That's how it is in the book, I heard. Augustas leaves much thinner from being in the pipe, Violet leaves back to normal body size but is still blue(though I think they said the color will go away in 6 to 12 months), Verruca leaves with her father being more firm that she can't always get what she wants and Mike leaves but not shrunk but now tall and skinny.

This song was obviously for Charlie, who never lied, never complained, was never rude in any way, and was kind to everyone he met and saw

What happened afterward:

From the remake adaptation, the kids and parents came out of the factory. They have lessons learned of their parenting. Some are embarrassed like Mrs. Baureguarde and Mr. Teevee, some are horrified like Mrs. Gloop, and someone is done with Veruca's shenanigans is Mr. Salt. Parenting lesson learned.

I love the way the parents stare at their kids! Especially since Mrs. Teavee has to look up at her son while the other parents look down at their kids.

Here’s my perspective (if anyone else has a different outlook, I don’t mind listening)

These character designs remind me of the ones from Tom and Jerry in Willy Wonka. Very nicely done!

In the Wonkaverse, Mike eventually gets drafted into the NBA and goes on to enjoy a stellar career as one of the premier Centers in the league, winning two Championship rings with the Boston Celtics. Upon induction into the HoF, he thanked Wonka for making it all possible.

Only thing missing is Mr. Wonka looking out 1 of the top windows laughing. Another thing, the book says that the 4 losing children were accompanied by both their parents while the 2 movies portrayed either a mum or dad accompanying them.

I like how nice this animation is, I also like how they look so close to the book at the end

Epilogue

0:00 Augustus Gloop

Mr. Beauregarde to his daughter; Well good, because your safety is all the special prize each of us will ever get from here on out.

This is the way the book ends, explicitly saying that the other kids are okay and left the factory with some very pissed off parents. I think the urban legend that the kids all died came from the more cynical undertones of the original movie, and that Wilder just did that well in portraying Wonka as being off his rocker.

I just found this and I love this especially the parents looking down (or in Mike Teevee's case, up) at their kids with the thoughts of "You had to do something stupid...didn't you?"
