.]]
* DullSurprise: Oh yes. Not just because Wonka is quite blase about the harm the kids are getting into...
