I have never seen Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland, but by watching the clip we saw in class and reading the book I do see some distinct differences between the two characters. While watching the clip in class, I felt the Hatter had more of an intention to help Alice out while she was in Wonderland. He had her drink the potion that shrank Alice and put her in the teapot so that she would not be seen by the knight (or whatever he was). The Hatter in the movie, seemed polite and caring.
In the book, I feel like he would not have cared at all if Alice were to get in any sort of trouble. Also in the book, the hatter seemed to irritate Alice. In the movie, Alice and the Hatter seemed to get along quite well. It was also kind of strange that in the movie the Hatter seemed to know what was going on around him and it was interesting that he even was able to understand that if the knight had seen Alice, she would have been in trouble. In the book, the Hatter did not seem to realize what was going on in the outside world, he was to caught up in his own world and more importantly "tea time".
