Writer/Director/ Producer Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Big Fish) once again hits box
office highs with his new visual masterpiece, Alice in Wonderland. Based on the beloved Lewis Carroll
novel, Burton and screenplay writer Linda Woolverton (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast) take this
version down a darker rabbit hole. This version is actually a sequel to the classic tale and notably mirrors
the original. The visual effects, cinematography, costumes and set designs are remarkable. The casting
of the characters is dead on. Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands, Sweeny Todd) brings his usual
theatrical madness to the role of the Mad Hatter, Mia Wasikowska (Amelia, Defiance) plays an excellent
Alice and Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeny Todd, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix) is brilliant as
the big-headed Red Queen. The dialogue may be a little cheesy and the 3D effects are nothing to get
excited about, however, this may be one of Tim Burton’s best renditions of a classic.
