Burton's Characters
After reading the original version of the book, I've come to the conclusion that I much more like Burton's version of the book portrayed in his movie. I've seen the movie multiple times and the way he gives them so much emotion and detail and color is unmatchable. The book was very good and interesting but the movie makes the story much more vivid. The main difference that I noticed was the age of Alice. In the book she was supposed to be around 8 years old and in the movie she was about 15. The thing that stands out the most to me in Burton's movie was how crazy Johnny Depp looked as the Mad Hatter. He did an exceptional job.

I think you have a good point, Isaac. I think the movie definitely has more of a degree of appeal, but I think my appreciation for it is deepened by my experience with the book. They have a strange way of supplementing each other.
