Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

An original prop used in the production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the 2005 film adaptation of the famous Roald Dahl book starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka under the direction of Tim Burton.

Toothpaste boxes such as this can be seen on screen at the beginning of the film as we see Mr Bucket (Noah Taylor) working in the factory. Branded Smilex in an obvious nod to the 1989 Warner Bros and Tim Burton collaboration Batman this toothpaste box was custom made for production and features the brand logo with various product information. In small print to the rear of the box is a Warner Bros copyright and a further line crediting the design of the graphics to art director Francois Audouy.

The empty toothpaste box measures approximately 6" long and remains in excellent production used condition with some minor edge wear, overall very fine.

An affordable and displayable artefact from this well received adaptation.
