The weirdest thing is that this is basically.... Willy Wonka animated remake.. with Tom and Jerry photoshopped in. It's like they tried to do an animated version of WW but were afraid it wouldn't sell, so they decided to randomly shoehorn Tom and Jerry in it. So far, based on the trailer, I'm not really seeing how they contribute to the plot, and it looks like it can happen just fine without them.
At least with the WWE crossovers, the characters are actually involved and move the plot. It's not a straight up animated recreation of Wrestlemania 3 that happens to have Fred and Barney in the audience cheering.

It's not a fair comparison, but literary classics still work just fine as Muppet movies, so maybe a mid-20th century film can still work as a cartoon with other characters shoe-horned in for comic relief? I'd actually enjoy seeing Tom punished relentlessly by each of the Chocolate Factory's "bad kid" sequences.

This was a very interesting idea. I'm not saying it was a good idea, but it was an interesting one, none the less.
It's a pity that the animation looks like something somebody would make at home to put on youtube. As a fan of both the original Willy Wonka and Tom and Jerry cartoons, I'll pass on this. But hopefully it finds its intended market, whoever that's supposed to be. Does anybody else remember when they actually sold Wonka brand candies? Those scrumdiddlyumptious bars were my sh:t!

Well, I mean...they still technically do, as a Nestle subsidiary. It's where Nerds, Sweetarts, and Bottlecaps (my personal favorite) come from. Not really anything true to the Gene Wilder Wonka, though. Though that would be awesome.
And golden moments in a police station should anyone steal a candy called Fizzy Lifting Drinks

They still do. I see them once in a while when I'm on the candy isle. Gobstoppers too.

I remember seeing Everlasting Gobstoppers at the shop and being disappointed that they weren't shaped like the ones from the movie.

Yeah, that was disappointing.
I love the gobstoppers too, though. When I was little, I was in a play, and during practice breaks, I would get them from the vending machine. All. The. Time. (It was an all-children's group. I played a dragon, which was the last part available and I had been out of town when the roles were cast. But I wanted to be a friendly dragon even though she worked for the Evil Wizard. And she was pink. And named Suzie. Because I liked that name too.) There was also a demonstration where we talked about how they were made - I don't really know why, and we soaked them so we could see each of the color layers dissolve.

I played a dragon in primary school too, but I was green, and my tail was made of stockings and egg cartons. I wanted to look like the dragon from the Paper Bag Princess, which was one of my favourite books at the time.

Cool stuff is in the spoiler if anyone wants to read it, since it doesn't relate to the thread topic.
Spoiler:
As for the thread topic, I was so-so into the Scrumdiddlyumptious Chocolate Bar, but I did enjoy Bottle Caps more than Gobstoppers as a kid. I found out that I like the Nerds rope candy some years back. I am slowly backing off of candy, but I still have my vices. Whoppers and any Reese's candies still remain my favorites.

That animation is so outdated, dull and uninspiring. Yuck.

Ohhh man, I just about cried laughing at this interpretation of the tunnel scene . What was even happening?! Tuffy said "Hell"? The way he built into the scream? The robot and the toy dog?
Fantastic.
