Alice in Wonderland

Johnny Depp d/ Tim Burton

Visually splendid treatment of this story. They used quite a bit of artistic license but that was fine with me since the story is designed to be fantastical anyway. A framing device was added that didn't help at all but it was short so didn't hurt too badly.

I found the film unengaging though. While it was fun watching all the neat stuff go by I didn't care at all about the fate of the characters or the resolution of the story (which, of course I knew).

This played as a grotesque which I thought was fine.
