And the mome raths outgrabe

Disney's version of the Cheshire Cat, of course was not the first, and definately not the last. Here are some other interpretations of the Cheshire Cat.

Lewis Carroll's

Of course, firstly there must be the original Cheshire Cat of Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Tenniel's illustrations. This is where the mischief, the riddles, and of course that grin are first born, stalking the pages of Wonderland. Disney's Cheshire Cat follows the original quite faithfully in character, though perhaps not so much in design (bright pink may not have been the colour of choice back in Victorian times). The biggest difference between them is that Tenniel's Cheshire puss more resembles an ordinary cat, albeit with a menacing grin, whereas Disney's is bright and vibrant, and how many pink cats do you see?

American McGee's

The Cheshire Cat in the game American McGee's Alice, as seen through a more menacing filter. Despite his grim appearence, this version of the cat is not evil. If anything he's certainly more helpful than the original, and Disney version, guiding the player through his riddles throughout the game and advising them in tight spots.
