I just started reading the first one today actually after having bought it a little while ago. I read the diary from the series and was entertained by it. I just never got time to read them until now, and they got packed away for a couple months after our house flooded and it was getting repaired which didn't help any. I like the angle it's going for. It looks like they're working on a movie as well. If you have not heard the soundtrack (music inspired by the book) I highly recommend it. I have that and it stayed in the car for ages. My kids really like it as well.

Thanks to all; I've gone to my local library and looked for the AiW books but they were taken out already. :/ They told me to come back after two weeks. o.O I've gone to amazon.com and ordered them. I expect I'll be reading Alice's adventures in a few weeks!

Oh the Jabberwocky,


'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought–
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came wiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Here's a picture for the folks who never saw him before.

Anne Hathaway, while doing press for *grimace* ..Bride Wars, spoke briefly about her role in Alice as the, um, Queen Ant in Greenscreen Land:

“I play the White Queen. I filmed this past fall. I worked for two weeks. I had an absolute ball. I was very lucky I had a couple of weeks to create this character. The thing about Tim is that whenever you are working with an auteur like that, your limits for the character are the limits for their imagination and in the case of Tim Burton there are no limits to his imagination. It was wonderful living in a very creative world everyday. It was odd -- I have never done full greenscreen before: there was a room four times the size of this room, with ceilings that go three times as high and it’s all green. You feel like you live in a kind of ant colony… a very green one. That was strange… but it was just new. I loved working with Johnny Depp. And Mia, the girl who plays Alice – people are gonna love her portrayal, she is a very exciting young actress… I loved it. I just loved playing my character.”

By the way, still no confirmation on whether or not that picture of Depp as the Mad Hatter is real or not. I still think it looks like someone cropped his face from Edward Scissorhands and slapped it on a guy in an orange suit, but I guess time will tell.

Stupid text block... Well, the trailer's out. I'd suggest a place to watch it, but it seems to be blocked. Just go to the most popular internet video site and search 'Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland".

I totally dig Original Disney films, re-adaptations I am not much into. I have seen some of Burton's films and I am not too fond of them. I will stick to the original Disney's Alice in Wonderland. Thank You.

This is actually a sequel to the original Alice in Wonderland story. Alice has grown up - she's in her late teens or early twenties, and has forgotten all about Wonderland. She is proposed to at a Victorian picnic and runs away, follows the White Rabbit down the hole.
Neverland is not the way it used to be, and she must join all of her old friends to fight the Queen of Hearts and restore Wonderland to its whimsical old self.

Just saw the previews for it today when I went to see Avatar (incredible btw) and it looks like it's gonna be awesome! If I went to see it, it would be for the 3D experience.

The movie looks beautiful, but I'm rather disappointed that it's not the original story, but rather some sort of sequel. I'm still looking forward to it, of course.

the_phoenix has turned into a sparkling Pirate!the_phoenix has turned into a sparkling Pirate!
here's what I know so far...


ALICE KINGSLEIGH (Mia Wasikowska)
A 19-year-old woman contemplating her future. An independent soul, she feels trapped in the narrow-minded views of women in aristocratic Victorian London. Alice Kingsleigh is uncertain how to balance her dreams with other people's expectations. Following the death of her beloved father, she attends a garden party with her mother and sister, although, unbeknownst to her, it's been planned as her engagement party. Just as the arrogant and dull Hamish Ascot proposes to her, Alice spots a White Rabbit wearing a waistcoat and pocket watch scurrying across the grounds. She rushes off after the furry fellow, tumbling down a rabbit hole and into Underland, a place she first visited as a child (and called Wonderland) - though she has no memory of it or its inhabitants. Alice nevertheless reunites with her childhood friends, including Absolem the caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and of course, the Mad Hatter - and seeks her true destiny. "In the beginning, Alice is very awkward and uncomfortable in her skin," Wasikowska says. "So her experience in Underland is about reconnecting with herself and finding she has the strength to be more self-assured in figuring out what she wants."


CHESSUR, THE CHESHIRE CAT (voice of Stephen Fry)
A dapper tabby with the ability to appear and disappear. He is all calm with a grin that masks his cowardice. It's the cat's disembodied head that first appears to Alice in Tulgey Wood after she's been attacked by the vicious Bandersnatch. He offers to purify the gashes on her arm by licking them. Alice declines, although she allows him to lead her to the Hatter's Tea Party where the Hatter blames him for deserting them on the day the Red Queen seized control of Underland. Using his skills and the Hatter's coveted top hat, Chessur later finds a way to redeem himself.


THE MAD HATTER (Johnny Depp)
He doesn't just wear his heart on his sleeve - his ever-changing moods are quite literally reflected in his face and his attire. He's been anxiously awaiting Alice's return and is, arguably, her one true friend, believing in her when nobody else does. He is fearless, going to great lengths to protect her at his own risk. Once the proud hat maker for the White Queen, the Hatter has been affected by mercury poisoning, an unfortunate side effect of the hat-making process, and isn't altogether well.


IRACEBETH, THE RED QUEEN (Helena Bonham Carter)
Thee tyrannical monarch of Underland. With her oversized head, fiery temper and propensity to scream for people's heads to be chopped off, she rules her subjects through fear. "She's got emotional problems," says Bonham Carter. "It takes nothing, practically, for her to lose her temper. Her tantrums are that of a two-year-old." Her younger sibling, the White Queen, has designs on the throne and crown that Iracebeth once stole from her.


ILOSOVIC STAYNE, THE KNAVE OF HEARTS
(Crispin Glover)
The head of the Red Queen's Army. Seven feet, six-inches tall, with a scarred face and a heart-shaped patch covering his left eye, Stayne is an arrogant, tricky character who follows the Red Queen's every order. He's the only one capable of pacifying her and calming her dramatic mood swings. "I am the martial element for the Red Queen," says Glover. "The Red Queen has a fair amount of short-tempered reactions to things that people do, and so my character has to be quite diplomatic." His darker side emerges in the shadows of the castle hallways.


TMCTWISP, THE WHITE RABBIT
(voice of Michael Sheen)
Always late, always in a hurry, always rushing about. Charged with finding Alice and bringing her back to Underland so that she can fulfill her destiny, he shows up at her garden party in an effort to lure her back down the rabbit hole. "He's a warm character," says Sheen, "but, at the same time, he can be quite fussy and quite strict with Alice as well. He has an edge to him, a nervous energy, always feeling like he's behind time. Time is very important to him, but he's quite brave when called upon."


MALLYMKUN, THE DORMOUSE
(voice of Barbara Windsor)
A swashbuckling mouse in Underland who wears riding breeches. She refuses to believe that the White Rabbit has found the right Alice, the one who can help return Underland to its true splendor, and is only too happy to poke poor Alice in the ankle with a hat pin when Alice insists she's only dreaming. But the tough little mouse comes through in a pinch when Alice is threatened by a clawing creature called a Bandersnatch. Her loyalty to the Hatter is unmatched, and she willingly faces the prospect of death to stand by him.


ABSOLEM, THE CATERPILLAR (voice of Alan Rickman)
The all-knowing and absolute guardian of the Oraculum, an ancient document that depicts every major event, past, present and future, in Underland's history. Alice is taken by the White Rabbit and the Tweedles to meet Absolem, so that he can ascertain whether she is, in fact, the real Alice who first visited Underland as a child, the Alice who is destined to help them. They find the bulbous blue caterpillar atop a mushroom in a mushroom forest surrounded by misty smoke. Several times Absolem challenges Alice to come to a better understanding of herself, forcing her to face the difficult question: "Who are you?"


FOR SOME REASON...the pictures don't show up for me, is that happening to you guys, too??

I think this will be more of a scary movie than a fairy tale.

Tim Burton will tend to take something and make it extremely creepy.

The Mad Hatter also looks like a cross between Marilyn Manson and Carrot Top.
