A ‘Mad Hatter’ Movie Is Coming From the Co-Director of the Animated ‘Grinch’
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.
