Sob story. It sickens me not only because of the incest etc., but because it's the same story over and over I hear living here in a big metro area. After a while you start to wonder--what can you do if a community chooses to do these horrific things to itself? What's worse is that it expects hand outs and support from other communities--to do what? Perpetuate this disgusting behavior while other minority communities pull themselves out of poverty? The theme of abuse of women is the only part I can really sympathize.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

As expected--enjoyable

True to the trend of animations and other meant for children films/stories, this one had a darkness to it not traditionally in Disney films. It's an interpretation still so no one should expect an exact visualization of the written story. Burton did a good job, as he always does, of putting the whimsical, nonesensical on screen. There were some cheesy points, true to Disney tradition, like the little dance the Mad Hatter does and the "strive to be yourself" message. Overall, it was an enjoyable movie and not nearly as creepy as the newest version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Coraline so children should like it too.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
