The best allegory for growing up since Into the Woods by Sondheim. Bonham - Carter stole the movie with a villianous Red Queen that you didn't know wether to hate or feel sorry for. Depp was his usual wonderful self with a kaleidscope of madness. Hathaway <for the few minutes she was on the screen > showed a emotionally layered White Queen. The voice acting was beyond compare ! Set and Costumes should win a Academy !
