You know what to expect from a Tim Burton Movie--Johnny will be there, Danny Elfman will do the score, so there will be swelling choruses of angelic choirs, and sweeping movements of sound to accentuate the action. This is not the Classic Alice, but IS a good interpretation. The Real World of Alice doesn't seem overly stylized, neither does the mostly CGI Underland. Both are very beautiful. The addition of more Nonsensical Speech would do Lewis Carroll proud. The actors who lend their voices embody their characters quite well. Our live Actors deserve a fair shake as well. I am getting a bit tired of the Burton-Depp Wacky Charactor, however. Perhaps they should take a break from each other for awhile.
