My Name Is Alice

Alice In Wonderland is a delightful, whimsical book. But it's also just on the edge of a nightmare. Most adaptations miss this. Now Tim Burton is having a go at it.

This being Burton, he's not going to follow the original Tenniel illustrations. The visuals that have been released, in fact, make it look like his version will take place all along this edge.

I'm looking forward to it. Still, the visuals are only the start. Alice is a smart work even without illustrations.

PS I now hear this isn't a remake of the Alice books, but an extension--Alice is older and returning to Wonderland. Don't like how that sounds.

Some people were unhappy with how he mangled Willy Wonka. What will they think of going after a true classic?
