Wonka: parents' guide

Mostly slapstick: Wonka is hit with a frying pan and a baton and has his head held in a fountain. Rivals blow up a boat, try to drown him and hold him at gunpoint as a shot hits the ceiling. A mob burns a shop.

One 'damn,' a 'jeez,' a misuse of God's name and 'What the devil.' Insults include 'brat,' 'peasant' and 'stupid old hag,' and a running joke mocks the police chief's weight.

Two brief kisses between supporting characters, some flirting, a dance with a slap on the rear, and a villain wiggling his behind in short lederhosen. A couple is seen together in silky pajamas. No nudity.

A magic chocolate makes a man act drunk until he passes out, and the police chief's craving for chocolate is played as a running addiction joke. Adults drink gin, and an Oompa Loompa mixes himself a cocktail.

Near-drownings after a boat explosion and in a flooding chocolate vault, plus the gunpoint scene, are briefly tense. Wonka's longing for his late mother, seen in flashbacks, is touching. Noodle being locked in a filthy coop may upset sensitive kids.
