Alice in Wonderland is an upcoming fantasy adventure film directed by Tim Burton. It is an extension to the Lewis Carroll novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The film will use a technique combining live action and animation. Mia Wasikowska plays the role of Alice, alongside Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as The White Queen, and Crispin Glover as The Knave of Hearts.
The film is scheduled for release on March 5, 2010 through Walt Disney Pictures in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3-D, as well as in regular theaters. The film has been rated PG by the MPAA for “fantasy action and violence involving scary images and situations and a smoking caterpillar”.
Plot
In the sequel to Lewis Carroll’s original stories; Alice Kingsley, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate shortly after the death of her beloved father. The party, unbeknownst to Alice, is an engagement party planned by her mother and sister. Just as the arrogant and dull lord Hamish Ascot proposes to Alice under a gazebo and under the eyes of hundreds of snooty society-types, Alice spots a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat and pocket watch. In shock and confusion, she runs off into a maze and follows the White Rabbit through it, only to later tumble down a rabbit hole into Underland (more commonly referred to as “Wonderland” by its inhabitants), a place she visited ten years before, yet doesn’t remember. In Wonderland, she reunites with her childhood friends, including the Mad Hatter, who explains to Alice that they need her help in over-throwing the Red Queen; who has taken control of Wonderland from her sister, the White Queen. Alice is also told that she is the only one who can slay the Jabberwock, the dragon who terrorizes the inhabitants of Wonderland under the rule of the Red Queen. Alice then embarks — assuming both large and small sizes — on an adventure of self discovery and to save Wonderland and her Wonderland friends from both the Jabberwock and the Red Queen’s reign of terror.

I saw the midnight showing of Alice In Wonderland. Although the performances were great, and the animation was really cool (I love how they did the Cheshire Cat), I was not pleased with the script. It wasn’t very developed, and it was kinda boring. I still enjoyed the movie, though.

Thats some great fundamentals there, already knew some of that, but you can always learn . I doubt a “kid” could put together such information as dolphin278 suggested. Maybe he’s just attempting to be “controversial? lol

hi there really good little journal ya got here
I work with the exact same theme on mine however for whichever cause it would seem to load a lot quicker on this web site eventhough this blog consists of a little more content material. Are you currently working with some plugins or widgets which will quicken it up? Do you think you could show the titles so that I might use them on my own websites so twilight eclipse fans could watch twilight eclipse online trailers and videos more rapidly I’d be ever so grateful – kudos ahead of time
