For starters, it seems that everyone I know is shocked when I tell them that this Alice in Wonderland is a sequel of sorts. At the age of 19 and about to be forced into marriage, this is Alice's second trip to Wonderland. I'm glad Tim Burton and his team came up with a new story that still featured all the great characters from the original source material. That's also where the weakest part of the movie lies. The dialogue given to the characters is great, but the script is razor thin. I think if more effort went into this particular aspect, I might have given it five stars. I saw it in IMAX 3-D and the visuals are as grand and beautiful as you would expect from Burton. It's not quite as eye-popping as Avatar, which was shot completely in IMAX 3-D, whereas, Alice in Wonderland was upconverted (Clash of the Titans did the same thing to bad effect). The music by Danny Elfman is some of his best stuff in recent years and the costumes/makeup are top notch. Aside from the look of film, the acting also makes it very memorable. There are so many well animated and voice acted characters running around I don't know where to begin. I guess I'll start with those made of flesh and blood. I didn't like Depp's take on Willy Wonka that much, and I'm a big fan of his, but his Mad Hatter is just the right amount of crazy. His voice goes back and forth from having a lisp to sounding like William Wallace from Braveheart. His look is so jarring, you probably wouldn't even know it was him if you somehow dodged all the advertisements before entering the theater. Helena Bonham Carter played the Red Queen brilliantly. I couldn't take my eyes off her giant head. Anne Hathaway really surprised me here (in a good way) with her take on the White Queen and it was nice to see Crispin Glover back on the big screen in a role that suited him. Last, but certainly not least, Mia Wasikowska was absolutely captivating as Alice. The way she talked and her reactions were just what the film needed in it's central role. All the digital animal characters were great, but my favorites were the Cheshire Cat, voice by Stephen Fry, and the March Hare voiced by Paul Whitehouse. I'm somewhat surprised that the combination of violence and meanness, along with the smoking Blue Caterpillar didn't get this a PG-13 rating. It's not too harsh, but young kids might get a little freaked out. Overall, Alice in Wonderland looks like a polished jewel, has great acting/voice acting, wonderful music and even manages to get quite a few laughs in the process. If only the simple story didn't let me down in the end, this could have been a classic in the making. Even still, I wouldn't mind Tim Burton taking us on another trip down the rabbit hole in a few years.

This is one of my favorite Tim Burton films, and the blu-ray offers a beautiful rendering of it, with excellent sound reproduction. I won't review the movie itself, since many others already have done it -- but I did notice some reviewers criticizing the film for not simply being a live-action version of the Disney cartoon version from the early 1950s. I don't think Burton intended it to be. It struck me as borrowing from the elements of the cartoon, and from Carroll's Through The Looking Glass, and particularly his poem about the Jabberwock -- and using all those elements as a backdrop for a tale of an intelligent, independent-minded young woman finding the courage and confidence to break from the social constraints of her day. To me, this blu-ray offers a colorful and poignant visual experience, with great music, great acting, and great dialogue from a real visionary. Along with "Edward Scissorhands," another favorite of mine, I highly recommend it.

C'mon! It's Johnny Depp! The man is a genius in everything he does, and this is no exception! And Ms. Helen BonhamCarter made a fantastic Queen (loved you in Cinderella and Harry too sweetheart!) The best rendition of Alice I've ever seen. The concept, acting, (Alice was great!) and cinematography is seriously top notch! Fantastic! If ya haven't seen it, get it! Bring the kiddies!

I really love Disney movies, and Disney did a great job with the Alice In Wonderland stories combining animation with real life characters......You would think it really is possible! Plus while in the beginning I didn't really like Johnny Depp he was able to change my opinion and now, I look for his movies (Dark Shadows is another Great Johnny Depp movie).

I am 60 years old and when this book was read to me and I saw the original movie of Alice in wonderland, I was amazed at the movie which was quite different than this. Watch the original movie, and compare it. I do like it definitely!

All kidding aside, this is another Burton classic. It has a few scary scenes for the little ones, but nothing that intense where they won't enjoy it. Overall, a really great interpretation of the original. Picked it up for $9.99 on sale, which is a bargain to get the DVD + Blu-ray combo.

One of my favorite movies, period!! I love the vivid colors and the imagery is just wonderful. Everything is so beautiful to look at. Very magical movie. What a visual treat. =D

did not care for this film in 2d, but this is a case where the 3d version greatly improves the film. very pleased at having so many viewing options, and with disney movies anywhere you get a digital copy, which is not 3d, in both itunes and vudu as well as anywhere else you stream your digital copies from i.e. google. fun!

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is a wonderfully-entertaining movie. Though we already own the blu-ray, I really wanted to see the 3-D version. It doesn't make the film and better or worse, necessarily, but it provides a new way to enjoy a movie that my family views regularly.

This is an unusual spin on the classic "Alice in Wonderland" tale, with nuances best appreciated by adults. The story is good... odd, but good. The casting was very good. The performances were very good. The set designs and special effects were impressive.

GREAT movie, great color, etc. for this 1st movie in the sequel. They are both awesome, but love this one the most !! My son & I can watch it over and over again !! Never get tired of this movie !!

It skyrocketed Disney Movies from their regular anime converting to real live action feature. With the starpower of Johhny Depp as the Mad Hatter, this Tim Burton film packs a lot of Fun and amazing imagery and its on 3D! Highly Recommended!

Experience Tim Burton's Wonderland the way it was intended to be. Watching it on my 4K 65inch tv the characters are true to life and pop off the screen emersing you into the magical world of Wonderland. I highly recommend it to other Alive fans.

I recently realized that I didn't have this movie in my collection. It's a great movie, and I needed it to finish the series, since I have the second one. Plus, it was a better price here than anywhere else!

My 5 year old daughter absolutely loved this movie! Our entire family watched it together and we all loved it. Can never beat a good old fashion kids/family movie for the whole family to watch together.

I finally found it. After my daughter purchased it online but had to send it back because it didn't work. I finally found it at Best Buy. Even though it came with Blu-ray and regular DVD I bought it. Couldn't pass the price of $10 up

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Very good visuals and sound to go with it. Every character is great. This is the best remake of any Disney movie.

Absolutely can not wait for the next one! The next one is sure to be great. This is a darker version of Alice and wonderland. May scare smaller children. My six year old was a little nervous watching this version but still loved it.

Alice in Wonderland. Loved this movie. However, no digital copy included. I would recommend it to a friend.

I got this movie when I saw a preview of the second Alice movie when at Disney California Adventure. I just had to watch this movie before watching the next movie. Also my friend enjoyed this movie.
