Tim Burton's latest adventure, Alice In Wonderland, is nothing short of Mr. Burton's wild imagination in full bloom. The movie (which is available in 3D, Imax 3D, and classic viewing) is probably one of Mr. Burton's most visually mesmerizing films. The movie starts when Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is proposed to by a comically portrayed Lord in front of a party. She ends up returning to Wonderland (as an adult) while her possible fiance awaits her answer.

Once in Wonderland, we are reintroduced to old favorites such as the Caterpillar (voiced by Alan Rickman), the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen), the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (Matt Lucas of HBO's Little Britain USA), and of course the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp). This installment of the Wonderland adventures shows us the struggle for power over Wonderland between sisters Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) and White Queen (Anne Hathaway). Also a notable performance by Crispin Glover, who plays the Red Queen's right hand man, Stayne- Knave of Hearts. In this version, we delve deep into the characters a little more, see what makes them, well, them. Also, Mr. Burton's version is more true to the book and story line that Lewis Carroll wrote.

Personally, I loved the relationship that was set up between the Mad Hatter and Alice. It is one of reverence and mutual kindness. Visually, the movie is quite stunning. I did not see the movie in 3D or Imax 3D, but I guarantee if you see them in those versions, the movie will be just as stunning. Even in its classic viewing, I felt as if I was accompanying a minuscule Alice as she was transported on the flying Mad Hatters hat. Even though the movie is 90% CGI, Burton fans will not be disappointed. Keep an eye out for trademarks of past Burton films such as the silhouette of the Boogie Man (Nightmare Before Christmas), a cloud formation of Jack Skellington, trademark curled tree branches, and more. If you are a parent and wonder if the movie is kid-friendly, do not worry. It is rated PG. There is a fight scene (which should have been more epic) but any gore makes Sweeney Todd look like the most gory and bloody 80's slasher films. Also not disappointing, is Tim Burton's use of color to portray good/evil.

Like in Sweeney Todd, crimson red portrays evil, and light blue/white portrays good. Overall, if you wish to take another trip down the rabbit hole as an adult as Alice did in this version, go buy your ticket. There's a darker, less drug-plagued, but more "Wonder"-ful Wonderland awaiting your arrival.
