Ready for a sweet treat? Here’s your first look at Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory, a new animated film from Netflix with animation by Sony Pictures Imageworks, starring Kit Connor and Taika Waititi.
Set in the years after the Golden Ticket contest, Willy Wonka (Taika) returns to the factory after spending years behind bars. He wants to add a little sweetness to a bitter world, but one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley (Kit) and his “rotten” friends.

Voici notre participation à la 11ᵉ Semaine annuelle des industries créatives, et nous sommes ravis de faire partie d’une industrie aussi dynamique et énergique ✨
Au cœur de tout cela se trouve un espace où la narration, la technologie et l’art se rencontrent pour stimuler l’imagination et façonner la culture.
Fiers d’être ici avec Sonia Bhatia (directrice de la diversité, de l’inclusion et de l’engagement), Mairin Platt (gestionnaire du service de production de longs métrages d’animation) et Dan Pozo (chef de l’animation des personnages), représentant une communauté où la créativité s’épanouit et où des voix diverses donnent vie à des histoires 💫
✨This presentation of Supervising Animator Adam Sarophim explores how Sony Pictures Imageworks @imageworksvfx brings animated characters to life through performance-driven animation. Focusing on „KPop Demon Hunters“ and „GOAT“, it highlights how animators craft emotion, personality, and audience connection through movement, timing, and subtle detail.
Adam previously served as supervisor on the Academy Award®️-winning „Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse“ and was a lead animator on „The Mitchells vs. the Machines“, contributing to the film’s distinctive visual style and character performances.
