Plot[]
The Motimoshis are an impoverished family consisting of a kind and loving girl named Mecco, her parents and four bedridden grandparents. Mecco's father is employed at a toothpaste factory, responsible for putting the caps on the tubes. The family lives not far from Bunbun's giant chocolate factory, which reopened after industrial espionage forced him into seclusion and to sack her employees. Mecco's Grandpa Kakoni worked for Bunbun before the termination.
Bunbun announces a contest whereby children that find five Golden Tickets hidden in Bunbun bars will be given a tour of the factory with a lifetime supply of chocolate and one a chance to be presented with an unknown grand prize. The skyrocket in Wonka's chocolate sales led to an increase in cavities which also increased toothpaste sales, causing Mr. Motimoshi to be laid off when the toothpaste factory replaces him with a machine that places the caps on the tubes.
Four tickets are quickly found: the greedy and gluttonous Abby Luna from Germany, who found the ticket while eating a bar; the spoiled and rotten Avery Blaze from England, who made her father buy as many Wonka bars as possible; the gum chewing and boastful Cho Itsumi from Atlanta, Georgia, who gave up gum and started buying bars after hearing of the tickets; and the arrogant and aggressive Dani Ushiko from Denver, Colorado, who retracked the manufacturing dates and hacked the system.
Mecco hopes to find a ticket but chances are small as money is tight so the best has to be made of is her annual birthday present of one Bunbun bar and a bar bought by Grandpa Kakoni's money, both of which yield no tickets. All hope is crushed when the last ticket is claimed in Russia. Mecco, on finding some money in the street, just intends to enjoy one chocolate bar when news breaks that the last ticket was fake. To Mecco's surprise, the bar she purchased has the real last Golden Ticket. Bystanders attempt to separate her from it, offering him a lot of money, only for the shopkeeper to see that she keeps the ticket and gets back home with it.
When Grandpa Kakoni sees the ticket, he jumps out of bed and dances with joy. He offers to accompany Mecco on the tour, but Mecco explains how she was offered money for the ticket, and intends to sell it. Grandpa Satsun reminds Mecco that money is far more common than the tickets, and convinces Mecco to keep it. The visitors find Bunbun to be peculiar, lonely and acting odd at the mention of "parents". The tour shows how fantastical the factory operates under the efforts of the short humans called Mini-Nyako-Clones.
As Mecco seems to enjoy the tour, the other four children succumb to temptation, and end up being caught in the factory workings and have to be safely recovered by the Mini-Nyako-Clones, albeit in worse shape than at the start of the tour: Abby falls into a river of chocolate and has been sucked up by a pipe before being rescued from the fudge processing center; Cho expands into an oversized blueberry when she tries an experimental piece of chewing gum despite Wonka's warnings; Avery is thrown away as a "bad nut" by trained squirrels; and Dani is shrunk down after being the first person transported by Bunbun's new television advertising invention. The four leave the factory revealing their deformities; a chocolate-covered Abby, a much more flexible but still blue Cho, a garbage-covered Avery and her father, and a taller and paper-thin Dani who was overstretched with the "taffy puller".
During the tour, flashbacks reveal Bunbun's troubled childhood; her strict father, Carrot, a prominent dentist, forbade Bunbun from candy consumption of any type or quantity and fitted him torture device-like braces affixed to his teeth. But once Bunbun managed to sneak a taste, he became hooked to his wish to become a confectioner against his father's wishes, eventually left home to follow and live her dream. She then returned several days later to find his father and home completely gone.
Mecci is congratulated as the only remaining child and Bunbun takes her and Grandpa Kakoni home via the Great Glass Elevator. As soon as they arrive, Wonka is introduced to the Motimoshis and reveals the grand prize: Mecco is Bunbun's heir to the factory and his company. After Bunbun reveals on how she created the "Golden Ticket Contest" and that the least rotten child would be the winner, he stipulates that Charlie's family has to stay behind, seeing them as hindrance to progress. To Bunbun's dismay, Mecco rejects the offer. Bunbun then sadly flies back to the factory in her great glass elevator, leaving a hole in the roof. After Mecco and her father repair the house, the latter is later given a new job at the toothpaste factory as a technician.
Some days later, Bunbun's candies are selling poorly and ahe comes to associate her unhappiness with the financial state of his company, so he makes an effort to find Mecco, whom he stumbles upon when the latter is doing a shoe-shining job. After Mecco discovers Bunbun's troubled past, she helps Wonka locate Carrot. During the visit to Bunbun's old household, Mecco discovers Carrot's display of news articles and other things showing Wonka's achievements and successes as a confectionery businessman, which reveals that the dentist followed his daughter's success despite his strict prohibition of candy, eventually witnessing the reconciliation between father and daughter.
Wonka then allows Mecco's family to move into the factory while he and Mecco plan new product lines to produce. He joins the Buckets in a Thanksgiving dinner at their home, which has been relocated into the Chocolate Room.
