Alice in Wonderland

So over this past March Break i saw Tim Burton's lastest film, his verison on the children's story Alice in Wonderland. This movie had me hooked right from the start. I had never seen the original Disney version of Alice in Wonderdland, so i did not even really know the whole plot line. The flim was beautfly done. It had a dark and edgeness to it, but that made it so much more interesting to watch. The look of the film was really eye catching the way in incorperated real life actors mixed with 3D animation. You had Alice who was a real person, but then you would have the cat who was all grapic animation. Some of the characters had both effects to them. The Red Queen was human looking but her oversized head was created with the 3D animation effect. Another visually pleasing element that I loved about this movie was the fashion in it. Each time Alice was taken to a new area in Wonderland, her outfit changed to match the area she was now in. When she was in her regualar world she was in the basic blue and white dress that she is known for. When she enters Wonderland her dress is still blue and white, but now it has changed and is more flowy and has more ruffles and frills to it. Even when she goes to the Red Queens castle her dress changes as well. I thought the best look she had on is when the Mad Hatter cuts and tweeks her blue and white dress. this flim had an amazing graphic and artist look to it. it was a movie that i was dying to watch over and over again, not just because of the plot line, but mostly because of the design element to it.
