Burton v. Carroll

In the clip that we watched in class, the characters seemed pretty different than from in the book. Alice seemed much older and less naive. She almost acted reluctant to do anything that the other characters told her do. Instead, Burton made the other characters excited to see her. In the book, Alice is much more curious of Wonderland and it's inhabitants. The inhabitants are the ones that do not seem all that interested in meeting her. Also, the Mad Hatter seems almost more important than Alice in the movie. In the book, he seems only to play a minor roll compared to Alice. The Mouse in the movie acted hyper and enthused while in the book he merely slept the whole time. I enjoy both the movie and the book, but the differences are obvious.
