When Johnny Depp did some research, to play the part of the Hatter, he found that there was a thing called Hatters Disease. Basically, because they used a very toxic substance to glue the hats together which involved a lot of mercury, they ended up being poisoned.
And this poison would manifest in different ways with personality disorders, tourettes-like syndrome and made some even darker and weirder.
There was an orange tint to the actual stuff, hence how the orange hair and face comes about.

He talks about changing nappies and the Wiggles DVD ~ don't you love that.
My daughter saw the movie last night and enjoyed it. She said what was special, was the 3 -D effect. ( She loved the cat with his huge eyes.)
