Alice in Wonderland

The movie, Alice in Wonderland, by Tim Burton, is a must see film. Inspired by the author Lewis Carroll and the animated Disney movie, Alice in Wonderla­­nd, the producer has recreated the Underworld except 13 years later. He puts the Wonderland to a whole new level, with action and humor around every corner. Now no longer animated, the audience can clearly picture the other world and the fascinating characters. 19-year-old Alice Kingsleigh, daughter of Charles Kingsleigh, is one day suddenly asked to accept a marriage proposal at a garden party from Hamish, an English nobleman. She then becomes distracted by a peculiar rabbit and rushes to catch up to it. Soon, Alice encounters a large hole and accidentally tumbles in, falling into the Underland. Shortly after she enters the world, Alice is told that she is destined to be the White Queen’s champion, the person who will destroy the Jabberwocky, a huge, terrifying dragon, on Frabjous Day. In her adventure, she confronts the Red Queen and her sister, the White Queen, the Mad Hatter, acted out by Johnny Depp, and some magical creatures. With her childhood memory along with the animals’ and the Hatter’s help, Alice Kingsleigh is able to guide herself through the Wonderland. Two of the funniest characters in the movie are the brothers, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. They always disagree with each other and think oppositely. Also, the childish behavior of the Red Queen makes her funny. She wants every single thing to be done her way. Other than these three, there are many more amusing and hilarious parts to the movie. Overall, Alice in Wonderland is a wonderful, exciting movie.
