Not the original story, this is Tim Burton’s take on Lewis Carroll’s colourful characters. Alice is now 19, a mercurial, independent woman about to be married to a foppish man - because it’s expected. But something’s stirring in the bushes - read it how you will. And she’s off - chasing after a mysterious White Rabbit and falling down, down the rabbit hole and into Underland. Alice doesn’t remember she’s been here before. But the Mad Hatter does. And the Red Queen won’t be pleased she’s back. Hailed as the foretold slayer of the Jabberwock, Alice must brave the monstrous Bandersnatch, and find her way back home. Otherwise, it’s off with her head. Underland? It’s what happens when you grow up - losing your sense of wonder. It’s finding out who you really are. It’s trouble and strife, the dark things of life. It’s Tim Burton: his milieu from Edward Scissorhands to Sleepy Hollow, from the Nightmare Before Christmas to Willy Wonka, from Corpse Bride to Sweeney Todd. Characters on the cusp of adulthood, fears and fantasies in a melting-pot where anything’s possible. FILM REVIEW Should Mrs Burton - Helena Bonham Carter - be worried? Burton’s topsy-turvy fantasies are often precipitated by marriage, the approach of it, the impossibility of it. A youthful angst, riven with dark, turbulent dreams is conjured up in many of his films. No surprise then, that Burton’s alter ego has long been Johnny Depp - a teenage pin up even in his forties, an ever- youthful peter pan who wonderfully inhabits such neverland worlds. Mad as a Hatter is true. Depp researched the role well, how hatmakers’ mercury sent them a bit doolally. His Hatter is all quirks and giggles. Less childlike than Wonka. More mettlesome too - with a streak of spy-like deception and a mean swordsman. Which means lots of fun and games, as the Hatter helps Alice escape the clutches of the toddler-headed Queen. And in Aussie actress Mia Wasikowska, Burton has found a wonderful Alice. Feisty, bewildered and headstrong, it’s a riveting performance. It needs to be. Although Burton’s attempted to escape the episodic nature of Carroll’s stories, it’s still a fitful film. Jittery pacing and over- familiar touches lessen the impact: a climactic battle seems second-hand, routinely added now in most CGI kids films. And such grandstanding lacks the intimate action of Burton’s best work. But sit back and wallow and it’s a fun, dark- edged ride - a brightly lit ghost train of a film. All credit to the actors: much of the film was shot in green-screen, the scenery, props and creatures added afterwards. Bonham Carter is brilliant as the Red Queen, barking for her ‘fat boys’ Tweedledum and Tweedledee (Matt Lucas), and bounding around like a two-year old in a temper. e monsters are suitably scary - all fangs and foetid breath. And Alice in armour ups the girlpower, proving she’s all growed up, a far cry from the blue-dress Alice of old. Younger kids will enjoy the colour and comedy. But Burton’s aiming for an all-age audience. Taking his time with the talky Edwardian set-up, and risking youthful fidgets, it’s soon action all the way. Alice’s eat-me, drink-me scene is superbly shot. And a running joke of Alice outgrowing, or drowned by, her clothes is deftly handled. Surprising then that some touches seem slapdash - some voices aren’t easily heard; some CGI (Crispin Glover’s uber-tall henchman) is easily spotted. But it’s a thoughtful, energetic movie. And Burton once again treats kids with respect - giving them scares and spinning a fast-paced tale. Adults may enjoy contemporary riffs, like Anne Hathaway’s Nigella impression as she cooks up a ghastly potion. Fittingly, it’s rooted in Britishness - Burton and Depp live here. And the voice-cast - Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Gough, Michael Sheen - is the cream of English talent. So, go see. Just don’t expect a straight telling of the Alice in Wonderland story. Why would you? It’s a Tim Burton film after all.

VOLUNTEERS
Alice in Underland. The missing W is, of course, deliberate. Not the original story, this is Tim Burton’s take on Lewis Carroll’s colourful characters. Alice is now 19, a mercurial, independent woman about to be married to a foppish man
- because it’s expected. But something’s stirring in the bushes - read it how you will. And she’s off - chasing after a mysterious White Rabbit and falling down, down the rabbit hole and into Underland. Alice doesn’t remember she’s been here before. But the Mad Hatter does. And the Red Queen won’t be pleased she’s back. Hailed as the foretold slayer of the Jabberwock, Alice must brave the monstrous Bandersnatch, and find her way back home. Otherwise, it’s off with her head.Underland? It’s what happens when you grow up - losing your sense of wonder. It’s finding out who you really are. It’s trouble and strife, the dark things of life. It’s Tim Burton: his milieu from Edward Scissorhands to Sleepy Hollow, from the Nightmare Before Christmas to Willy Wonka, from Corpse Bride to Sweeney Todd. Characters on the cusp of adulthood, fears and fantasies in a melting-pot where anything’s possible.
FILM REVIEW
Should Mrs Burton - Helena Bonham Carter - be worried? Burton’s topsy-turvy fantasies are often precipitated by marriage, the approach of it, the impossibility of it. A youthful angst, riven with dark, turbulent dreams is conjured up in many of his films. No surprise then, that Burton’s alter ego has long been Johnny Depp
- a teenage pin up even in his forties, an ever-youthful peter pan who wonderfully inhabits such neverland worlds.Mad as a Hatter is true. Depp researched the role well, how hatmakers’ mercury sent them a bit doolally. His Hatter is all quirks and giggles. Less childlike than Wonka. More mettlesome too - with a streak of spy-like deception and a mean swordsman. Which means lots of fun and games, as the Hatter helps Alice escape the clutches of the toddler-headed Queen. And in Aussie actress Mia Wasikowska, Burton has found a wonderful Alice. Feisty, bewildered and headstrong, it’s a riveting performance. It needs to be. Although Burton’s attempted to escape the episodic nature of Carroll’s stories, it’s still a fitful film. Jittery pacing and over-familiar touches lessen the impact: a climactic battle seems second-hand, routinely added now in most CGI kids films. And such grandstanding lacks the intimate action of Burton’s best work.
But sit back and wallow and it’s a fun, dark-edged ride - a brightly lit ghost train of a film. All credit to the actors: much of the film was shot in green-screen, the scenery, props and creatures added afterwards. Bonham Carter is brilliant as the Red Queen, barking for her ‘fat boys’ Tweedledum and Tweedledee (Matt Lucas), and bounding around like a two-year old in a temper.The monsters are suitably scary - all fangs and foetid breath. And Alice in armour ups the girlpower, proving she’s all growed up, a far cry from the blue-dress Alice of old. Younger kids will enjoy the colour and comedy. But Burton’s aiming for an all-age audience. Taking his time with the talky Edwardian set-up, and risking youthful fidgets, it’s soon action all the way.Alice’s eat-me, drink-me scene is superbly shot. And a running joke of Alice outgrowing, or drowned by, her clothes is deftly handled. Surprising then that some touches seem slapdash - some voices aren’t easily heard; some CGI (Crispin Glover’s uber-tall henchman) is easily spotted.But it’s a thoughtful, energetic movie. And Burton once again treats kids with respect - giving them scares and spinning a fast-paced tale. Adults may enjoy contemporary riffs, like Anne Hathaway’s Nigella impression as she cooks up a ghastly potion. Fittingly, it’s rooted in Britishness - Burton and Depp live here. And the voice-cast - Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Gough, Michael Sheen - is the cream of English talent. So, go see. Just don’t expect a straight telling of the Alice in Wonderland story. Why would you? It’s a Tim Burton film after all.
