I am a diehard Alice fan. My brother remembers having to watch it 700 times when I was younger because I was in love. This movie had A LOT to live up to. And it did. If anyone is familiar with Joseph Campbell's study of the hero journey, this did it. Only Alice's journey was into become a healthy and well-balanced woman. A GREAT MESSAGE FOR KIDS, way better than's DIsney's ridiculousness. I left floating. The visuals were great, Depp was not my favorite of his characters but okay nonetheless.
