===Films===
[[File:Alice in Wonderland (1951) - Mad Hatter.png|thumb|upright 1|The Mad Hatter from [[Alice in Wonderland (1951 film)|1951 animated film]].]]
* In the 1951 [[Walt Disney]] animated feature ''[[Alice in Wonderland (1951 film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'', the Hatter, referred to by others as "The Mad Hatter", appears as a short, hyperactive man with grey hair, a large nose and a comical voice. He was voiced by [[Ed Wynn]] in 1951, and by [[Corey Burton]] in his later appearances (''[[Bonkers (American TV series)|Bonkers]]'', ''[[House of Mouse]]''), while [[Alan Tudyk]] voices him in the short film ''[[Once Upon a Studio]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-22 |title=10 Fun Facts About Disney's Once Upon A Studio Short |url=https://mamasgeeky.com/2023/09/once-upon-a-studio-fun-facts.html |access-date=2023-09-25 |language=en-US}}</ref> Alice stumbles upon the Hatter and the March Hare having an "un-birthday" party for themselves. The Hatter asks her the infamous riddle "why is a raven like a writing desk?", but when she tries to answer the Hatter and the March Hare think she is "stark raving mad" and the Hatter completely forgot that he asked her the riddle. Throughout the course of the film, the Hatter pulls numerous items out of his hat, such as cake and smaller hats. His personality is that of a child; angry one second, happy the next.
* The Hatter appears in [[Tim Burton]]'s [[Alice in Wonderland (2010 film)|2010 version of ''Alice in Wonderland'']], portrayed by [[Johnny Depp]] and given the name [[Tarrant Hightopp]].<ref name="script">{{cite web |url=http://www.joblo.com/scripts/Alice%20in%20Wonderland.pdf |title=Alice in Wonderland – Glossary of Terms/Script (early draft) |work=Walt Disney Pictures |publisher=JoBlo.com |access-date=30 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606122515/http://www.joblo.com/scripts/Alice%20in%20Wonderland.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2011 |url-status=live}}</ref> In the film, the Hatter takes Alice toward the White Queen's castle and relates the terror of the Red Queen's reign while commenting that Alice is not the same as she once was. The Hatter subsequently helps Alice avoid capture by the Red Queen's guards by allowing himself to be seized instead. He is later saved from execution by the Cheshire Cat and calls for rebellion against the Red Queen. Near the end of the film, the Hatter unsuccessfully suggests to Alice that she could stay in Wonderland and consummate his feelings for her. Critical reception to Johnny Depp's portrayal of the Hatter was generally positive. [[David Edelstein]] of ''[[New York Magazine]]'' remarked that while the elements of the character suggested by Depp don't entirely come together, "Depp brings an infectious [[summer-stock]] zest to everything he does."<ref name="NewYorkMagazine">{{cite magazine |url=http://nymag.com/movies/reviews/64316/ |title=David Edelstein on 'Alice in Wonderland', 'The Yellow Handkerchief', and 'The Art of the Steal' -- New York Magazine Movie Review |magazine=New York Magazine |author=David Edelstein |date=28 February 2010 |access-date=6 March 2013 }}</ref> Bill Goodykoontz of ''[[The Arizona Republic]]'' said that "Depp is exactly what you'd expect, which is a good thing. Gap-toothed and leering, at times he looks like [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]] after sticking a fork in a toaster. How he finds his characters is anybody's guess, a sort of thrift-store warehouse of eccentricities, it seems like. But it works."<ref name="ArizonaRepublic">{{cite news |url=http://www.azcentral.com/thingstodo/movies/articles/2010/03/03/20100303alice0305.html?nclick_check=1 |title=Alice in Wonderland |newspaper=The Arizona Republic |author=Bill Goodykoontz |date=3 March 2010 |access-date=6 March 2013 }}</ref> [[Owen Gleiberman]] of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' had a more mixed opinion and commented that Depp as the Hatter is "a fantastic image, but once Depp opens his mouth, what comes out is a noisome Scottish brogue that makes everything he says sound more or less the same. The character offers no captivatingly skewed bat-house psychology. There isn't much to him, really—he's just a smiling Johnny one-note with a secret hip-hop dance move—and so we start to react to him the way that Alice does to everything else: by wondering when he's going to stop making nonsense."<ref name="EntertainmentWeekly">{{cite magazine |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20348226,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100307011542/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20348226,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=7 March 2010 |title=''Alice in Wonderland'' Review |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |author=Owen Gleiberman |date=3 March 2010 |access-date=6 March 2013 }}</ref> [[Kenneth Turan]] of ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' stated that "there's no denying Depp's gifts and abilities, but this performance feels both indulgent and something we've all seen before."<ref name="LATimes">{{cite news |url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-alice4-2010mar04,0,7137809.story |title=Review: 'Alice in Wonderland' |newspaper=Los Angeles Times|author=Kenneth Turan |date=4 March 2010 |access-date=6 March 2013 }}</ref>

* The Mad Hatter appears in ''[[Alice (miniseries)|Alice]]'', portrayed by [[Andrew-Lee Potts]].

* The Mad Hatter appears in ''[[Once Upon a Time (TV series)|Once Upon a Time]]'', portrayed by [[Sebastian Stan]]. This version can travel between dimensions using his hat and has a daughter, Grace, who lost her mother Priscilla as a result of a past deal with the Evil Queen. When the Queen offers him enough wealth to set his daughter up for life, he agrees to help her travel to Wonderland, but when it is revealed that the goal was for the Queen to retrieve her captured father, the Hatter is left trapped in Wonderland instead, as the portal will only allow two people to pass through it in either direction. Trapped in Wonderland, he was then driven mad as he attempted to find another way back to his world to reunite with his daughter. In the [[Once Upon a Time season 1|first season]], trapped in the Land Without Magic, the Mad Hatter - now known as 'Jefferson' and living un the outskirts of Storeybrooke - is one of the few who remembers his original life due to his insanity. His daughter has also been brought into Storeybrooke, but he has avoided making contact with her due to her new memories meaning that she would not recognise him. Unable to harness magic in this world, he attempts to recruit Emma to make a hat for him, but she is unable to harness her power, although Jefferson's knowledge of the curse gives Emma further proof that Henry is telling the truth. Regina later recruits Jefferson to help her create a curse to use on Emma, but Regina's efforts backfire and give Emma clear proof that the curse is real. In the [[Once Upon a Time season 2|second season]], with the curse broken, Jefferson is convinced to reunite with his daughter.

Unlike most Wonderland residents, he acts rather bratty and rude to Ariko (the "Alice" of the game). In one of the bad endings, Mad Hatter is killed by the [[Cheshire Cat]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nmp.sp.sdnsrv.net/official-en/top-en.php|title=''Alice's Warped Wonderland''|publisher=[[Sunsoft]]|access-date=26 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://nmp.sp.sdnsrv.net/index.php?lnk=aliceTop|title=''Alice's Warped Wonderland'' ~Encore~|publisher=[[Sunsoft]]|access-date=26 August 2018}}</ref>

===Live performance===
* In 1887, the Alice books were adapted for stage by Savile Clarke. Lewis Carol wrote a review he called ""Alice" on the Stage". He singled out for praise "the Hatter" played by Sydney Harcourt (who also played Tweedledum), saying "To see him enact the Hatter was a weird and uncanny thing, as though some grotesque monster, last seen in a dream, should walk into a room in broad daylight and quietly say "Good Morning!" I need not try to describe what I ment the Hatter to be, since, as far as I can now remember, it was exactly what Mr. Harcourt has now made him: and I may say nearly the same about Tweedledum: but the Hatter surprised me most-perhaps only because it came first in the play." 
* The Disney incarnation of the Mad Hatter appears as a meet-and-greet character at the [[Disneyland Resort]], [[Walt Disney World Resort]], [[Tokyo Disney Resort]], [[Disneyland Paris]] and [[Hong Kong Disneyland Resort]].
* In ''[[Shrek The Musical]]'', the Mad Hatter plays a small role as a fairytale creature (replacing the Gnome) and has two lines in songs including "They ridiculed my hat" and "I smell like sauerkraut".
* Frank Wildhorn composed the music to and co-wrote the music to ''[[Wonderland (musical)|Wonderland: A New Alice]]''. In this adaption the Hatter is portrayed as a female, the villain of the story, and Alice's alter-ego and is a mad ''woman'' who longs to be Queen. She was played by Nikki Snelson in the original Tampa, Florida production, and then by Kate Shindle in the Tampa/Houston Tour, and the production on Broadway.
* In the 2015 Cbeebies Pantomime, the Mad Hatter (here just called the Hatter) is played by Andy Day, who got top male billing in promotional material. He first appears at the tea party, which is also attended by the March Hare, the Doormouse, the White Rabbit and Alice herself. They play the game and sing the song "Ring Around the Table". He later appears at the Queen of Hearts' Garden Party where he competed in the Croquet game (alongside the Queen and the Duchess); he hit the hedgehog but missed the hoop.
