When my three children agreed to see the new Tim Burton movie, “Alice in Wonderland”, I must admit I was apprehensive. While I believe that Johnny Depp is a superb actor, I’m not a fan of the dark and often chaotic characters he portrays. Didn’t we all think the original story by Lewis Carroll “Alice in Wonderland” was weird enough? A pretty little girl, a talking rabbit and a mad hatter. . .concocted from a dream or drugs, right?… Yes, but this film raked in $116 million at its debut and is still the No. 1 movie for a third consecutive weekend.
So, here I go again. Seeing this strange film, full price at the theater with all 3 kids! I was happily surprised! Alice is a brave young lady with an extraordinary sense of “muchness”, as the Mad Hatter puts it. The Mad Hatter is a bit mad, but with a great wit and large heart about him. The colorful, supporting characters added great depth to the wonderland. The Cheshire Cat, the dog, the mouse, the short tempered Red Queen, tweedle dee & tweedle dum, and the crazy smoking caterpillar were either endearing, comical or wise!
I must add that Mia Wasikowska’s (Alice’s) wardrobe was spectacularly clever and beautiful. Anne Hathaway was the pure, younger queen and wore an angelic white gown and ghost-like hair. Not near the beauty of Alice’s clothing but I must say her army and horse’s armor were stunning!
With all the color, beautiful costumes and clever characters, there must be some great memoralibilia out there for fans, i.e., T-shirts, artwork, costumes and of course, wallets!
