Sex & Nudity

None
141 of 197 found this to have none
A human like mannequin in a store is wearing a dress made out of chocolate bars and after all the chocolate is purchased she is seen wearing lingerie.
There's a chocolate Indian statue nude clearly showing breasts and nipples
Wonka says a brief innuendo ("don't touch that squirrel's nuts!").
Violet's mom wears a track outfit that shows a good amount of cleavage to the viewers.

Violence & Gore

Mild
92 of 153 found this mild
Some martial arts action, involving a preteen girl knocking out two judo instructors whilst chewing gum.
A comment is made about cannibalism.
The Oompa Loompas mention Augustus Gloop being grinded down and boiled. None of this happens.
When Violet chews some of Wonka's gum, her face starts turning blue and she begins swelling up to an enormous size until she is a gigantic blueberry with her hands, feet and head sticking out.
The cross section of a large fantasy insect is shown, but it is nothing more than poorly rendered pinkish red texture.
A large pack of squirrels surround a girl and attack her. They drag her towards a garbage chute. She shouts out for her father and can barely move; she then also scratches the floor. The squirrels throw her down the chute and later do the same thing to her dad.

Profanity

Mild
91 of 155 found this mild
Grandpa George begins to go on an angry rant about Mike Teavee and Mr. Bucket covers Charlie's ears and it is shown from Charlie's point of view we only hear muffled shouts and it is implied what he is saying is profane.
Mike says "retard." (Some TV broadcast versions has the word removed)
Insults and euphemisms are mainly heard; "poppycock" is used as a word for nonsense; "nuts" is used for the food and possibly a mildly vulgar slang term for testicles.
Grandpa George says "Like hell" at one point. Some TV broadcast versions have the word removed.
In the deleted scene of the chocolate room, Mike calls the Oompa Loompas "little freaks".
Separate one-time uses of "hell," and the "r-word" respectively. Some TV broadcasts have both words removed.
Profanity: H*ll (1). No vain references of Deity. In a scene, someone voices a long string of profanity, but their words are muffled.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

None
117 of 144 found this to have none
As an in-joke, Mr. Wonka suggests that the kids to "try some of his grass" (which may be slang term for marijuana). We then see that he is referring to a field of edible candy grass, the plant, not the drug.
In one scene, Veruca's mother is seen sipping on her martini whilst her daughter is having a tantrum.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
71 of 196 found this moderate
A group of mechanical dolls are set on fire and begin melting as they sing. Thier skin drips off and one is seen with its eyeballs falling out More grotesque than scary or violent.
A cow is seen having its udders whipped. This is dismissed as a joke about making whipped cream.
This is a movie directed by Tim Burton, so it has dark and scary moments that are not suitable for young children.
This movie teaches educational lessons to children. However, the target audience of the movie is not young children but tweens ok.
The movie is about a quirky chocalateer/chief executive allowing 5 children to enter his factory to see who would be a good candidate for staying at his factory.
The kids except Charlie pretty much have the sins of gluttony, greed, vanity, and disdain.
When the factory is supposedly closed forever, Mr. Bucket/Charlie's dad loses employment at a job in the wonka chocolate industry, and is stuck living in a run down house for another job which looks a little claustrophobic.
Most of the kids like in the older movie suffer from wrong things happening as punishment for not controlling themselves or neglecting rules and in the end some of the kids look real uncanny.
