With Wednesday Season 2″ releasing in a couple short weeks, John & Aaron RETURN to Wonderland for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Full Movie Spoiler Review!!
Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey journey through the looking glass in this Reaction & Review of Alice in Wonderland (2010), Tim Burton’s visually stunning reimagining of the classic Lewis Carroll tale. In this fantastical adventure, Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak, Jane Eyre) stars as 19-year-old Alice Kingsleigh, who returns to the whimsical world of Underland to fulfill her destiny and defeat the tyrannical Red Queen.
Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean, Sweeney Todd) brings eccentric energy to the Mad Hatter, while Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown, Fight Club) steals scenes as the hilariously unhinged Red Queen with her signature “Off with their heads!” cry. Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables, The Devil Wears Prada) floats ethereally through the film as the White Queen, and Crispin Glover (Back to the Future, Willard) plays the menacing Knave of Hearts.
The voice cast includes Alan Rickman (Harry Potter, Die Hard) as the philosophical Blue Caterpillar, Stephen Fry (V for Vendetta) as the grinning Cheshire Cat, and Michael Sheen (The Twilight Saga) as the White Rabbit. Notable moments include Alice’s epic battle with the Jabberwocky, her showdown against the Red Queen, and her iconic armor-clad transformation into a hero. With Danny Elfman’s haunting score and Burton’s signature gothic flair, Alice in Wonderland became a box office sensation and a landmark in Disney’s live-action fantasy catalog.

  1. Funnily enough, she actually shrunk into her glove with the whole drink me stuff, cause if you look at her full fit before, the gloves she had on had the exact pattern and ties as the dress she had one when she shrunk.

    If I’m not mistaken, the whole premise of this movie uses or is inspired by the jabberwocky poem by Lewis Carroll; the bandersnatch, jubjub bird, frabjous day, the fact that they keep mentioning Alice being a boy, it’s all in the poem and the mad hatter is actually saying the poem when he and Alice are walking through the forest (like when he said “galumphing back” and all that)

    This was the first movie I watched in the cinema and honest to god, it 1000% altered my brain chemistry😭😭 i love this movie so damn much

  2. 44:44 It's not crunching lol, his arm is extending. I guess it's lost when you're not watching it in 3D
    I saw this movie in the cinema in 3D when it came out. I thought it looked amazing at the time, not realistic, but that wasn't really the intention. I think the 3D aspect covered for some of the even then not greatest CGI parts

  3. I really enjoy this movie because it's not a remake it's set up as a continuation. She convinced herself that she only dreamed about Wonderland as a child, but now she got to go back and discovered it was real.

  4. The cast of this movie definitely carries, without these great performances I know I probably wouldn’t have liked it as much. Especially Johnny Depp and Helena Bonam Carter. They make up for the plots issues and the wonky CGI. 😄

  5. The Hatters neckerchief scarf is based off a type of sweet called liquorice allsorts which is very British.They where first made in Sheffield in 1899 a year after Lewis Carroll died. You should try them. I hate any liquorice sweet including a liquorice allsort. 🤣

  6. I have always loved the Alice in Wonderland 1999 movie with Whoopie Goldberg in it. Some scenes freaked me out a little as a kid but I have always enjoyed it.

  7. Another version to watch that is good is the tv movie mini series Alice in Wonderland and I believe the second part is Alice Through the Looking Glass. It was from 1985.
    A lot of familiar actors are in that. And they actually dress up in costume. This mentions and has the Jabberwocky also and it’s funny cuz it kinda looks like a small Godzilla. 😂
    It’s a musical too.

  8. (An excerpt I wrote this week cause I was thinking about this movie)
    From the Perspective of Alice

    “You’re not the same as you were before”

    Well He’s only a madman missing someone else’s fire, surely.

    But in a world that tells you you’re too much,
    I’d say the true madness, would be forgetting your muchness

    And Hatters never been angry with me- but here, when I doubt my self now as Alice
    He seems heartbroken, really.

    And he’s right, I did once think:
    Too loud, too strange,
    too sharp,
    too much.

    Then he said:
    “You used to be much more… muchier.
    You’ve lost your muchness.”

    Hatter-the madman, the fool-lamenting.
    Had said I’d lost it.

    Lost what?

    Maybe that is the crueler thing then?
    Not being too much,
    but forgetting that once
    I was more.

    And the Hatter missed it, missed the fire
    not because I was the wrong Alice
    But because I was hiding the fire
    Hiding the real Alice?

    So if I am that Alice.. the real Alice
    if I am Mad
    if I am Much
    Or Uhm

    let it be so

    It shines rather nicely
    And it seems to make the hatter happy
    So there

  9. Sois bastante pesados comentando todo el tiempo el uso de pantallas verdes y lo que es real y lo que no. Enhorabuena, sabéis cómo funciona el cine, pero es que es imposible que os metáis dentro de la historia y os emocionéis si estáis continuamente comentando eso. Y por cierto, las producciones actuales no se ven necesariamente mejor que las de hace 10 o 15 años, de hecho muchas se ven peor porque los creadores de efectos especiales disponen de menos tiempo para hacerlo, como ocurre en Marvel

  10. I actually enjoy the next one, Alice Through The Looking Glass. It had more heart and I like the character portrayals better in that. But that's me! 🐇🤣

  11. So, these Alice movies are sequels to the books and work with the original world. They can be seen without reading the books but it helps if you read them. Doesn’t really have anything to do do with the cartoon which mashed the two books together. And there is a Red Queen and a Queen of Hearts, two different characters.

  12. Thought this movie was a fever dream when I was little but many years later realized it was an actual movie when I heard they were making a second movie😂

  13. I have been a Burton and Johnny Depp fan all through middle and high school and I enjoyed parts of this movie but ultimately I was a bit disappointed. I felt it relied too much on this very specific CGI art style. Things sure looked strange but for some reason things just didn’t seem to have that same level of magic that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had even though that movie also wasn’t up to everyone’s expectations I felt it at least did some pretty cool and interesting things visually.

    My roommate was obsessed with these Alice movies and I just didn’t get it. I thought they were ok and enjoyed getting to see them once but having to watch them over and over again just made me notice what fun could have been had with these movies.

    And I believe Burton himself always wasn’t as happy with them as he wanted to be if I’m not mistaken. I heard that Disney wouldn’t allow him to do his original vision and kept coming in and changing things. Oh that’s too weird or that’s too scary blah blah blah. The OG movie and story itself has been taken on by people whom partake in certain drugs shrooms, acid,etc if you will.

    And to me I felt this movie could have been way more epic and trippy and visually stimulating. Instead we got this weird washed out color pallet (yes I know it has a story purpose but yawn I’m bored). And way more fun could have been had. But I think Burton felt stifled by the Disney overlords and we got this washed out sort of bland version of what could have been because that’s how he felt.

    Not that there isn’t any fun in these movies or that they are terrible by any means. That isn’t the case. Just think that if you are going to hire someone like Tim Burton known for their visual style and whimsical yet often times dark and gothic and constantly micromanage them and shut down their ideas then what even is the point of hiring someone like them in the first place.

  14. I watched this movie in theaters as a preteen and I was super into it lol my mom and I used to jam to the end credits song by avril

  15. You know what crazy is that I watched this movie a ton growing up and I still never noticed how tall Stayne was, idky it just never clicked for me that he was crazily tall/stretched. XD

  16. Hey guys, great reaction! I actually like this version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, although Disney's animated feature is #1, IMO.😊 I think it was the 2nd Tim Burton movie that wasn't all that great.

    Many parts of this ALICE IN WONDERLAND are actually from the story of Alice Through the Looking Glass, especially the mention of the Jabberwacky & the Bandersnatch. I think the White Queen & King are also from Through the Looking Glass. Once again, my friends, the critter croquet balls are hedgehogs.

    Alice in Disney's animated feature was depicted as being around 10 yrs old, in the 1st of Carroll's Wonderland books she was only 7 yrs old, & in Alice Through the Looking Glass & the Things She Found There, she was supposed to be 7 1/2.

    U do know the real life story, don't u? Lewis Carroll was kind of obsessed w/a girl named Alice that he met when she was a small child, who became the protagonist of his stories. He had become friends w/her family. Supposedly, he even asked for her hand in marriage, but I can't remember what age she was when he did, but I'm pretty sure she was still quite young. Shortly after, her parents cut ties w/him, but no one knows if that was why or if there was another reason.

  17. i grew up and was obsessed with this Alice in Wonderland movie when i was younger. it will always hold a special place in my heart. Alice Through the Looking Glass came out when i was in middle school and i begged my mom (who also loved this verision) to go see it with me and became even more obsessed!

  18. I haven't thought of this movie in awhile, but i did quite enjoy it when it first came out! It was at the beginning of the "grimdark" trend so the whole this was a bit more novel.

  19. This animated Disney took hella liberty and cherry picked Lewis Carol's work for child friendly scenes. This one uses the first book and the poem to tell the rest of the story that isn't as well known unless you read it.

  20. Tim Burton took the blueprint of the lore which is all it was just a basic blueprint and added all the necessary details to make it perfect I consider his movies cannon because of how well he was able to use the blueprint of the actual story
