Epic in Wonderland

"om nom nom nom" white rabbit
Come gather ’round ye merry dolls!
We have something to look forward to in 2010 with a classic remake by the one who directed to you The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Corpse Bride, and Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton! I truly hope we get a tasty, dark fairy tale treat in the shape of Alice in Wonderland. The original tale was called “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland” by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (a.k.a. Lewis Carroll) in the late 1800s (Original Source AND searchable book: http://www.online-literature.com/carroll/) but was better known as “Alice in Wonderland” in later variations.
You have your basic white rabbit, your insane queen of hearts, your mad hatter, your insane Cheshire Cat, and a world that made little sense (but was full of wonder). What more could you ask for in a movie? The only question we have is whether Burton can handle a tale as historically epic as this one. Of course the lore and characters created by Carroll will enable the movie to have depth and breadth before a single character appear on the screen, but will it hold up during the sub-two hours or two hour-something movie? I certainly hope so (and, maybe even a little twist on the characters that we know and love — Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter?).
All I can say is that I can’t hardly wait to journey into Wonderland with Johnny Depp singing and drinking tea.
