Burton vs. Carroll
The views of these two different men are shown in the way the described and displayed the characters of the Hatter, the Door Mouse, the March Hare, and the Cheshire Cat. I feel that the Hatter Tim Burton portrayed is vastly different than Carroll's Hatter. The movie Hatter immediately recognizes Alice and is nothing but kind to her where Carroll's version is cold and harsh to Alice. The exact opposite can be sad for Door Mouse. Burton's mouse was cruel and spiteful upfront while Carroll's was lazy and careless. The March Hare is very similar in both Carroll's book and Burton's movie. The Hare is completely crazy and paranoid. The Cheshire Cat, my personal favorite, is portrayed similarly in both but I really like Burton's version. Burton's Cheshire is so cool, collected, and smooth. Where Carroll's seems a bit jumpy and skidish to me. Overall I would have to say I like Burton's influence in this movie.
