Coming 20207 to Netflix: Here’s Your First Taste of „Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory“
Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory is being whipped up for a 2027 release — and this time the animated feature will serve up a delicious twist on everything you thought you knew about the world of Wonka.
In this bold adventure set in modern-day London, Emmy-winner Kit Connor (Warfare, Rocketman, Heartstopper) voices Charlie Paley, a brand-new character stepping into the spotlight, while Oscar-winner Taika Waititi (Klara and the Sun, Jojo Rabbit, Thor: Love and Thunder) lends his voice to the legendary confectioner himself.
Connor says, “I’m so excited to enter the wonderful world of Wonka. I was immediately caught by the early concept art and the directors’ vision for the film — capturing the spirit and heart that made the original story so special, whilst imbuing it with something so fresh and unique. It’s such a fun representation of the London that I know. This new adventure is going to surprise audiences around the world. You’re in for a treat!”
Willy Wonka (Waititi) has spent the years since the Golden Ticket contest behind bars (not the chocolate kind) for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. Having served his time, Wonka returns to his factory determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world. But one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley (Connor) and his friends. Facing eviction, this next generation of “rotten” kids plot to break into the factory, nab a priceless Wonka Bar, and save their homes. But like many before them who enter the fantastical world of the factory, these kids are in for a bit more than they can chew…
Directed by Jared Stern (The LEGO Batman Movie, Green Eggs and Ham) and Elaine Bogan (Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, Spirit Untamed), the film promises an imaginative new take on the beloved universe, powered by the animation artistry of Sony Pictures Imageworks, the studio behind Oscar-winners Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and KPop Demon Hunters.” Academy-Award winner Aron Warner (Shrek) and Timothy Yoo (Back to the Outback, Green Eggs and Ham) are producing, and Waititi is an executive producer.
“Our directors, Jared and Elaine, have a bold vision befitting this new adventure whilst remaining sympathetic to the legacy, and I’m thrilled to play my part in bringing Willy Wonka to life in animated form,” Waititi says. “He is so special to me, and the opportunity to voice such an iconic, eccentric candy genius — if a little mischievous at times — is hugely exciting.”
Expect original songs, new characters, and even a few familiar faces, all wrapped in the signature British charm of Roald Dahl’s iconic world. “Having been raised on the delightfully twisted world of Willy Wonka, it’s a privilege to bring his continued adventures to life as twisted adults,” Stern and Bogan say. “And how sweet to do it like never before via the magic of animation, creating a Charlie vs. The Chocolate Factory that’s more deliciously unhinged than your wildest imagination. If we do a rotten job, you can throw us down a rubbish chute!“
Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory marks the latest expansion of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory universe, following Netflix’s acquisition of the Roald Dahl Story Company in 2021. The reality competition The Golden Ticket will air later in 2026.
“With their singular comedic and visual flair, Jared and Elaine have concocted a delightful adventure that remains true to the spirit of Dahl’s beloved novel while imagining a brand new story that introduces this world to a new generation,” says Hannah Minghella, Head of Feature Animation and Family Film at Netflix Animation Studios. “We can’t wait for audiences around the world to experience the magic and mayhem for themselves when the film comes out next year.”
Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory will stream in 2027, only on Netflix.

The difference between the Europeans and the rest of the world: A whirling knife in the hands of a child.

Is this a sensitive cut or does this change the expectations of the potential audience by omitting the moment that defines the characters?
I could not help noticing, that there is a significant difference between the US trailer and the european trailer, or better let´s say between the european trailer and the trailer released in the rest of the world.
The european trailer has been censored, cut, shortened right in the beginning when Jo is taking out her knife and flips it open, holding it in front of Raissa´s face.
This is taken out of the trailer in the european version, while it remained in all the other trailers I found all over the net.
Why is that and does that mean the cut will also be in the final movie here in Europe?
Normally I would not mind, because there are perhaps good arguments not to show a kid whirling a knife. But here, in this case and in my humble opinion the cut damages the trailer because this is essential to the tone of the film and especially to the character design of both protagonists. Jo is wild and Raissa is fearless, together they will be a great team.
So in taking this out, the Europeans will have greater difficulties to understand and to connect to those two characters.
And while some may say, the knife scene is too threatening, I would argue that in the following montage, where both kids create their memories together, there is more wild, dangerous stuff happening then showing off with a knife. Especially when the teens are driving a bus being chased by the police….
So, I like the US trailer more then the european one. What do you think?

The european trailer – sensitively cut – without a whirling knife:

Annecy reveals its 2026 poster!
The Annecy Festival 2026 is set to feature a rich variety of themes, techniques and cultures. The return of established artists and the discovery of emerging talent are sure to delight future festivalgoers.
Today the programme reveals the Annecy 2026 official poster, a part of the selected films and the two brand-new competition categories.
“While searching for an image that captures the spirit of the Annecy Festival, I combined my love of eccentric animals engaging in human-like behaviour with a gathering of native birds from the Haute-Savoie region – a spiral pilgrimage that reflects the diversity of people bound by a common love for cinema and animation film.”

Dreamworks Animation: FORGOTTEN ISLAND | Official Trailer + German Trailer | Coming to Cinemas September 2026
Forgotten Island – In Theaters September 25 Your best friendship is worth fighting for. DreamWorks Animation, the studio that brought you unforgettable bonds between a boy and a dragon in How to Train Your Dragon, an ogre and a donkey in Shrek, and a robot and a gosling in The Wild Robot, now welcomes a dazzling and emotional story about two lifelong best friends who must come together before they drift apart in Forgotten Island.
The new original film is written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado and is produced by Academy Award® nominee Mark Swift, the filmmaking team behind Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Grammy and Academy Award® winning supernova H.E.R. and Liza Soberano (Lisa Frankenstein, Alone/Together) star as high school graduates Jo and Raissa, who have been best friends since grade school but are now about to embark on separate life paths.
While celebrating their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali, packed with magical and mythological creatures they grew up hearing stories about from their Filipino families. Some of these figures will become friends, some foes. Joined by well-meaning-but- hapless weredog Raww (Dave Franco) and a small-but-mighty pack of pals, Jo and Raissa must face The Dreaded Manananggal (Tony winning icon Lea Salonga), the most feared creature on the island. When they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home, Jo and Raissa will race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever.
The film’s all-star voice cast also includes Emmy nominee Jenny Slate (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Dying for Sex), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Top Gun: Maverick), BAFTA nominee Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness, Ghostlight), global comedy superstar Jo Koy (Haunted Mansion, Jo Koy: Live from Brooklyn) and Emmy winner Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show, M3GAN).
DreamWorks Animation’s Forgotten Island is distributed by Universal Pictures.
Deutscher Trailer:
Drehbuch & Regie: Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado Produktion: Mark Swift
Original-Stimmen: H.E.R., Liza Soberano, Dave Franco, Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, Ronny Chieng, Lea Salonga
Als die zwei besten Freundinnen Jo und Raissa auf der geheimnisvollen Insel Nakali stranden, begreifen sie, dass der Weg nach Hause ein ganzes Leben an Erinnerungen fordert – vielleicht auch an den Menschen, der ihnen am meisten bedeutet. Die Grammy- und Oscar® prämierte Ausnahmekünstlerin H.E.R. und Liza Soberano (Lisa Frankenstein, Allein mit dir) glänzen in den Hauptrollen als Jo und Raissa. Die beiden Highschool-Absolventinnen sind unzertrennliche Freundinnen seit Kindertagen. Doch nun stehen sie am Beginn völlig unterschiedlicher Lebenswege. In ihrer letzten gemeinsamen Nacht entdecken Jo und Raissa ein geheimnisvolles Portal, das sie auf die geheimnisvolle Insel Nakali verschlägt. An diesem fantastischen Ort leben magische und mythische Wesen, von denen sie schon als Kinder in den Geschichten ihrer philippinischen Familien gehört haben. Einige der Wesen begegnen ihnen als Verbündete, andere als gefährliche Gegner.
Gemeinsam mit dem gutmütigen, aber hoffnungslos tollpatschigen Werhund Raww (im Original Dave Franco) und einer kleinen, doch entschlossenen Gruppe neuer Gefährten müssen sich Jo und Raissa der gefürchteten Manananggal stellen, die im Original von der Tony-Award-prämierten Ikone Lea Salonga gesprochen wird. Als sie erkennen, dass als Preis für ihre Rückkehr die Erinnerungen an ihre gesamte Freundschaft gefordert werden, beginnt für Jo und Raissa ein verzweifelter Wettlauf: Sie müssen die Insel verlassen, bevor sie einander für immer vergessen.
DreamWorks Animation schenkte uns bereits unvergessliche Freundschaften zwischen einem Jungen und seinem Drachen in Drachenzähmen leicht gemacht, zwischen einem Oger und einem Esel in Shrek sowie einem Roboter und einem Gänseküken in Der wilde Roboter. Mit DREAMWORKS DIE VERGESSENE INSEL erzählt das Studio nun eine neue Geschichte über zwei Freundinnen, die alles riskieren, um sich nicht für immer zu verlieren.
Das berührende Abenteuer wurde von den Oscar®-nominierten Filmemachern Joel Crawford und Januel Mercado geschrieben und inszeniert. Produzent Mark Swift, ebenfalls Oscar®-nominiert, komplettiert das kreative Trio, das bereits den gefeierten Animations-Hit Der gestiefelte Kater: Der letzte Wunsch geschaffen hat.
Zum hochkarätigen Sprecherensemble von DREAMWORKS DIE VERGESSENE INSEL gehören außerdem die Emmy nominierte Jenny Slate (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Dying for Sex), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Top Gun: Maverick), die BAFTA nominierte Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness, Ghostlight), Comedy Superstar Jo Koy (Haunted Mansion, Jo Koy: Live from Brooklyn) sowie der Emmy Preisträger Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show, M3GAN).
