Alice in Wonderland was excellent!! My children (boys- ages 8,8 &7) were enthralled by it and I thought it was extremely well done and moved very quickly. When the end came, I couldn't believe it had been almost 2 hours! I heard that it was violent and dark, but I didn't find it to be excessively either one. Of course, it is Tim Burton so it's a little more "twisted" but just amazing.
I couldn't wait to see this movie, so I took the kids on opening day! It didn't dissapoint! I will say, even though it's Disney, it may be scary for younger children. Such a great take on a classic. You should definately put it on your "must see" movie list!
