DVD Review: Misses the Point
Summary: 2 Stars
I found it very annoying that the makers of this version felt the need to have everyone keep teaching little lessons and reciting little morals to Alice. As another reviewer has said, that is contrary to the whole spirit of the books and contrary to their original intent. (A similar outrage was perpetrated by the makers of the TV movie "The Odyssey," where--contrary to Homer--we see Odysseus having to learn little life lessons before he is allowed to go home.) What I did like, though, was some of the casting, especially Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat and Ben Kingsley as the Caterpillar. For those who want a good version of one of the Alices, the one starring Kate Beckinsale is actually rather good. It keeps to the events of "Through the Looking Glass" and it has a good absurdist tone. (Original review April 2007)DVD Review: my favorite Alice
Summary: 5 Stars
A in W has never been my favorite story. But we watched this on TV and I was captivated by it in a way I never have been before. It has a few longueurs, but these performers and their take on the White Knight, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen, and the Mad Hatter are the ones I'll remember. There is a poignancy to this version's Alice - an emerging personality struggling toward greater self-confidence- and a sweetness to the advice some of the characters give. Gene Wilder's Mock Turtle and his duet with the Griffin are especially wonderful.
Probably not for purists, but I'd give it a try.
DVD Review: A modernized version
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a modernized version of an old classic. It has great special effects,and has a cast of very imaginitive actors,(robin williams would have been great in this movie). The storyline remains true to the original,and all in all it is just an extremely fun movie to watch. If you are looking for an entertaining movie that you can watch with your children,then this is it.DVD Review: Great movie for children
Summary: 4 Stars
This moving is well portrayed by all characters. It is ideal for children of all ages. Alice in wonderland is a strange adventure and all actors gave a great performance and kept the movie flowing at a fast rate.
Description of Alice in Wonderland
Alice slips down a rabbit hole and tumbles into where the official language is jabberwocky and the official sense is nonsense. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 04/22/2003 Starring: Robbie Coltrane Ben Kingsley Run time: 129 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Nick WillingThis is an impressive-looking version of Lewis Carroll's story originally produced for NBC-TV. Dreading a singing recital at her parents' lavish home, Alice falls into a strange world in pursuit of a large White Rabbit. The talented child actor Tina Majorino (Corrina, Corrina) plays Alice with all the good graces but mostly wanders through the story unquestioningly. Carroll's tale of whimsical, illogical adventures is a field day for designers Roger Hall and Alan Tomkins, costumer Charles Knode, Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and director Nick Willing (Photographing Fairies. Influenced by Time Bandits and Labyrinth (the latter also designed by the Henson company), the film has a splendid array of effects, many dealing with multiple perspectives as Alice constantly changes sizes. The highlight is Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat, a seamless mix of cat and comic. Martin Short as the Hatter and Mirandra Richardson as the Queen of Hearts seem to be having the times of their lives. This is not the definitive version of Carroll's tale, and, like the popular Disney animated version, combines some elements of Carroll's sequel, Through the Looking Glass. It is perhaps better viewing for the fan that has seen another version of the tale or read the book. --Doug Thomas
