Of all the eccentric supporting characters in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , it's not surprising that the Hatter, aka the Mad Hatter, a noted fan of riddles and tea parties, is getting his own animated movie. It's coming from Amazon MGM Studios and is being adapted by Scott Mosier, who, in addition to being a frequent collaborator of Kevin Smith, has some experience animating beloved children's stories. He co-directed the 2018 animated Grinch movie, which was a huge box-office hit.
This news comes from Deadline , which is light on information other than "plot details are under wraps." It could be an origin story or a retelling of Alice in Wonderland from the Mad Hatter's point of view, or some combination of that. Maybe it's a look at what happened after Alice crashed the tea party. We don't know yet, but given Mosier's work on The Grinch , a more faithful approach seems probable.
Alice in Wonderland has been adapted to film many times in the past, and there's currently a musical take starring Sabrina Carpenter in the works. The Mad Hatter's tea party is an iconic part of Alice's journey, though the kooky host is perhaps most unfortunately associated with Johnny Depp's interpretation in Tim Burton's 2010 film .
