WATCHThe Cast of ‘Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory’ Reunites 44 Years After the Movie Premiered!

We've got the golden ticket — a Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory cast reunion!

Back in 1971, a group of very lucky children landed big-time roles in Willy Wonka — and after more than four decades apart, the iconic stars have finally gotten back together!

During their Today reunion , the cast — including Peter Ostrum (Charlie Bucket), Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt), Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregarde), Paris Themmen (Mike Teevee), Michael Bollner (Augustus Gloop) and Rusty Goffe (an Oompa Loompa) — reflected on the flick's filming and shared fun, behind-the-scenes anecdotes. The best part? The group admitted they'd star in another Willy Wonka movie if they could!
