As most will attest Burton's movies for the most part are visually stunning: Sweeney Todd, Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and even Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to name but a few (We do not bear talk about or even mention the "Ape" movie though!! God in heaven, what a colossal f#ck up that was!)
So yeah, his take on Alice and Wonderland again "looks" fantastic! I mean just take a gander at those images below:
But his obvious interest in the visual aesthetic will probably once again supersede everything else, leaving us with an eye-popping but overall "flat" experience.

I don't want to jump the gun, or anything, but, really, after the total hash the man made of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, I'm not holding out much hope for this. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter? now, there's original for you! oh, and look: there's Tweedledee & Tweedledum! I could be wrong here, it HAS been the best part of thirty odd years since I last picked up my copy of Wonderland, after all, but I'm pretty darn sure that Tweedledee & Tweedledum are NOT in it. . .
nice pictures, though.
Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up for this one.
I'll buy the art book if nothing else.
