She also had a prominent role on The Crown for two seasons and appeared in other shows such as Henry VIII, Love, Nina, and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, which was unfortunately canceled.Ĭoming up, she'll be in a new movie called The Offing and two other films called Four Letters of Love and the drama One Life. Besides that, she also appeared as Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films, was the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella, was in Les Miserables, and had a role in the Enola Holmes movies. She was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in The King's Speech in 2011. Like her co-stars, Carter appeared in several Tim Burton movies after her role in the film, including Dark Shadows, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the Alice in Wonderland movies, and The Lone Ranger.Ĭarter appeared in many other excellent films, too. Bucket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Next up on this list has to be Helena Bonham Carter, who played Mrs. In the reboot, Willy Wonka explained to the visitors how the Oompa-Loompas were hired to work in the factory.(Image credit: Warner Bros.) Helena Bonham Carter (Mrs. Some of the female Oompa-Loompas, like Doris, work in the administration offices. They wear their tribal clothing during their time in Loompaland, and typical factory worker uniforms in Wonka's factory. In the 2005 film, the Oompa-Loompas are all played by Deep Roy and are virtually identical. Deep Roy took Pilates and dance classes to prepare for the role. Actor Deep Roy played all 165 Oompa Loompas.This is likely because of their gratefulness for Wonka and his decision to bring all of them to the safety of his factory, as they see him as their leader. They also like to tease and have fun with the tourists, an example being their lack of seriousness when rolling Violet Beauregarde.ĭespite this cheery facade, they run everything in the factory seriously and are loyal to Wonka and the factory, even going as far as to sacrifice themselves to protect its success, which is shown when twenty of them became blueberries when testing out Wonka's gum, and when some of them tried to stop Mike Teavee from accessing the teleporter. They are seen wearing different uniforms in each room, such as a red uniform in The Chocolate Room and a black uniform in The Inventing Room.Īll Oompa-Loompas seem cheerful and happy all the time, which is prominently shown in The Chocolate Room and when they sing songs for the four children. Female Oompa-Loompas look the same (as shown by the brief stop by the administrative office in the Great Glass Elevator). They have brown-colored skin, black hair, and masculine faces. Oompa-Loompas are short beings that look identical to each other. The leader of the Oompa-Loompas agreed to his offer, and the Oompa-Loompas have been living there since. He then offered to bring them to his factory, where they can live and become his workers in exchange for an endless supply of cocoa-related products. Wonka discovered the Oompa-Loompas while searching for new ingredients for his candy, and lived with them for a few days, learning their culture and desire for cocoa beans. Because of its scarcity, the Oompa-Loompas worshiped the cocoa bean as a god, even holding rituals and festivals to honor it. However, the one that taste the best was the cocoa beans, however cocoa beans were so rare that finding three to four each year was lucky for them. This movie’s take on Oompa Loompas was not only lacking the nostalgic throwback I expected, but also was completely forgettable and looked like they just faked all of his 165 takes because they were so similar. The Oompa-Loompas diet consists solely of green caterpillars, which tastes revolting as such, they tried to add other ingredients to make the taste better, such as red beetles and the bark of the bong-bong tree. As such, they live high above the ground in treehouses, allowing them to be safe from the dangerous predators below. Oompa-Loompas formerly lived in Loompaland, a place filled with trees and strange creatures such as Wangdoodles that frequently attack the Oompa-Loompas.
