       为了让疯帽匠给自己做帽子，红桃皇后松开了他的手铐。柴郡猫在关键时刻赶来救他，替他上刑场时还坚持戴上这顶帽子。疯帽匠的帽子到底有什么魔力，让大家如此着迷呢？

连柴郡猫都想要 疯帽匠的帽子是何神物？

疯帽匠的帽子上贴着价格标签，意思是十先令六便士。

       影片中疯帽匠的帽子如同神物，它可以让变小的爱丽丝当飞船坐，也许因为其他原因，连神秘的柴郡猫也想得到它。到了最后这顶帽子几经波折回到疯帽匠的头上，但大家都忘了追问，它到底是做什么用的？

        原著复现：这顶帽子本身没什么功用，原著中疯帽匠作证人出席红桃皇后馅饼失窃案的庭审时坚持不脱帽子，他的理由是这顶帽子不是他的，因为作为一个帽匠，所有帽子都是用来卖的（注意，无论原著插画还是电影版，疯帽匠的帽子上都有个写着10/6的牌子，那个正是帽子的价牌，意思是十先令六便士）。

       但国王认为只要不属于他的物品就是偷窃罪，然后两人进行了一段全是一语双关词的无厘头对话，最后由红桃皇后宣布“砍头”（英文里头和帽子音近，皇后称take off his head，取的是摘帽的谐音）。所以影片里疯帽匠和睡鼠已不是首度被斩首，如果说电影版是续集，他们在书中其实早应该死了。

“是从南往东(从东往南)” 胖子兄弟指路为何总相反？

胖子兄弟为爱丽丝指路，原著中为她指路的是柴郡猫。

       爱丽丝刚走进仙境时就遭遇红桃骑士和班纳毛怪的追杀，带着胖兄弟逃到岔路口，两兄弟各执一词，一个说路应该是从南往东，一个说应该从东往南，结果被鹰头狮身兽抓走。而在红桃皇后宫殿里，当爱丽丝问他们路时，再次上演了这样一幕。

       原著复现：孪生胖兄弟是书籍《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》中的人物，他们正好是镜子的两面，在爱丽丝遇到他们后总是说着一些“二元论”调调和英语语法里虚拟语态来搞怪的逻辑辩论。可惜这对兄弟在片中被红桃皇后当做插科打诨的小丑，爱丽丝也搞不懂他们大智若愚的胡话。

       而原著里为爱丽丝指路的，应该是柴郡猫，当爱丽丝在岔路上不知去向时，柴郡猫说：“如果你都不知道自己想去哪里，那去哪里都是一样的。”此类逻辑也是原著的一大特色。

       至于柴郡猫这个角色，书中它和红桃国王见面的时候，坚持不行吻手礼，充分体现了它的孤傲和骨气。电影版里依然保持着书中的性格，片中疯帽匠质问它为什么在红桃皇后施行暴政后就不再挺身而出，它不正面回答还问疯帽匠要那顶帽子。
