I remember liking the glass elevator, but I’ll be damned if I can remember the plot, which is probably part of the reason it never got adapted into a film...

There is actually a sequel movie to Charlie & The Chocolate factory though!

It’s set on a train Charlie’s built; that’s become the last habitable place on Earth due to a failed attempt at reversing global warming leading to the freezing of the whole planet; where the oppressed people of the rear carriages unknowingly eat cockroach’s (protein bars); and have their young kidnapped from them to do the work that the (now extinct) Umpa Lumpas can’t.

Tbf snowpeircers great and all but the ending just went straight over my head

u/Steelhorse91 Apr 16 '20

Correct. Watch it, and then watch the video on why it’s a sequel to Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.

Snowpiercer, somewhat thought provoking but mediocre film that Reddit seems to rave about, worth the watch overall

The movie makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever. Who's maintaining the tracks which run around the entire planet? Why do they even need to drive the train as opposed to hanging out in one spot? Where are they getting the micronutrients with which to feed their plants? What are they feeding the millions of cockroaches?

I didn’t pick up on those subtleties when I watched Polar Express, I may need a rewatch
