Alice in Wonderland

2010

Mia Wasikowaska, Johnny Depp, Stephen Fry, Crispin Glover, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Alan Rickman, Michael Sheen, Matt Lucus (and so many more)


Alice has had visions all her life. Of a strange place where cats and rabbits can talk. She is now 19 and betrothed to a perfectly horrid English lord with a digestion problem. She starts to see a white rabbit while at a garden party and as her horrible husband to be proposes she runs off and accidently falls down a rabbit hole. She enters the world of 'Underland' not remembering who she is or why she is important but she needs to remember and fast. The Jabberwocky awaits.

Really really enjoyed this! Much better than Tim Burton's previous Charlie and The Chocolate Factory which was a tad annoying. The colours of Underland were fantastic and i would love to have seen it in 3d to enhance this even more.

Special mentions go to the strangely attractive Crispin Glover as the strangely attractive Knave of Hearts, Ilosevic Stayne....he likes largeness and the very cute Bayard the bloodhound who just wanted to get back to his wife and puppies.
