Burton's Characters

I think that the main difference between the characters from the book vs Burton's movie is the overall time from when each other came out. The characters in the movie seem to have a more modern form of humor to them, where as the characters from the book seem a little more old-fashioned. Also with Burton, you get a much more "extreme" characters than the book. The mad hatter is portrayed with tons of make up on his face and creepy orange eyes; the rabbit is very high strung almost to the point of losing it. The characters are definitely similar, but the ones from the movie have just been updated you could say.
