Alice in Wonderland 2010 (Tim Burton)
Certainly, this is not the story that Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898) wrote in 1862. However, I believe that he would approve since one cannot expect a story to stay the same in the telling after 148 years. Director Burton has taken Alice to the next level with emphasis on the nonsense-poem, Jabberwocky. The result is frabjous. Throughout, Burton has paid tribute to the original with many references to the Dodgson/Lewis Carroll work. And kudos to Danny Elfman for a wonderful score. [JAM 3/7/2010]
