I would very much like to hat it.” Upon seeing Alice so tiny, the Mad Hatter said, “You used to be much more…”muchier.” You’ve lost your muchness.” And, the best line of them all when Alice says “This is impossible,” the Mad Hatter responds,” Only if you believe it is.” Brilliant. Some of The Mad Hatter’s funniest quotes are: “What a regrettably large head you have. The most famous of which is the one he asks Alice, “Why is a raven like a writing desk?”, but when pushed for the answer, he tells Alice he has no idea! He Said What? He’s also known for nonsensical statements and silly, unsolvable riddles. You can’t think about The Mad Hatter without thinking about his colorful clothing and oversized hat that he pulls surprises out of. Luckily for him, he escaped but “time” decides to retaliate and keeps him and the Hare stuck at 6 p.m. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter tells Alice the story that he was once sentenced to death for murdering “time” when he tried to sing for the queen. If you haven’t had the pleasure of being introduced to the Mad Hatter just yet, let us do the honors. So go ahead - now you have an excuse to release your silly! If you have to have one though, here it is! Today, Saturday, October 6, is Mad Hatter Day! It celebrates the whimsical, wonky character who first appeared in author Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Overall, I'd recommend Alice Through the Looking Glass if you are looking for a light movie, maybe a weekend matinée.You should not need a reason to act silly no matter what your age. Another reason was that I had just finished watching Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which I loathed, so Through the Looking Glass felt like a Burton-esque film that wasn't garbage. I was expecting it to be unwatchably bad.
#DISNEY MAD HATTER MOVIE#
Maybe one of the reasons I didn't mind this movie was because my expectations were appropriately grounded. I thought there were fine too not earth shattering nor dull. The big thing about this movie were the special effects. I thought he was a solidly balanced character that I enjoyed watching. Sure, I can see that in terms of his accent but I don't think it's a minus point to the movie. In one review, someone said that Sasha Baron Cohen's performance of Time was just Cohen doing an impression of Werner Herzog.
The performances were all perfectly good.
In Through the Looking Glass, we can just have an adventure. I suspect that that might be the case because with the first one, the crux of the movie is the spectacle that is Burton's interpretation of Alice in Wonderland we have to introduce all of the characters and tie them all together with an adventure. While I didn't see the first one, my wife did and she thought this one was better. We've got Johnny Depp returning as the Mad Hatter but he's just kind of in the background doing his thing instead of being center stage.
#DISNEY MAD HATTER FREE#
How's that for a spoiler free plot teaser? Any-who, the first thing I would like to note about this iteration of the franchise is how it's not directed by Tim Burton and you can tell because we aren't being beaten over the head with whimsy. Alice has to, once again, go into Wonderland to save the day even if it means traveling through time. In this adventure, the Mad Hatter (Depp) is dying of sadness because he believes that his family (long thought to have perished at the hands of the Jabberwocky) is actually alive but just lost. Bottom line: The perfectly OK Alice Through the Looking Glass is getting pretty terrible reviews but I don't really know why it makes me want to ask, "What were you expecting?" 2.5/4 Alice Through the Looking Glass is the sequel to Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland.
