Thats what I think.

 

I must say when I was a kid and saw the original version, it did kinda freak me out. You never know if the kids die from the crazy stuff that happens to them, or what. Even though there was some weird stuff goin on in the factory, the fact that it has 1971 production values doesn't make the setting seem quite so surreal as it needs to be. So when something happens to one of the kids you think it really is happening to them. Plus after it happens, Gene Wilder is just creepy and lets you think the kid is gonna die or something.

The new version, I think, is more kid-friendly. The visuals and everything else are far more surreal which lets kids know this isn't supposed to be taken seriously. The kids are made to seem far more mean and rotten, and Charlie is made to seem better and nicer than the original movie (no scene where he and grandpa drink the soda that makes them float when they're not supposed to). Plus as soon as something bad happens to one of the kids, Johnny Depp's version of Willy Wonka makes the audience think the kid will be mostly fine. By the end, nobody dies, and since the whole enterprise is far more cartoonish it doesn't seem like anyone came to any real harm.

Tim Burton's plenty good at making movies that are totally inappropriate for kids (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, etc...) but I'd say this one is pretty good for all but the youngest ones.
