Tim Burton was born to bring Alice in Wonderland to the big screen. Ironically, his version of the Victorian text plays more like The Wizard of Oz than a Lewis Carroll adaptation. On the day of her engagement party, the 19-year-old Alice (a nicely understated Mia Wasikowska) is lead by a white-gloved rabbit to an alternate reality that looks strangely familiar--she's been dreaming about it since she was 6 years old. Stranded in a hall of doors, she sips from a potion that makes her shrink and nibbles on a cake that makes her grow. Once she gets the balance right, she walks through the door that leads her to Tweedledum and Tweedledee (Matt Lucas), the Dormouse (Barbara Windsor), the Blue Caterpillar (Alan Rickman), and the Cheshire Cat (a delightful Stephen Fry), who inform her that only she can free them from the wrath of the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter channeling Bette Davis) by slaying the Jabberwocky. To pull off the feat, she teams up with the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp in glam-rock garb), rebel bloodhound Bayard (Timothy Spall), and Red's sweet sister, the White Queen (Anne Hathaway in goth-rock makeup). While Red welcomes Alice with open arms, she plans an execution for the hat-maker when he displeases her ("Off with his head!"). Drawing from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, Burton creates a candy-colored action-adventure tale with a feminist twist. If it drags towards the end, his 3-D extravaganza still offers a trippy good time with a poignant aftertaste. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I just watched this with my 8 year old daughter, and we both loved it. The costumes and sets are amazing.

I read in an interview that Tim Burton was not pleased with the original Alice in Wonderland book as he never felt a connection with the characters. So with this movie he sets out a clever reimagining of the classic. Alice is shown as a complete opposite of the expectations of women of that period. The book is familiar to most of us however the retelling is what drew me to this movie. Tim Burton does not disappoint in bringing the book to life with vivid scenery and colorful landscapes with colors out of this world with the help of amazing makeup and costumes. I enjoyed this movie for these features and gave it three stars. 10/16/10

I bought this dvd just to introduce grandchildren to the world of imagination and wonder after having read to them the original story. They and I enjoyed it very much, and found it dealt with the many scenes in the book very well and was quite faithful to it. Imagination and not push buttons is still the best form of entertainment. Well done to all who made the film.
