Burton's Mad Tea Party

  I noticed that some things that we read in the book did not appear in the movie.  For example, the Dormouse was not sleeping throughout the tea party nor did he/she tell a story to Alice.  Also, because the Dormouse did not tell the story, Alice was not able to keep interrupting or ask questions during the Dormouse's story, as she did in the book.  It also seemed that the Mad Hatter was kinder to Alice in the movie and more annoyed with her in the book.  I can not quite remember but I don't think the Chesire Cat showed up in the book like it did in the movie.  I think Burton's movie adds to my interpretation of the story because it gives me a visualization of the characters and the different places that Alice goes throughout the story.
