There's no secret to anyone that I watched a lot of Disney animated movies when I was a kid (well except for Home on the Range....I will talk that movie when the time comes). I watched them repeatedly and still have fun with them...this movie is no exception.
The story (of course that we all know today) is about a girl named Alice who grows bored of listening to her older sister reading aloud from a history book of someone that I just don't care about (sorry, Brits). Alice tells her kitten Dinah that she will live in a nonsensical land called Wonderland. After she daydreamed about it, she spot a rabbit called..White Rabbit, who's late for something that has to do with the Queen of Hearts's stuff or ceremony. Alice and her kitten follows the white rabbit and Alice goes inside the rabbit hole and falls into a place called (you guessed it) Wonderland. A place that's so weird that it's better not to explain it at all. (Spoilers!) However, all of this was just a dream from Alice, and she, Dinah, and her older sister just go went back home and it's obviously time for tea.
The way they show Wonderland was very, and I mean very strange. There's a Dodo bird that sorta looks like Christopher Columbus, fishes that have no problem breathing without water when doing this dance, Tweedledee and Tweedledum telling a story about the Walrus and the Carpenter, a short guy with a hat and his rabbit celebrates tea party and 'unbirthday' all the time, the Queen of Hearts and Alice herself playing croquet by using a flamingo as a mallet and a hedgehog as the ball, and there's this caterpillar, and and and......IT'S WEIRD!! But you know what, it's so much fun because of that.
The animation is colorful and top notch, despite (again) the weird imagery it had. The songs are catchy. The voice acting is great as every Disney animated movie out there. And the pacing is wacky but necessary.
But, there were some flaws. One being that the Alice character wasn't all that convincing. The running time is too short. And some of the weird imagery may be too much for my taste.
But in all seriousness, the movie is still a lot of fun and it's easily recommended. For those who want to know about my thoughts about Tim Burton's version of Alice of Wonderland, I thought it was decent but nothing special, however I'm obviously gonna do a review of it but for now, you'll just had to wait. This movie though weird, is a fun ride for your kids and yourself.
Score: 8.7/10
