one of those discs I bought b/c I could get it cheap and/or I wanted to see more TB/JD.

Sorta glad I didn't read the synopsis first. It was interesting trying to determine if this was going to be the traditional Lewis Carroll story or not.

I like the look of it. The featurettes show the actors working on green screen, and a lot of them are in green suits, so a lot of it is artwork, not scenery/costumes.

I like the feminism of it. Alice isn't a child, and acts the hero.

Some of the characters change/grow emotionally in a satisfying way.

Definitely want to see the followup, Through the Looking Glass.

Rated 6.5 (354,839)
