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

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Alice in Wonderland (DVD)
I've read the original Alice In Wonderland book,and watched an old version of it. Then I watched this movie. I absolutely love it. It is one of my most favorite movies I've ever watched. I especially love the cheshire cat. The animation is great, and the movie has a great plot and storyline. It is not to be compared with the book or the old versions. It is meant to be different. I love this version better than all the versions. The characters are great. It has a lot of detail too, and you have to watch it a bunch of times to catch all the details. I've watched it over 15 times and love it soooooooooo much. This movie is the best Alice In Wonderland version yet.

This review is from: Alice in Wonderland (DVD)
One thing I find that people don't realize with this take on Alice in Wonderland is that it is more like a continuation of the movie.Perhaps they were expecting it to be like the cartoon or the other takes on the movie but it isn't. I came to realize after watching interviews by the cast as well as Tim Burton. I think it was fantastically done. It's my opinion that Burton wanted it to be close to the book yet adapted to his own taste as well, a mix of everything. Everyone has different tastes and has different opinions on what they like and don't like. I personally thought it was a great adaption of Alice and enjoyed it. I look forward to Tim Burton movies as he is dark, and does a great job with being different.

This review is from: Alice in Wonderland 3D (Blu-ray 3D/ Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)
A movie I enjoyed more after a few viewings. The 3D version is well done and emphasizes the sense of wonder intended by Burton.
