Doug (vo): Whenever people hear the title "Alice in Wonderland" usually the first thing they think of is the Disney version, and, yeah actually that's not such a bad version to think of.
Story and Review
Doug (vo): The story about a young girl who finds herself trapped in a very strange mysterious land, is much more based on the journey than finding twists or turns. The character of Alice is a bit of a blank slate; she's the normal person that's 'sposed to play off all the weird strange things that she comes across. It plays very much like a road trip movie; you come across something strange, you have an encounter with it, and then you move on to the next strange thing. Like i said the focus is not the twists and turns but all the oddities that she comes across. It's like Dante's Inferno; it's a more study of what you're seeing than what your experiencing. But with that said, the girl they got to play Alice is actually pretty good. Her name's Katherine Beaumont and she does a really good job actually giving some character to this person. The dialogue from Alice in Wonderland is not easy to recite and it's not easy to make casual, but she does a pretty good job. She's curious, she's polite, she nice but, can be pushed to her limits, she tries to join in the fun, but often just finds herself too frustrated, and she's also very logical, which makes a lot of sense in a story like this because this is a world where logic almost has no place.
Chesire Cat: He went that way.
Alice: Who did?
Chesire Cat: The White Rabbit.
Alice: He did?!
Chesire Cat: He did what?
Alice: Went that way.
Chesire Cat: Who did?
Alice: The White Rabbit!
Chesire Cat: What rabbit?
Alice: But didn't you just say? I mean, oh dear!
Chesire Cat: Can you stand on your head?
(Alice just angrily scoffs)
Doug (vo): My favourite characters or your favorite characters along the metro of them are
terrible patricia arquette
the relapse will be crazy but at the same time i think the fun with it is
that you never know what they're threatening her
the mood swings are just so fast and you never know what something really
dangerous is going to happen or they're just plain on half the time i don't even
think they know
stuff out
renee no case
landmark
war on there
the queen is one of my favorite for the filled
actually watching her again i realize that he did take a lot of the Nostalgia Critic from scared
just how quickly see contract from calm and collected to just screaming like a
little trial
i really do love pathetic whiny threat to the product body but somehow hepatoma
pop
and i love watching alice trying to figure out what's the right thing to say
a great thing to do because you know that any second her had to be tall
actually that's a pretty dark aspect of the story is that how many characters do
you actually get their heads chopped off in this movie just because they don't
show it doesn t it isn't happening
it's pretty grim
wonderland itself is very different from other interpretations it doesn't have a
bright colorful background it's very black
most of the backgrounds of black
but that's how we treat because one color does come in it's always bright is
always clashing and always pops
some people have problems that they cut out to much from the original close and
well it's a disney film at eleven a one it that you started to get whatever you
get it
i will say with all the forced disney sequels out there control this never got
one
there is literally a sequel book to alice in wonderland
why didn't they just change things around a bit and start putting in some of the
other characters like the Knight, the turtle, the Griffin; there's a ton of variations you could go with this. But oh well. What I do like about Alice in Wonderland is that it does make the transition into movie form. That's the trap I think a lot of other movie versions fall into; is that they try to follow the book a little too closely. Ironically, with the Tim Burton one, I don't think they followed it enough, but, I've complained about that enough before.
Final Thoughts
Doug (vo): Alice in Wonderland is creative, it looks great, it's a wonderful journey movie, and the majority of it works because the main character, is just so likeable. I have very few complaints about it except honestly, I would've like to seen more. But I guess that's a good complaint to have. If you're looking for a movie that's big on story, surprises and character development, this is probably not the place to look. But I think most people going into Alice in Wonderland know what they're going to get. And in my opinion, this is one of the better versions.
