Tim Burton did a wonderful job of portraying the characters from the book. What most people don't realize is that this version of the film brings together the original book and the sequel "Through The Looking Glass". The characters were so real - even the imaginary ones. I loved Alice - she was so relateable.
I would reccommend this to all of my friends. It really isn't as much of a kids' film though. I could see where they would enjoy it, but there is so much more to offer to it.
