Alice.in.wonderland.2010

Reluctant at first, Alice rejects the mantle of hero. She has spent years suppressing her childhood memories, believing them to be nonsense. It is only with the help of the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), whose emotional state causes his eyes to change color, that Alice begins to reclaim her "muchness." The film’s climax is a chess-battle-come-sword-fight on a desolate chessboard field, culminating in Alice decapitating the Jabberwocky with the Vorpal Sword—a far more action-oriented ending than any page of Carroll’s book.

Visually, is unmistakably Tim Burton. The collaboration with production designer Robert Stromberg and cinematographer Dariusz Wolski resulted in a world that is part stop-motion fever dream, part digital canvas. alice.in.wonderland.2010
