When he was being interviewed, he wore a grey bleeding skull shirt under a long-sleeved black shirt, dark gray lounge pants, and black Converse sneakers. Unlike the other four children, his eyes are turquoise or green. This shows his selfish and stubborn side.īefore the stretching, Mike was normally wiry with short brown hair and fair skin with rosy cheeks. Mike is also depicted as correcting people, presumably to show off. He specifically explains that he only needed to buy one candy bar. He managed to break the code and system in order to work out where the golden ticket was.

The only feelings he shows are anger, aggressiveness and hatred. He was forced to grow up quickly, and that resulted in him seeming cold and unemotional. His parents did not seem to raise him properly so he was without any childhood. Mike’s behavior are implied to be the result of bad parenting. Mike is also angry, repeatedly screaming, violently pushing and yelling in the movie. He initially didn’t believe in Willy Wonka's 'Television Chocolate' invention. Mike acts like he was smarter than everybody. However, the Oompa Loompas overstretch Mike and he leaves the factory 10 feet tall and completely thin. Willy Wonka suggests Mike be put in the taffy puller to get him back to normal size.

He suggests being put through in reverse, only to be told that the process is a one-way trip. The end result is Mike being shrunken so small, his voice sounds like a mouse. After a demonstration proves that the invention is indeed a success, Mike begins to stare at the machine's potential possibility as a teleporter capable of transporting entire people to different locations and rushes to test his hypothesis first-hand against Willy Wonka's wishes. Mike scoffs at such a claim, branding it as absurd and proceeding to tell Willy Wonka that he understands nothing of science.

Willy Wonka explains that he will utilize the machine to send chocolate to the public via their television sets, a phenomenon that Willy Wonka refers to as 'Television Chocolate'. Willy Wonka tells the guests about his new invention, which shrinks down items and broadcasts them. In shock from watching the exploding candy parade, Mike said that he wants to pick a button, and Willy Wonka, in a state of daze, allows him to do so. He is from the city of Denver, Colorado and his time outside of school is spent on watching television and playing violent video games. Mike is one of the five winners the golden tickets.
