ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Cast: Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas and the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Barbara Windsor, Christopher Lee.
Dir: Tim Burton
I'm a huge Tim Burton fan and I love Alice in Wonderland (a childhood favorite of mine) but I'm kind of disappointed in this one. When I first heard of the project I kind of hoped it would be Burton's take on the Lewis Carroll stories so I was taken aback by the fact that it's a sequel of sorts. I was hoping it would still be the dark, weird, wild and funny tale but it wasn't. There are still some great visuals but alas, this is minor Burton, at best.
Oscar Prospects: Art Direction, Costume Design and maybe Visual Effects and Makeup.
Grade: C+
