In the original film, Violet is depicted much like she is in the novel, except she was more into getting attention and keeping the camera on herself. She has a rude personality and does disrespectful things in public like shoving, pushing, and calling others inappropriate names. She would often get angry at people, even her own father, for talking to the camera, and also with Veruca Salt for her whiny demands. This version of the character remains the same in the 2017 animated film with Tom and Jerry, though toned down a bit.
Physical appearance[]
Violet has chubby cheeks and is quite plump compared to her 2005 adaptation. She has brown hair and eyes and wears a blue long-sleeved dress shirt with matching pants, a red belt and brown loafers with golden buckles. She retains this same outfit in the 2017 Tom and Jerry adaptation.
As a blueberry, Violet is more oval-shaped but still rotund. In spite of her new form, she is still is able to walk, or more specifically waddle, as her legs have become noticeably short to the point where they almost no longer exist. In the Tom and Jerry version, her legs are still visible even after her transformation, though she’s shorter now than in the original film.
Background[]
Her father Sam is a prominent politician and civic leader.
Appearances[]
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory[]
Violet is first seen being interviewed on television, having found the third Golden Ticket. When her father tries to advertise his car dealership, Violet rudely and angrily yells at him, wanting the camera to be on her and her only. She begins to tell about how she temporarily gave up gum in order to look for a Golden Ticket, even mentioning that the piece she’s currently chewing she has been chewing on for three months straight. When she even mentions that she sticks the gum behind her ear at mealtimes, she mother begins to reprimand her for it, only for Violet to rudely brush her off by saying “Cool it, mother!” She goes on to add that her 3-month record was held by her best friend, Cornelia Prinzmetel, that she herself beat, even rubbing it in (should Cornelia be watching the interview. She is then approached by Mr. Slugworth, who whispers something in her ear.
On the day of the factory tour, she is seen with the other ticket winners and their families. Her father once again tries to advertise his dealership on camera, only to be angrily brushed off by Violet once more. She even rubs her record in Cornelia’s face further by stretching the gum in her mouth. When Willy Wonka makes his entrance and asks the ticket winners to come up and present their tickets, Violet is third line. She asks Wonka what kind of gum he has in his factory, which simply chuckles, “Charming.” Once inside the factory, she is the first to be asked to sign Wonka’s contract, but she is stopped by her father. He asks Wonka what the contract is about, and he explains that the whole ordeal is simply a protection pro-caution. The children, one by one, sign their names and then the group then proceed with the tour.
After being crammed into a tight hallway and emerging through a large doorway, they find themselves in the Chocolate Room, the “nerve center of the entire factory.” Wonka, while singing his signature number “Pure Imagination,” invites everyone to eat and try all of the delicious candies throughout the room, with Violet helping herself to gummi bears growing from a plant. After the song, she and the others notice Wonka’s helpers, the Oompa-Loompas. Wonka then tells them the story of how they came to be his workers. Veruca immediately begs her father to get her an Oompa-Loompa, much to Violet’s annoyance, even resulting in Violet snapping at her “Can it, you nit!” At that moment, everyone watches in horror as Augustus Gloop falls into the river and is sucked up through a large pipe.

After the Oompa-Loompas’ song, Wonka invites the remaining parties aboard the Wonkatania. As the boat ride begins, Wonka offers Mrs. Teavee some special candy meant to cure seasickness, explaining that she can spit in six different colors. Violet says that “spitting’s a dirty habit,” despite picking her nose at that moment. When they enter a dark tunnel, they find themselves in practically another dimension. Violet unbelievably asks Wonka “What is this?! A freakout?!,” which her father adds that he doesn’t find the whole ordeal funny.
A few moments later, the boat stops in front of the next room, the Inventing Room. Inside, Wonka shows off his latest invention, a mysterious machine hidden under a tarp that produces “everlasting gobstoppers.” Wonka hands out gobstoppers to each of the children, as long as they promise never to show them to anyone. When Veruca sees that Violet has two, she snaps that she wants another one, to Violet responds with “Stop squawking, you twit!” Wonka firmly tells them that everyone has one, and one is enough.

He then shows the tour a large machine and activates it. The end result is a small gum, which naturally delights Violet. Despite Wonka’s objections, Violet takes the gum and begins to chew it. She claims she can taste tomato soup followed by roast beef. When her father asks what the dessert course is, she tells him blueberry pie. At that moment, her face begins to turn a strange blue color. Mr. Beauregarde asks Wonka what’s going on, and he explains that the blueberry pie is always the cause of Violet’s transformation. Her father than notices that his daughter is getting bigger and rounder, so much so that her belt snaps off. Violet claims she feels funny. As Mr. Beauregarde threatens to ruin Wonka for what’s happening to his daughter, Violet screams for help. Wonka calls for the Oompa-Loompas and orders them to take Violet to the Juicing Room. As they start to sing, Violet tries to walk away, but they surround her and begin to lay her down on her back, much to her annoyance. They then roll her out the door, with one leading Mr. Beauregarde by the hand. Mr. Beauregarde still vows revenge, swearing he’ll get Wonka if it’s the last thing he does, then sobs over his daughter being a blueberry. They are not seen again for the rest of the film.
Tom & Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory[]
Violet as she appears in the 2017 Tom & Jerry crossover movie.
Violet’s role in this film closely follows her role in the original film, with very little to no difference. Although, at stated above, her rude, temperamental personality is considerably toned down, and her blueberry form is a bit different than how she appeared in the 1971 film. She is voiced by Dallas Lovato.
Violet's Song[]
noicon
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-da-dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile
But it's repulsive revolting and wrong
Chewing and chewing all day long
The way that a cow does
Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-da
Given good manners, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the oompa loompa do-ba-dee-doo

"CAN IT, YOU NIT!" (sick of Veruca's whining about wanting an Oompa-Loompa)
