Alice in Wonderland (Movie-2010)


Title: Alice in Wonderland
Format: Movie-released 3/5/2010


Summary: This movie is based on the original Alice in Wonderland story made famous by Disney. This version was originally based on a book called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. This movie strays a little from the original version of the book that we all are familiar with to some extent. If you can get past the changes on plot and strange changes in the characters, this is an entertaining movie. It is visually pleasing with its use of bright colors, brilliant costumes and make-up, and creative use of CGI and props. In this version, Alice is about to be proposed to by a man she does not want to marry and in a flurry of activity and emotion she falls down a hole in a tree. From here her journey begins in wonderland, where she learns she must end the reign of the terrible red queen, which can only be done by killing the Jabberwocky. She learns that she has previously been to wonderland as a child, which she thought was just a dream. In the end she saves the white queen and all the creatures of wonderland, freeing herself as well. It is entertaining and again fun to watch the comical acting of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen.
