Alice in Wonderland Review

By Simone F.

Alice in Wonderland is a movie written by Linda Wolverton and directed by Tim Burton. The main characters are Alice who's played by Mia Wasikowska, Mad Hatter played by Johnny Depp, Red Queen played by Helena Bonham Carter, and the White Queen played by Anne Hathaway.

The movie is about a nineteen year old girl named Alice who's trying to fulfill her destiny in Wonderland. In order to fulfill her destiny she has to first go through a series of adventures. When Alice was seven years old she had been to Wonderland in her dreams, but now as a young adult she's really there. The whole time Alice is there she believes she's in a dream but in reality she's not.

Alice is forced to go to a garden party with her mother, which turns out to be her own engagement party. When Alice is proposed to she decides to walk into the garden and consider the marriage proposal. Alice spots an unusual rabbit in the garden, follows it and falls down the rabbit's hole.

The hole leads her to an unusual room, where she finds a key, a drink that makes her smaller, and a cake that increases her size. After getting the key and shrinking down to use a small door, she soon finds herself in a huge garden. Alice then runs into the White Rabbit again, a Dormouse, a Dodo bird, and the Tweedles. The White Rabbit tells Alice that he has ran into her at the right time, but Alice believes they are talking about a different Alice. So they decide to take Alice to the Absalom Caterpillar so he could figure everything out, everyone then finds out that she is the right Alice. Alice eventually figures out that her destiny is to slay the Jabberwocky on Frabjous Day, and to end the Red Queen's reign of terror.

I really enjoyed the film Alice in Wonderland and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys adventure and fantasy.
