Burton v Book

Here is my take on things.  There are a few things worth noting (differences/similarities) between the Tim Burton Alice clip we watched and the Alice book we are reading.  Difference - In the book we read that the mouse is quite tired, almost lazy, as it is always trying to sleep.  In the clip the mouse is very much awake and energetic.  Similar - In the book the Mad Hatter is as crazy as he is portrayed in the clip/movie.  Difference - The March Hare in the book seems to be as crazy as the Mad Hatter while in the clip I get the sense that the March Hare is so crazy, he is on the verge of being dangerous, maybe even rabid.  Similar - The Cheshire Cat is as mysterious in the book as he is in the movie.  Difference - As for Alice, in the book she is portrayed as a child and in the clip she is a young adult.  The book Alice is a classic and lasts the test of time.  A very enjoyable read.  What Tim Burton does is to update the book into a movie which for me was an enjoyable watch.  It makes the book come to life.  After finishing this book, I look forward to re-watching Burton's film again.
