Okay, next questions:

1. In the 70's version, Veruca Salt meets her end in a room full of geese. In the Burton version, it's in a room full of squirrels. Which of the two was the one from the book, if either?

(Personally, I loved the squirrels. A completely brialliant set piece, with the differences between the live squirrels, the animatronic squirrels, and the CG squirrels being completely undetectable to me.)

2. In the 70's version, the primary theme of the story is the morality play about being honest and not selling out, with the kids all spying for Slugworth. The Burton film does away with that theme, and instead goes for the theme of "Your family is the most important thing." Which, if either, of those themes is the one from the book?
