A Mad Tea Party.

I found that there seems to be more differences in the two than there are similarities. To start off with, I think that Johnny Depp portrayed the character of the Mad Hatter Perfectly. He was crazy and random and pretty much all over the place just like in the book. The thing that really bothered my though is that the only time in the movie that the Dormouse is sleeping is right away when Alice first appears. However, in the book the Dormouse is constantly trying to sleep and they need to wake him up. As for the March Hare, I feel as if the movie and the book are very similar with this character. Burton’s movie also added a character to the mix, the Cheshire-Cat. I’m not really sure if I feel like the cat adds to the story of not. As for Alice, she is a very active member of this scene in the book. Yet, in the movie she hardly says anything. They do not tell her stories or participate in singing. I think most importantly though, when Alice leaves they don’t even seem to notice, while in the movie the Mad Hatter is very excited that Alice is there.
