With Violet and Mike, he just stands by and does nothing to stop them from doing horrible things to themselves (technically he does the same with Veruca as well, but her jumping onto the scales and being dropped down the shaft happens too quickly for him to do anything about even if he'd wanted to). Here, the only kid he tries to dissuade is Augustus, and even then only because he's worried about having the chocolate in his river contaminated.
Wonka himself in the book he at least tried to dissuade the kids from doing the things that would lead to disaster for them, even if he didn't concern himself too much after the fact.More pronounced when he talks Charlie into stealing some Fizzy Lifting Drink, which nearly gets them both killed, and then nearly loses Charlie the lifetime's supply of chocolate. Grandpa Joe to a lesser extent he was entirely a Nice Guy in the book, but tends to be a lot more dismissive and insulting towards the other four kids and their parents here - though in fairness, nothing he says about them is especially wrong.Despite losing out on the chocolate he was promised by sneaking Fizzy Lifting Drinks, Charlie doesn't have it in his heart to cheat Wonka and gives back his Gobstopper. This is what sets Charlie apart from her. Veruca Salt, like in the book, was an insufferable brat, but despite having a rich dad, she is willing to give the Everlasting Gobstopper to Slugworth for more money.While not as mean as she is in the 2005 film, here she's shown to be far more arrogant than she is in the book - as well as frequently fighting with Veruca. Violet was very much a Designated Villain in the book.Adaptational Early Appearance: Unlike in canon, Veruca and her parents appear before her Golden Ticket is found.Adaptation Distillation: The most prominent example is the Oompa Loompas' songs, which are essentially 30 second recaps of the roughly five-minute ones in the original book.This and the toned-down costume also counts as Adaptation Dye-Job, and has since become Lost in Imitation - most subsequent adaptations and virtually all of the parody versions have clean-shaven Wonkas. In this film he's of normal height, clean-shaven, red-headed, and in his late thirties to early forties. Wonka in the book is an older man with a black goatee, and illustrators often portray him as hardly taller than the kids. In this film, he's just a bit more chubby than usual. Augustus in the book is disgustingly obese.Wonka laughs when Mike pretends to shoot him dead. During the scene with the computer with which the programmer tries to find the remaining three tickets, he offers to share the grand prize with it, only for it to ask "What would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?" Look carefully and the man's clients actually smirk at that question.
