Mike Teavee

The fourth golden ticket winner for Willy Wonka's chocolate factory tour, the violence prone, television loving Mike proved to be a thorn in Willy Wonka's side, making it as a runner-up for the grand prize, ultimately losing to Charlie Bucket. While using a teleportation device that makes things smaller, Mike ended up less than an inch tall and forfeiting.

But when Bastian finds he can travel the Literary Universe willingly and the barriers between books start to break down, Mike becomes a victim of the ensuing insanity and is pulled from his world the night before the factory tour. Surely a small player like Mike missing the tour won't cause any outstanding changes in 'Charlie & The Chocolate Factory', right?
