I think it was there to demonstrate that Wonka and his factory had a dark side which may not have been immediately clear

the boat tunnel scene always terrified me

It was a test. The children had all had contact with Slugworth, and Wonka was trying to rile them up. Anyone who went through that and wasn't really in it for the prizes, prizes pruh-zizes might run screaming from the building or otherwise crack. Additionally, it was to put the parents off their game, if they were in on it.

Basically, through the movie all the kids get taken out one by one via their own character-flaws, but this was the first think and it hit them all at once.

Asking why this scene in the movie is like asking why the fat kid got sucked into a pipe or the spoiled girl was incinerated.

>whichhhhh direction we are going
>alllll the holes are full of diggerssss
>the only ones who steal are nigggerrrrsss

It's a good classic, but this line was a tad forced even for the 70s.

Never thought of it as a test. Makes sense.

Was Veruca Salt Jewish? Is that why she was incinerated?

>slugworth
He worked for Wonka, he wasn't a real enemy
>run off screaming
Run where? They're literally on a fucking boat in a chocolate river that cannot be tainted by human flesh.
