Only the Mad Hatter is a hatter.
The name "The Mad Hatters Tea Party" might suggest that there is more than one hatter there, but if you put the apostrophe in the correct place it becomes "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party", which means, "the tea party belonging to the Mad Hatter".
In the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Hatter has tea with the March Hare, who is not a rabbit, but hares are similar. In the 1951 Disney animation, the March Hare is at the tea party, but the White Rabbit also visits briefly.
The Hatter is angry with the March Hare because he has broken the Hatter's watch.The Hatter was the first to break the silence. `What day of the month is it?' he said, turning to Alice: he had taken his watch out of his pocket, and was looking at it uneasily, shaking it every now and then, and holding it to his ear.Alice considered a little, and then said `The fourth.'`Two days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. `I told you butter wouldn't suit the works!' he added looking angrily at the March Hare.`It was the BEST butter,' the March Hare meekly replied.`Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well,' the Hatter grumbled: `you shouldn't have put it in with the bread-knife.'The March Hare took the watch and looked at it gloomily: then he dipped it into his cup of tea, and looked at it again: but he could think of nothing better to say than his first remark, `It was the BEST butter, you know.'
The Dormouse is pushed into the teapot at the Mad Hatter and March Hare's teaparty.
Some of the characters:Alice - a young girlThe White Rabbit - Alice follows him into WonderlandThe Queen of Hearts - her favourite line is "Off with his head!"The Cheshire Cat - can disappear gradually/all of a sudden and reappearThe March Hare - Alice meets him at the tea party at the Mad Hatter's houseThe Mad Hatter - same as aboveThe Dormouse - also at the tea party; sleeps all the time
In Disney's 1951 animated film, the Mad Hatter tells the White Rabbit that his watch is "two days slow" and sets about fixing it. First, he dunks it in a pot of tea, then he pours salt into it while trying to get a look at what's wrong with it. He then uses a fork to lever out the cogs, gears, wheels and springs before declaring that it needs some butter. He fills the watch with butter, tea, two teaspoons, and jam (but draws the line at mustard, as that would be silly.) After adding a squeeze of lemon he considers that his work is complete.In the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, it is the Hatter's watch which is broken, but he makes no attempt to fix it.`Two days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. `I told you butter wouldn't suit the works!' he added looking angrily at the March Hare.`It was the BEST butter,' the March Hare meekly replied.`Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well,' the Hatter grumbled: `you shouldn't have put it in with the bread-knife.'The March Hare took the watch and looked at it gloomily: then he dipped it into his cup of tea, and looked at it again: but he could think of nothing better to say than his first remark, `It was the BEST butter, you know.'
The March Hare is the Mad Hatter's friend.
It introduced Alice to the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Cheshire Cat
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Except the Mad Hatter is actually just called 'the Hatter' in the book.)
In the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Hatter has tea with the March Hare, who is not a rabbit, but hares are similar. In the 1951 Disney animation, the March Hare is at the tea party, but the White Rabbit also visits briefly.
The March Hare lives in Wonderland. Specifically, he is known to reside in the Mad Hatter's tea party.
The March Hare is the animal who had tea with Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
This was said in Alice in Wonderland at the Mad Hatter's tea party with the march hare and dormouse.
The Cheshire Cat.
The author, Lewis Carroll never specified which character had the greater fondness for tea. However, both the Hatter and the March Hare appear three times in the Alice books; twice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and once in Through the Looking Glass, and the Hatter is drinking tea on all three occasions, whereas the Hare is only seen drinking tea during the mad tea party.
The March Hare put butter in the Hatter's watch. The Hatter was the first to break the silence. `What day of the month is it?' he said, turning to Alice: he had taken his watch out of his pocket, and was looking at it uneasily, shaking it every now and then, and holding it to his ear. Alice considered a little, and then said `The fourth.' `Two days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. `I told you butter wouldn't suit the works!' he added looking angrily at the March Hare. `It was the BEST butter,' the March Hare meekly replied. `Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well,' the Hatter grumbled: `you shouldn't have put it in with the bread-knife.' The March Hare took the watch and looked at it gloomily: then he dipped it into his cup of tea, and looked at it again: but he could think of nothing better to say than his first remark, `It was the BEST butter, you know.'
The Dormouse
In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice sits down at the tea party uninvited, despite being told that there is "no room" by the March Hare and the Hatter. She does the same in the 1951 Disney version, and the White Rabbit also turns up, but it isn't clear whether or not he has been invited.
