Wonka is NOT insane, in fact he is completely sane. He sees the world for exactly what it is and it makes him angry. He is an angry, cynical man who is sick of the world and of people... and he masks it with a smile and passive-aggressive humour. Which is why the first film manages to actually be darker than the remake, without the visual style being dark at all.
