Tim Burton is a genius and changes everything about the art form of movies with this extraordinary adaptation of the old tale. The subtlety of Lewis Carrol's work is maintained, with logical statements not altogether lost. Johnny Depp is brilliant once again, as is Helena Bonham Carter. No one has over-played their role, so the beauty of the production comes trough. The details alone are worth a 2nd trip back. The entire movie is a joy to watch and a delightful world in which to live for a few hours.
