Notes
Trivia: The quote, "We are the music-makers..." is from Arthur O'Shaughnessy's "Ode", which also gave us the phrase "movers and shakers". The quotes "Where is fancy bred..." and "So shines a good deed..." are from William Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice". (more)

Goofs: Factual errors: The liquid issuing from the beehive on the machine that makes the chewing-gum meal is obviously not honey, as honey is more viscous. (more)

Quotes:
[first lines]
Bill, candy store owner: All right, all right, all right, what's it going to be? A Triple Cream Cup for Christopher. A Sizzler for June Marie. And listen! Wonka's got a new one today.
Children: What is it?
Bill, candy store owner: This is called a Scrumpdiddleumptious Bar.
