Because Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie was freaking AMAZING, that's why. Alice was perfect--pretty in a make-up-less way, constantly changing size and outfits, and spouting any curios poppycock that comes into her mind. The Mad Hatter was awesome, a maginificent hat maker, a good friend to Alice and the March Hare (who, by the way, was adorable in a wacko sort of way) and the Dormouse and the Cheshire Cat.
The Cheshire Cat was...was...wait, gimme a second, I need to find some good adjectives. Stunning. Marvelous. Sensational. Glorious. He was always twisting and spinning in the air and making himself disappear--"evaporating" he called it, and the word fits, because he always disappear in a wispy, smoky sort of way. And he was the ultimate Fat Cat: chubby, fluffy and huggable...with a sly grin, blue stripes and wide teal eyes. Perfect. (I mean, purrfect!) Plus, he was given more personality in this movie. He started out a sort of coward who hid behind his creepy grin, but redeemed himself when he saved the Hatter from being beheaded--and lemme tell ya, that was one awesome scene. In the Hatter's prison cell, the Cheshire Cat appeared, asking for the hat--which was awesome-looking, by the way--because the poor Hatter wouldn't be needing it anymore, and the Hatter said no, he loved his dear hat. So with one goodbye to the lovely hat, the Cat disappeared. But! When the Hatter was seconds away from death-by-beheadityness, his eyes flipped to the Cheshire's eyes--which was cool, but creepy, but COOL--and he evaporated...then the Cheshire Cat's head appeared in the air, grinning like the maniac he is, and wearing the hat.
