That rabbit sounds like Willy from Simpsons?

Didn't think the rabbit spoke in the trailer. I'm assuming you mean the hare :(

Is Helena Bonham Carter even in anything that isn't directed by Tim Burton anymore?

I thought she was married to tim burton? kinda like how Paul W.S. Anderson gets his wife Milla Jovovich in his films.

Saw this tonight, pretty much enjoyed every second of it apart from

the completely out-of-place dance moment at the end with that god-awful music playing over the top

.

In fact I think the only disappointment was that I was secretly hoping and wishing that the trailer for Tron Legacy would be attached. Disappointment there.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.

Was surprised that it wasn't too "Burtonesque" in design if you know what I mean.

Where's my Tron trailer?!

So apparently this is pretty shite? No surprise there to be honest.

Rotten Tomatoes

Apart from the 2 people above you saying it was ok. And 7.5 from IMDB, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014759/

TBH I don't put stock in any review sites, including IMDB because it's populated by fanboy mongs. I'll wait till a few more people here have seen it and then see how I feel.

Saw it last night, it was merely okay. Hathaway was hot, Bonham-Carter was the best thing in it, Depp looked a bit bored. The 3d was rubbish really.

What about the Tron Legacy trailer?

This was a huge disappointment, It basically took the characters from the original story and rewrote them into something that resembled The Golden Compass, which was an equally terrible film.

Well it was basically a sequel of sorts.

I knew this would be shite.

Actually because of the likes of Carter and Depp being in it.

- you just know its going to be a twisted ( shit ) version of the Alice story.

Alice-in-Wonderland-Smiling-Cheshire-Cat-21-1-10-kc.jpgNO - THATS SCARY!

YES :doh:

No idea what the film's like (not seen it), but the Disney Cheshire Cat's not as good as that top version: it's supposed to be a little - disturbing. Not some cutesy thing. The whole book's a bit twisted, innit?

She was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off.

The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect.

'Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. 'Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on. 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'

I read Alice in Wonderland so many times as a child that although tempting, I know this is going to be just another Tim Buton film. He used to be my favourite directer and now he's pretty much my most despised. All he does is apply the same Burton formula on everything he comes across and there's no thought, effort or imagination in it at all.

Yeah, but subtly. In the way that everything seems cute at first but is a bit wrong when you look closer. Not gloomy and with that banal gothic look.

(I haven't seen the film)

Sure, it probably is exaggeratedly 'weird': like you, I'm not saying the film's any good. It should still be a bit unsettling, though. There's no frisson in the Disneyfied version (of the cat), and if we were just picking pictures I'd go for the top one*. Wonderland's as much nightmarish as it is dreamlike; or perhaps that's just how it is in my memory of hearing/reading it as a child.

* I'd go for the original illustrations actually, but you know what I mean.
