“Amazon MGM Studios is developing an animated Mad Hatter movie from Scott Mosier, who previously directed 2018’s THE GRINCH movie,” ScreenRant reported — THE GRINCH earned Movieguide®’s Best Movie for Families Award.

Audiences last saw the Mad Hatter onscreen in Disney’s 2010 and 2016 live-action ALICE IN WONDERLAND movies, as well as in ABC’s ONCE UPON A TIME series.
This isn’t the only ALICE production in the works. Last year, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that a movie musical version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND is in development, with pop star Sabrina Carpenter set to star and produce for Universal Pictures.
“It is unclear what Carpenter is undertaking, but sources say the project is a passion project for the global pop star,” THR reported. “Carpenter is said to have approached the studio about a year ago with specific ideas and a lookbook. As the concept evolved, producers and eventually [writer and director Lorene] Scafaria were added to the tea party.”
Additionally, the original Disney version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. Part of the celebrations included a new 4K restoration of the beautifully animated movie.
“The original animation artists’ work on ALICE IN WONDERLAND is stunning, and we’re proud to present it with renewed clarity and vibrancy,” Kevin Schaeffer, Director of Restoration & Library Management, said, via Animation Magazine. “This milestone restoration brings new depth and dimension to the film’s imaginative world, offering a vibrant presentation for longtime fans and a new generation of audiences alike.”
Kathryn Beaumont, who voiced Alice in the 1951 movie, as well as served as a live-action model for the animators, recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight about being part of the now-iconic movie.
“These stories do come back every so many years and it does give you a wonderful feeling of nostalgia,” Beaumont shared. “And each time the film comes out, it just renews that wonderful memory again.”
The story of ALICE IN WONDERLAND has captivated audiences for decades, and it looks like these new versions will continue to delight fans of the story.
