This is what really bugs me. Every film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland has Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum. They aren’t in the original book! The twins Tweedledum and Tweedledee are from the sequel Through the Looking Glass and what Alice Found There. Speaking of which, I wonder why there aren’t many film adaptations of the second book.

Also, I think the movies (even some of the better ones) make Alice seem WAY too normal. She is NOT normal. She seems extremely hyperactive, flighty, ditsy, even schizophrenic at times.

An Excerpt:

‘Come, there’s no use in crying like that!’ said Alice to herself, rather sharply; ‘I advise you to leave off this minute!’ She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes; and once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. ‘But it’s no use now,’ thought poor Alice, ‘to pretend to be two people! Why, there’s hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!

So yeah, If Alice was just slightly less than your typical young girl, it would explain things more.

Also this being unrelated , Hugh made me hungry. I kept seeing pink delicious cotton candy sitting on top my older sisters head. Sigh.
