From the press release:
From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure ALICE IN WONDERLAND, a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. JOHNNY DEPP stars as the Mad Hatter and MIA WASIKOWSKA as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. The all-star cast also includes ANNE HATHAWAY, HELENA BONHAM CARTER and CRISPIN GLOVER. The screenplay is by Linda Woolverton.
Capturing the wonder of Lewis Carroll’s beloved “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865) and “Through the Looking-Glass” (1871) with stunning, avant-garde visuals and the most charismatic characters in literary history, ALICE IN WONDERLAND comes to the big screen in Disney Digital 3D™ on March 5, 2010.

Saw the trailer in 3D yesterday – looks great (as all Burton films do)! I wish I was the brown bunny the Mad Hatter’s holding in the promo photos

Really looking forward to this. Tim can do no wrong. Not really digging anything I’ve seen so far though except for Alice and the rabbit hole drop.

It’s funny, but what I’d like to see is an authentic interpretation of the source material in film. It’s actually never been done, except for that creepy stop motion with the real girl version of Alice’s Adventures, otherwise the made for TV musical version of both books from the 80′s is the closest to following the source material. Burton’s version seems more like a revisit to the Disney version, which I don’t hate, but it’s a different beast.
The themes and subtext in Through the Looking Glass and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland are not the same, and blending the two together I have always felt was a bit of a disservice to the originals. I think it was Leah Moore who pointed out that Through the Looking Glass is a different beast altogether.
We tend, from our popular culturists point of view, to see Alice and Wonderland as just a trippy place, where things do as they say to the letter of what they say, and mean entirely different things. But there’s so much more to those books… it doesn’t really matter what stance you take, that they represent repressed fantasies, victorian social/political commentary, differences in perception between children and adults, the unreality of life… ect… the Dodgson’s books are hefty tomes, heavily underrated intellectually. Possibly from over exposure, but I still argue that society as a whole has been over exposed to it’s rip-offs, homages, and revisits, than the actual original tomes.

hi there!!!
I saw this film in 3d. It is really challenging.
Fresh humor and admirable Alice adventure. Well, it gives me faith that dream can change people from innocent to maturity..

This movie was just crazy. I missed it in 3D, but it was still good otherwise. They could’ve just as easily called it “Alice Returns to Wonderland”.
