Alice in Wonderland is a classic that most Americans are familiar with, however this version (especially in 3-D) blows away all pre-conceived expectations. It was like hearing the story for the very first time. The acting was amazing- especially considering the abstract nature of the characters- but most impressive was Burtons use or color and light- it was like gothic-neon; the film bared unique characteristics in comparison with Burtons usual M.O. This is an amazing movie, the story is appropriate across cultures, and the context is appropriate for all ages.
