"Now, lets see what the damage is this year, shall we?"

— Wilbur's most famous quote in the 2005 movie.


Dr. Wilbur Wonka is Willy Wonka's father and a major character in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). He is not a character in the original book and he does not appear in the 1971 version, but he is similar to Slugworth who was in the 1971 version.


Wilbur Wonka[]

  • He wears a white dentist suit and is the city's most popular dentist. He is also an overprotective father, not letting young Willy Wonka eat candies to protect his teeth.
  • Willy Wonka's flashbacks never showed his mother. Presumably Mrs. Wonka died when Willy Wonka was a young child.
