The official trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is out. It looks really good, and it doesn't hurt that Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter:

I'm looking forward to this!

The last version of this movie that I saw was this X-rated one, also very good (saw it back in the 70's): IMDB

I thought the Syfy version "Alice" was very well done.

Saw the trailer in the theater a few weeks ago, it must have been prior to Fantastic Mr. Fox. Can't wait for another Tim Burton Johnny Depp collaboration!

Can you please report on this post-viewing? I won tickets to a screening last night and came down with a vicious cold, so I missed it! I am anxiously awaiting reviews!

For you Alice fans, check out the original Alice movie, done in 1903.

"The first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll's tale has recently been restored by the BFI National Archive from severely damaged materials. Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel's original illustrations. In an act that was to echo more than 100 years later, Hepworth cast his wife as the Red Queen, and he himself appears as the Frog Footman. Even the Cheshire cat is played by a family pet.

With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film's original colours for the first time in over 100 years."

BACK!!! Truly magnificent!! So many things to look at, you could easily see it twice and not be bored as you'll notice things you missed the first time.

The casting and costumes/make-up were phenomenal. It's a bit dark but I was pleasantly surprised how many laughs there were to be had.

As for kids, I wouldn't recommend it for young ones, maybe kids 12 and up? (Coming from a mom with only a 31/2 year old.)

Loved it!! Saw the IMAX 3D version (not sure if there are others).

I agree with what Miz said above. A Tim Burton treatment of the wild, fanciful adventure tale (visually darker and extremely creative). Great script stuck close to the story, and explained why Alice was older. The makeup, casting, costumes and effects were incredible! Lots of laughs.

Not really for the wee littlies...we went with 9 and 10 year olds who knew the Alice story and could enjoy the movie without being scared.

Babyruth....I saw in regular 3D but I'm sure seeing in IMAX 3D must have been a visual mecca!

My 13 year old daughter said it was good but also boring. She didn't like it, but thinks it was a good movie.

7.3/10 3,621 votes per imdb right now.

Me and my 8 year old saw it in 3D. We both enjoyed it a lot. She proclaimed that white was her new favorite color in honor of the White Queen.

It's not the kind of movie I'll need to own to watch over and over, but I think it was certainly worth a trip to the theater to experience Wonderland in 3D.

Just got back from the cinema. This is what DH had to say: "I felt it was too dark and that Johnny Depp looked like Carrot Top, and those 3-D eyes of his looked like they were gonna pop out anytime. Overall it was fun-fare, but not for really little kids." (I talked him down agewise, cuz he originally felt that kids under 16 were too young for it. I explained that we were raised on Leave it to Beaver and Bewitched, while kids nowadays see dark, stuff like Harry Potter and Twilight...)

I on the other hand thoroughly enjoyed it, once I got over most of my jumpiness. I don't do 3-D very well... Anyways, I beg to differ about my delicious Johnny Depp, he was brilliant as the Mad Hatter. And the gal who played Alice was perfect.

Is this Avatar type of 3D or the old fashioned pop out and scare you 3D?

Avatar type 3D. They handed out the same grey polarized glasses as in Avatar. :-)

In the spirit of accuracy, there are a few things that do come right up to your nose. I jumped a couple of times, although nobody else seemed to mind. I don't do 3-D very well, so I kept the glasses on the tip of my nose and sometimes I looked through them and sometimes above them. Bottom line is that it's a wonderful film and I expect that you will love it. Keep us posted. :-)
