|Showing the importance of having character. Charlie is able to accept the consequences of his actions. He acknowledges his wrongdoing while in the factory, and relinquishes a potential goldmine, from the sale of his everlasting gobstopper to a rival spy, back to Wonka. The kids also compete in a conservative elimination format (by ensuring that the most meritorious players survive to play the final round). The film also promotes capitalism, with Willy Wonka being such a successful business leader in the world of candy. In addition this film is surely to annoy liberals, who want to ban chocolate candy and sweets.<ref>http://www.toberight.com/2012/02/liberals-banning-sweets-on-valentines-day/</ref>

|Showing the importance of having character. Willy Wonka gives each of the kids on tour an Everlasting Gobstopper, which is a potential goldmine, given that a rival spy had earlier offered each of the kids money in exchange for handing over this new invention. Also, every single kid, except Charlie, misbehaves in such a way that injures or deforms them in some way.

The hidden message in this film is one of redemption. It is hidden because it is conveyed through the imagery of the film's final scene. Charlie has made it to the end of his journey. Despite his moral struggles, he finds redemption through his desire to correct his mistake. He is given a reward that is beyond his wildest expectations - he is given the keys to the factory while the Wonkavator crashes through the ceiling up into the sky. The allusion to Heaven and salvation is unmistakable.

The hidden message in this film is one of redemption. It is hidden because it is conveyed through the imagery of the film's final scene. Charlie has made it to the end of his journey. Despite having the urge, and a clean opportunity, to sell Wonka out to his rival, Charlie ends up giving the Everlasting Gobstopper back to Wonka. For this act of integrity, he is rewarded beyond his wildest expectations—he is given ownership of the factory. Incidentally, while he is riding in the Wonkavator, it crashes through the ceiling up into the sky. The allusion to Heaven and salvation is unmistakable.
