You
have to admit it. It is impossible to ignore! Alice in Wonderland
has to be the weirdest book ever written. I'm not talking the Disney
movie, now. That was way watered down, and it wasn't just Alice
in Wonderland, either. In fact, it was a mix between Alice
in Wonderland and Lewis Carroll's other book, Through the looking
Glass! But, even though it was watered down, the fact is that
the whole idea of it all is absurd. Smiling cats, mad hatters, an
army that consisted of a deck of cards...what was this guy on to have thought
this stuff up? Can he teach me to think like that? But seriously
now. half the stuff in the Disney version didn't even come from Alice
in Wonderland at all. That garden of live flowers, for instance.
You won't find THAT anywhere in the book! It's in Through the
Looking Glass. And stuff that WAS in the book, like the mock
turtle's story, was nowhere to be found in Disney's version.
The Mad Hatter is my favorite character in the story.
Lots of other people have used his image in movies, shows,
and videos.
Here are some of the ones I have found.
The new Alice in Wonderland, starring Martin Short as the Mad hatter,
airs on Feburary 28th!
Who can forget the villan from the cartoon "Batman"? He's supurb!
Ah yes...Tom Petty's video for "Don't Come Around Here No More" has
a great Alice in Wonderland theme.
