#Mad hatter classic movie

In 2009, Hatter was portrayed by Andrew Lee Potts in the re-imagined version Alice. The top hat has blades in it that could cut through card soldiers like butter. In The Looking Glass Wars, by Frank Beddor, the Mad Hatter is portrayed as Hatter Madigan, the leader of the Queen's personal guard, his hat being his main weapon. He would have also been more malevolent, as he would attempt to kill Alice with a large pair of scissors.

The Mad Hatter appeared in Disney Parks and Disney's House of Mouse.Īn early draft of the film bequeathed him with a more grotesque design. The Mad Hatter is known as a witness along with the March Hare and Dormouse. Alice tries to converse with him but Mad Hatter and March Hare drive him away. Soon the party is once again interrupted by The White Rabbit. As Alice tries to explain The Mad Hatter and March Hare try to change the subject. First The Mad Hatter and March Hare are upset because Alice was not asked to join but become pleased when Alice explains to them that she enjoyed their singing and they welcome her to join. The Mad Hatter and March Hare are singing A Very Merry Unbirthday but is interrupted when Alice starts to clap. Alice visits but in the middle of a very odd Tea Party with The March Hare, The Mad Hatter and The Dormouse. He is first seen when Alice wonders off in the forest and the Cheshire Cat tells her to visit them for directions back home. The Mad Hatter is voiced by Ed Wynn in Disney's 1951 film. The Mad Hatter as seen in Disney's Alice in Wonderland (1951) The dramatis personae for Through the Looking-Glass designates him as being a white pawn. Although he look exactly the same with the first book, it seem Alice doesn't recognize him as the Mad Hatter. The Hatter is also mentioned as one of the White King's messengers (the other is the March Hare) when the King explains that he needs two messengers: 'one to come, and one to go.' Sir James Tenniel's illustration also depicts him sipping from a teacup as he did before in the original novel, adding weight to Carroll's hint that the two characters are indeed the same. This time, however, he is not necessarily guilty: the White Queen explains that quite often subjects are punished before they commit a crime, rather than after, and sometimes they are condemned for crimes they haven't committed. When the character makes his appearance as Hatta in Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There he is in trouble with the law once again.

Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There The Hatter appears again as a witness at the Knave of Hearts' trial, where the Queen appears to recognize him as the singer she sentenced to death, and the King of Hearts also cautions him not to be nervous 'or I'll have you executed on the spot.' The tea party, when Alice arrives, involves switching places at the table at any given time (although based on the rotation, the Hatter is the only one to receive a clean cup since the other characters follow him) making (along with the March Hare) somewhat short, personal remarks asking unanswerable riddles, and reciting nonsensical poetry, all of which eventually drive Alice away. The Hatter explains to Alice that he and the March Hare are trapped in a never-ending tea party because, when he tried to sing for the Queen of Hearts at a celebration, she sentenced him to death for 'murdering the time.' He escaped this fate, but Time, out of anger at his attempted to 'murder', has halted himself for the Hatter, keeping him and the March Hare at 6:00 pm forever.

In the 2010 movie, he is known for his Futterwacken which is a dance of immense joy.ĭescription Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
