Burton's Tea Part
When I first saw the new Alice movie, I didn't appreciate a lot of it. I knew it wasn't based on the original, but I didn't realize how it tied in with it. After reading the book, I see that Burton definitely put his own spin on it, but also stayed true to a lot of the original Alice details. The tea party set up was very similar. The same characters being stuck at tea and not making a lot of sense. The use of the same spin off of the song twinkle, twinkle was even used. The part that stuck with me as the big difference was how the Mad Hatter acted at one point. He started talking about how he was stuck at tea and started to get very angry. The Hatter has been stuck at tea time all these years, and Burton's film showed the character having an angry side being stuck that long. It gave another side to the Hatter character that wasn't in that scene of the book.
